Apple isn't innovative enough to command such high prices anymore.  All the major phone companies seem to offer consumers the same things.  Personally, I don't particularly care whether a phone has a bezel, but I do want a headphone jack.  
Lionel
I have a similar reaction as you do. The bezel-free phone isn't that innovative as other phones can be like that. I suppose the innovation will come from app makers who will make use of the upgraded power, space, and speed of the new phones.

The aspect ratio sounds lovely, though I wish it won't be like the Edge series. I think it's a good concept that doesn't work so well in reality because we risk on touching the screen unnecessarily. I don't mind having a thin bezel if it helps... See more

Me too, I don't mind the bezels at all. I think the removal of the bezels is overrated. Although, I have no problem with a very small part of the screen where the camera will be placed.

One of the best inventions indeed. I have a water bottle on my work desk at all time, so the way this product glows means a better reminder for me to take enough daily fluid. Do you think the price is justified?
Lionel
I also agree that this is a great invention. It may be a bit pricey. However, if we compare the price of this bottle to the medical bills we might incur due to dehydration then it is far cheaper. Prevention is better than cure, right?
Lionel commented on Portable Solar Generator
PX1995
It looks awfully large for camping, but maybe that's just the photo. Solar power is a terrific resource for environmentally friendly power so I'm thrilled to see innovations in this area.  
Lionel
It is still in development so we can be sure that this solar generator will become smaller in the future. I think they can use one panel, but it will still need space for the battery and power regulator.

A power bank is a must-have accessory but again a lot of what we see out here are counterfeits. This guide is useful as it points out the more reliable ones. When it comes to power banks, I prefer to be guide by brand.
Lionel
The brand name may help up find a good device. On the other hand, there are also counterfeits that have a good name. This is more prevalent with clothing, but it is now being done with electronics.

After reading the review, I became curious and decided to check this accessory's price, but in vain. How much is it likely to cost?
Lionel
There is a link below the article where we can go to the manufacturer's website for us to pre-order the gadget at $13. It stated that the delivery for this device is this month, but I'm not sure exactly when.

Lionel
Apple is a trendsetter so of course, companies will try to do or imitate what Apple has done. Apple might have used the technology they intended for AirPower. We can see the future devices that can charge through sharing from another device.
Lionel
On the other hand, I have a feeling that the "patent" issue between Apple and other companies, especially Qualcomm, may have affected the delay of the AirPower. I hope there will be a universal charger someday when most devices can do a wireless... See more

With today's smartphones and tablets, we can watch the news or clips of the shows we like watching on websites with streaming video. Netflix and Hulu are just two examples of many networks that let viewers see their shows online.
Lionel commented on The Amazing Pencil
Jamiex
It is true that the Apple Pencil is out of this world, in almost all aspects. It is notable that Apple chose to design in a different and unique way, in the end making it stand out. What are the demerits of this accessory?
Lionel
The first Pencil is not as spectacular as the Pencil 2. If I'm not mistaken though, Pencil 2 is an optional device and not bundled with the iPad Pro. It is an additional $129 for owners of iPad Pro if they like to have the Pencil 2.

Reading all the reviews on the different kinds of phones, it makes me appreciate the free market because a lot of people are looking at the free market as evil. Competition breeds innovation and this is so true for smartphones.

DarrenJax
I want to see the new iPad Pros since they're supposed to be "overhauled" according to the article.  Just being able to share a charger with my other devices is compelling enough for me. 
Lionel
With the move to use USB-C, will it be possible to share a charger with other devices that are not Apple made? There will always be the question of compatibility.

Hey there Lionel. I noticed that you liked portable chargers based on your reviews. Thanks for sharing these reviews with us. I really need to buy one of these chargers so I won't scramble to find a house to plug my phone when I'm traveling.

I love to travel so these portable chargers are very useful to me. I still prefer the wind charger because carry it with me while running. I lose weight, but I gain power for my phone.

If it is just a keyboard, then it is pricey. However, it can also be used as a power bank to charge our phones when there is no electric outlet. You can also use it as a piano or a guitar, I just don't know how to strum the lights.

As much as I may not fancy playing games on my smartphone, it makes sense (for gamers) to have a separate device solely dedicate to this cause. I believe these won't be very pricey?
Lionel
If the phone is very pricey, then I would understand because the specs of the phone should be higher than the regular phones in order to accommodate the minimum requirements of games to play them.

The law of supply and demand is what Apple is applying here. I think the manufacturing delay was planned, so that there won't be enough supply for the demand so the price will go up.
