Usage: AnandTech no longer serves this article to anything but a browser, so the fetched address is a Wayback capture of 20 December 2013 taken in `id_` mode, which returns the bytes as published without the archive's own navigation. The archive is the custodian; the author is the publisher, and the tier is decided by who wrote the piece. Written two years after the phone shipped, about the machine it replaced.
