Forget iPhone 6 Bendgate, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Has A Serious Display Problem

Ben Reid·September 29, 2014

The roll out of the Galaxy Note 4 has been brought forward by Samsung in a somewhat hurried attempt to compete with the unforeseen popularity of Apple's two new iPhones, but in its haste, the Korean outfit may have released some units with a quite significant design issue. As the Tizen maker's Cupertino rival looks to recover from the Bendgate issue, it has emerged that some Note 4 users have discovered quite a large gap between the display and the outer frame - sizeable enough to fit a business card or a couple of sheets of paper - and given the asking price of the latest installment to the iconic phablet series, it's not exactly the kind of build quality that said users would've expected.

Not only will it correct your sentences within the context of what you've written before - unlike Auto-correct for the most part - but it'll also have a pretty good pop at guessing the next word in your sequence. One cartoonist thought it would be interesting / entertaining to see whether iOS 8's new keyboard could pick up on famous movie quotes using predictive text, and while it didn't exactly come up trumps, it did produce some quite hilarious alternatives.

But the GIF isn't the only file type supportive of animation, and although the Animated Portable Network Graphic, or APNG, was assumed to be dying out, Safari for iOS 8 actually supports APNGs as standard. What's more, those using a beta or Developer Preview of OS X 10.10 Yosemite will also be able to indulge, and although both of Apple's new pieces of software have been inundated with new features, this is one that we certainly did not foresee.
