The number 5 point tho.

Most people still don't understand that's why they masturbate whenever any of these Chinese OEMs release 20+ MP.

But Samsung and iPhone be sticking to 12-16MP.

You are very correct except for the no1, MAC PCs and other Device were built with encrypted end to end users security which make it most difficult for hackers to get into you secured files on the device, unlike other Android phones, either you turn on your location or not, you can Always be traced but as for IOS its relatively impossible to trace and many other more points I can't itemize here

Good morning

All my fellow Jobless people.

It go better.

Nice write up. Even if I did not read the article, JohnQueen has explained everything.

That's why you're still jobless. I mean because you can't read.

1. APPLE LAPTOPS ARE THE BEST FOR PROGRAMMING /MACS ARE BETTER THAN THE PCS: Macs are just swag, and programmers like to carry them just for the trend of it. We’ve attached the higher price of Mac to mean higher quality. However, there’s no data backing the fact that an Apple MacBook is better for programming, and don’t try to pull the no-virus card → . Definitely, there are Macs that are better than some PCs but the case is also vice versa.

2.UPDATES MAKES YOUR PHONE FASTER
Nothing could be further from the truth. A patch for a bug fix or to clear up a security issue will help your device protected nonetheless. But OS and frequent app updates creates heavier apps that require powerful hardware compatibility. That’s the reason your phone gets slower.
Just update the necessary apps, and help your phone for optimized performance. You’ll be amazed by the results.

3.FREE WI-FI
Your information and usage is the price you pay, hence it’s not free. When unencrypted, the whole network could be compromised leading to snooping your private information and monitor all your activities especially to steal your online banking details like internet banking, Amazon wallet and pay-pal free Wi-Fi is the best bet.
It can not only be monitored by the hotspot provider but also for everyone within the Wi-Fi range. So an eavesdropper can position himself between you and the hotspot. Once the eavesdropper has your information, he can — at his leisure — access your systems as if he were you.

4.PRIVATE /INCOGNITO BROWSING KEEPS YOU ANONYMOUS -There’s a misconception that “incognito” and “private” are synonymous with anonymous. If you’re using Incognito Mode in Google Chrome or Private browsing in Safari, it simply means the browser won’t keep track of your history, import your bookmarks, or automatically log into any of your accounts. Basically, it's good for keeping other people who use your computer from seeing what you've been doing. But it won’t keep your identity hidden from the sites you visit or your ISP — so keep that in mind if you’re visiting sites you shouldn’t be.

5 MORE MEGAPIXELS ALWAYS MEANS A BETTER CAMERA
What’s the difference between 12 megapixel cameras and 8 megapixel cameras? Not much, as it turns out. The quality of an image is determined in large part by how much light the sensor is able to take in. Bigger sensors may come with larger pixels, and the larger the pixel the more light it can absorb. So, it’s really the size of the pixels that matter as much or more than the sheer number of pixels. (A megapixel is simply shorthand for a million pixels.)

Chie!if Tecno and itel + others see u them go break ur head o!

Oga, he's talking about Mac OS not iOS.
Yes iOS is more secure than Android but even then it still gets hacked and exploited, as for MAC it gets hacked less because it's less common than Windows, Windows isn't only common amongst the average consumer but it is also the goto enterprise OS, from banks to governments they all use Windows, while MACs are used mostly by creative professionals like people in the movie making field.
As for programmers, they favor Linux more.

Now I know that more megapixel doesn't equate to a better camera.

Re: 5 Biggest Technology Myths by Neoteny(m): 6:58am On Jun 13, 2018
The last one. The postprocessing software matters as much as, if not better than, pixel sizes. This is what makes Google Pixel phones (despite the name) absolute photography beasts.

All the sensor sizes cannot overcome poor camera software.
Re: 5 Biggest Technology Myths by Williamso(m): 7:01am On Jun 13, 2018
By this time 2 years ago, I would have strongly agreed with your number 1. Now I have to strongly disagree.

It's not about swag, Macs are better for programming than Windows-based PCs... This doesn't necessarily mean they are better at everything though

Not true, you can easily hide from any site with the help of (RDP) Remote Desktop Program, if you're not mobile there are lots of them u can use E.G HMA
