    You’re just limiting yourself for no reason. Don’t forget that devices tend to get slower the more full they are and not to mention your phone is using up cycles to aggressively manage internal cache. Also, the more things you have cached on your phone again is better because it doesn’t have to use resources to do work again and again.

    I just checked my phone and 14 gb is used by “Temporary System Files”, whatever the hell that is but it sounds like cache is the primary use. That is not even counting the 10 GB used by Android. So it sounds like Android wants to cache as much stuff as possible.

    You say “marketing person” or “marketing quote” as if that means nothing - reporting factual information from them is standard practice in all news. Maybe there should be literally nothing posted by any news website in the world then?

    In fact, why even post reviews? Obviously nobody wants marketing fluff like “phone has 12GB RAM”, those damn capitalist corporations are faking that too, there’s only one person in this world who’s woke enough to understand that. These idiots should realise that [phone 2025] is obviously going to be better than [phone 2024]. Maybe those scrubs should realise that before writing a sham of an article.

    So it does quote someone who’s quote you are going to ignore because you don’t like it. Genius, absolutely genius.

    it has no information about whether or not that would be true if they produced their screens at the same scale as Corning or whether they expect production to get cheaper

    Yes because the author is obligated to report this when writing the article by going undercover as a Chinese defector, working up from the factories, becoming CEO of China and then finally putting this information out to public. Who would have thought becoming an Android news reporter requires such sacrifice. No wonder no one wants to work in this field.

    it doesn’t mention anything about literally any of the other brands or any of the the other in-house screen technologies in use.

    It has information on THREE brands with three different technologies attempting to make a change, with information about multiple variables about why they think they can replace Corning. I didn’t realise the author had to create a new Wikipedia before putting this out. Maybe he should’ve started a GoFundMe?

    Trade war makes sense but your first point is utter fucking nonsense and if you had a braincell you would read the article before commenting like a twat. You’re exactly the kind of person who screams fake news before doing any research like those conservative vaccine repelling morons.

    Considering it looks like you need clickbait headlines to operate on a day to day basis, here you go - article CLEARLY states and in house glasses are SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than Gorilla Glass for some manufacturers.
