    [AMA] I'm Dieter Bohn, Executive Editor at The Verge. Ask Me Anything!

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 09:25 AM PST

    Greetings Mobile Accomplishers:

    I'm Dieter, one of the founding editors at The Verge and currently our Executive Editor. I also tweet puns sometimes and typos always over at @backlon.

    I've been reviewing Android and Android phones since the very beginning, with Android on the G1 over at Android Central. Whenever I get called an Apple shill I remind people I founded Android Central. Whenever I get called an Android shill I remind people I founded iMore. I'm obsessed with RCS for some reason? Also the web. Also, yes, webOS.

    I used a Galaxy S20 for most of the year, but recently switched over to a Pixel 5 (There was some OnePlus and Galaxy Z Flip in there for awhile too). I of course also use iPhones -- usually I have two phones on me.

    Anyway I'm fascinated by consumer tech and think that it deserves genuine attention as a category of products that takes part in creating our culture. I also believe that most people are smarter than they're given credit for and shouldn't be talked down to when it comes to tech. When I have the time I make videos in that vein.

    Anyway again, at The Verge I'm still reviewing a ton of stuff, making YouTube videos, and writing a newsletter called Processor -- both about consumer technology. I also co-host The Vergecast along with Nilay Patel.

    I'll be answering questions from 12:30ET to 2:30 ET (give or take). Ask me anything!

    Edit: Here's proof but I forgot the sign sorry. Told you I screw up tweets all the time!

    EDIT 2:30 ET: Okay friends that has been more exhausting than a liveblog but also more fun! I will try to swing back and answer a few more later today, but for now I gotta jet. Thank you EVERYBODY for the discussion, it really has been fun for me!

    Concerns about the rapidly growing app-sizes?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2020 07:58 AM PST

    Is there a reason for this? I recall 64GB being enough until a few years ago. Now I see that fill up incredibly quickly. Even the OS install seems to have grown to android 11 taking almost 13gb on my phone ( I cannot imagine the OS being that large, but it is still ridiculous that 20% of my storage is gone from the get go). I can see some habitual changes that might have lead to 64gb feeling smaller and smaller. I take a lot more photos on my phone and expect to have them there (instead of offloading them into an external hdd). More apps have become "essentials" than they used to (in fact, some services that I used to use via their website have pushed their apps as the primary method to consume/utilize their service).

    I'd love to hear some thoughts on this.

    1. Do you think about app sizes at all before installing new things?
    2. Do you have any preference for services that have a website/ mobile friendly website vs. only allowing access via their apps?
    3. How often do you find yourself needing to manage your phone space (if at all)?
    4. Have you felt the need to upgrade/ or have upgraded based solely on the storage space of the phone?
    5. Should storage management be a programming/engineering responsibility (optimize/ minimize program sizes) or is that the end-users' ?

    (also, if you know some developers/apps that are particularly exceptional in their size/optimization, I'd love to hear about it!)

    Now that we are all using gesture based navigation Android needs an option to hide the status bar for a more immersive experience in apps. Samsung internet app just added this option and it looks fantastic.

    Samsung internet browser just added an option to hide the status bar. It reappears when you scroll up. So you can easily check your time and notifications.

    Everytime I am on a website now I'm admiring the seamless edge-to-edge experience. It looks fantastic and all the apps that are still showing the status bar look cluttered and out of date. I just turned on an option in Nova launcher to hide the status bar.
