LethalGeek posted:Im honestly surprised to hear this as all I ever hear about is iPhones failing to sync at random and then you've had two patches for iOS that cause email attachments to get scrambled for no good reason when forwarded from an iPhone. Meanwhile I never hear a peep out of the Android people. Microsoft actually has a vested interest in making sure Exchange works on Android, so they have a perfectly-fine solution in the Outlook for Android app. Which I guess doesn't meet the encryption requirements of some places of business (because again Google doesn't wanna play ball), but if your job isn't a douche it's fine.

loquacius posted:Yeah that's why I'm still salty about it, I think. Take game consoles, they're also a stable duopoly. But whenever a game console maker makes an unpopular choice and figures that its fans are loyal enough that they'll stick around anyway, everyone just buys the other console and a valuable lesson is learned (ex: the PS3, the Xbone). But that doesn't apply to Apple, because Apple's fans will put up with anything. There's gotta be some kind of time limit on this though. Like imagine if they started just reaallly dropping the ball in a consequential and noticeable way and didn't stop for like a decade- would that erode their fanclub at all? Also have they given a non-bullshit answer as to why they dropped the jack yet?

I just know I hated touchdown and having to authenticate twice to read email or check my calendar Touchdown is/was a piece of garbage, Android got native Exchange support in the default email program after..idk 4.1? Does all the security things without having to do it twice like you're describing. But that time period totally existed and totally sucked.

notZaar posted:Honestly when do you ever have the headphones on while you're charging? You don't listen to your music through the computer? Yeah what kind of crazy and impossible situation would you have to find yourself in to want to use headphones AND charge your phone at the same time? Besides of course when you're using GPS in your car and headphones on a call because cars are noisy and you want to be able to use both hands to drive, and you need the phone on a charger because GPS + phone calls use more battery power than Hillary Clinton's metal vibrator that fell out of her big wet pussy onto the street. Or literally any situation where you want to use that fancy screen while also having a conversation you want to hear better or don't want the rest of the world to hear.

John Denver Hoxha posted:those sound like situations for poors Well obviously, a non-poor would just have their man servant bring one of the 20 backup iphones when the battery runs dry. Not that that would ever happen to a non-poor since something like using GPS personally, listening to recorded music or actually interacting with the internet would obviously be below their stature.

Who the gently caress is Apple making their phones thinner for? Why is thinness the number 1 priority? Who gives a poo poo? Yay my phone will now bend in my pocket or if it's out of my pocket and I look at it funny. Then again, it's Apple fans we're talking about here.

We want everything to be wireless It's all about what Apple wants, and they don't even try to pretend it benefits the buyer in any way.
