I’m really confused by the use of yo’ over your in this headline.

You’re not entirely wrong, both of those features have been specifically called out as sensitive to vibrations and more prone to failure. Some lenses, such as front-facing camera on most laptops and older iPhones, are fixed lenses that don’t move at all — so yes some of them work that way!

Np. I wish they'd have just used 'your' instead of 'yo', but I can respect the intent lmao.

Oh thank you. Makes sense. English isn’t my first language but I’m mostly fluent. Things like that sometimes escape me

Yo, as in short hand for your bike, to facilitate the bit of wordplay between to and snow (turn yo bike into a snow bike).

The fact that phones don't lay flat is a crime. Why not just make it first with a bigger battery?

I know with my 13 I can barely get a connection with the flat surface charger in my car. I’ve heard other drivers complain about it being impossible with the 14.
But regardless, the core issue in every scenario is the bump.

Is it called a yo bike? I read the article. Still confused.

Nah. Flat surfaces like cars and built-in chargers work fine. Where I have the most issues is with mid-sized tabletop chargers. The distance between the phone and the charging pad isn’t the problem, the problem is that the camera bump tends to catch on the sides of the charger or falls over the side (depending on the design), leaving the phone too far out of alignment to charge effectively or even to be detected properly to start charging.

Sounds like 10 year old problems to me. I had more problems with Samsung phones and TVs.

I thought LG got out of the cell phone game.

As someone who had to go through their runaround twice - once for the boot loop issue and once for their Nexus digitizer that was under enough tension it sometimes broke in people's pockets - consider yourself one of the lucky ones.

Seems vastly inferior to walking. As opposed to an actual bike, you dont have the advantage of the wheel (and reduced friction because of rolling)

I care only because it's hard to find one that has good slow motion, and a macro lense in one package. I care now about those than another 5Mp on the main camera or a zoom

Haha I also remember having to bake my motherboard, family thought I was crazy putting my phone's insides into the oven. Surprised it worked.
I really miss the phone. Fingerprint placement on the back was nice

Supposedly the iPhone 14 can’t charge on most qi chargers because the bump keeps the coils too far away. It’ll work with a small puck or MagSafe, but bigger mats like you’d find in a car or those built into a table are just useless for the latest iPhones.
I am so done with the “bigger bump” fad. Rumors are the next iPhone will use a periscope design, where the camera lenses face the side of the phone, but use a mirror to see out the back. I hope this will solve the bump problem, but I have my doubts. It needs to end.

LG closed their phone division. They just make parts for phones now.
