The fact that you are asking if you need the latest and greatest mean you don’t. Every year is diminishing returns.

Because you can’t optimize for both.

I’d argue it’s misleading because they are using Steam numbers for Halo. 90% of the people playing are probably on Xbox.

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is that this will inevitably make batteries smaller.

If you are supposed to be able to open the phone and remove the battery manufacturers need to design a way to remove the cover, shield other components, create a compartment for the battery, and use sturdier batteries. All of those things take us space. Manufacturers aren’t just going to make phones thicker so that physical space has to be eaten by something… and it’s going to be the battery.

I really liked having a removable battery on my phone 10 years ago in case I had a particularly long/intensive day. But now that I make it through a day without worry this could actually be sorta annoying.

While I love that every mission ends in a drop pod escape sequence, it would be interesting to have one mission that was different.

Maybe a survival/horde mode where you just have to last as long as possible or complete as many small tasks as possible before you inevitably wipe. That obviously doesn’t fit into the success/failure model of the rest of the game so maybe it would have to be a seasonal event or something.

I will happily buy a Pixel Watch as soon as they release one larger than the current single size. Fingers crossed for the Pixel Watch 3 I guess.

Ironically unreadable without desktop mode on mobile.

I (now) understand the technical difference, but in actual usage it seems like they will behave exactly the same.
