Maybe I’ll have to re-enable vinegar. I preferred 1blocker because vinegar tended to not have chapters and lose my place when swapping devices.

It took fourteen generations and a European court order but I think I'm getting one of these next september? The USB-C port, google fi, the global SOS, the privacy poo poo, mocap, actually getting updates after three years... it's kind of added up.

So I’m not married to a @gmail.com address or anything. I don’t even mind the lighting port since I have an iPad 9 with lighting port.

POCKET CHOMP posted:holy poo poo guys the iphone 13 is out in finland Inner Light posted:Do they have remote money transferring capability and postal mail in Finland EL BROMANCE posted:Some context in your post about why you are excited that an old phone is for sale in Finland might have helped. Is it normal that you guys run two years behind or something? Pretty sure he means it’s on sale, as in has a limited time promotional discount, instead of for sale. Since he’s in Finland I’m assuming English isn’t his primary language, and it makes sense that a non-native speaker might get something like “for sale” and “on sale” mixed up. Also seems the sale being mentioned is only going on in brick & mortar stores in specific cities, so he’s not able to get it at the discount without traveling to do so.

I’m going to die on this hill so I asked chatgpt what “for sale” means: The term “for sale” refers to an item, product, or property that is available to be purchased by a potential buyer. When something is for sale, it means that the owner or seller is willing to exchange the item for a certain amount of money or other agreed-upon terms of payment. The phrase “for sale” is commonly used in advertising and commerce to indicate that an item is on the market and open to negotiation or purchase.

The actual price of an iPhone 13 here 769€ since I couldn't get it at the 699€ discounted price. So 769€ vs 799€  I went and bought a iPhone 14 now, black, because my Spigen case will be black. It transferred some data off my iPad first, then I'm doing the move to iOS app thing with data from Android to iPhone. We'll see how it works.I never thought I'd even think about going Apple, but Android tablet space was so dire I ended up buying the 9th gen iPad. Next Google ends up killing some *more* services I liked so I guess it's just better to de-googlefy everything now  As a bonus my Oneplus 9 Pro was stretching my breast pockets to the limit. Iphone 14 will fit in much easier because it's like 2cm shorter. Also goddamn Oneplus 9 pro has a bad camera. Maybe I should not comapre it to my Lumix S1 & S-Pro lenses but yuck  I don't even want to talk about the update situation over at Android/Oneplus side...

How can all switching, loading and scrolling be so much faster. Also feels like apps stay “open” in background forever. I can scroll 20 apps back and it switches instantly. Some apps which took 5+ secs to boot up on Oneplus 9 pro take like 1s on iPhone 14. Are Android programmers bad, is Oneplus making bad android forks, are Snapdragons slow or what. The difference is incredible. Alarm clock sucks though and setting your own ringtones is an hilariously bad experience. At least starting from iOS 16 you can see the battery percentage. Keyboard is nice. It’s not on the bottom of the screen so it’s much nicer to use than gboard. Charging is quite fast with my Oneplus charger. Not as fast as with Oneplus, but not terrible. Dynamic island would be nice, but the Pro is too big and too expensive. Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Apr 4, 2023 |

With Android it’s hundreds of different phones, lots of different forks of Android, whatever weird customisations users have made, etc. I guess it’s the same reason why the same game might run smooth and load fast on a ps5 but run like poo poo on a pc. And yes coming from Android myself, the ringtone thing is the worst part of moving to iOS by far. That, and not having multiple timers possible.

Google has a pretty bad track record of not rolling out obvious feature updates to their apps either. You still can’t mute specific conversations in the Google Voice app on iOS.

There’ll be architectural stuff ginned up in 2006 that iOS is probably still having to work around I’m guessing. But also iOS having been a going concern for so long will affect the malleability of some things on the corpo side too.

By comparison my 9 year old macbook air still runs great on the latest OSX update, while my XR which was only 4 years old was increasingly slower and buggier with every update I installed. I don't know if Apple actually plans obsolescence in some mustache twirling way, but I think their care for older hardware users is basically "gently caress em" as they release the new versions of iOS they push out. I was loving around with my 14 and I was like "wow this is so fast and polished" before I remembered that was exactly how my XR was until about a year ago.

I never had problems with the latest iOS on my XR 256GB using it last year until I got a new 14 in November. The weather app is bugging lately though, it seemed to work when I added my location as a favorite as it was showing Cupertino and New York just fine. Erased those and added local cities and it worked although my actual location varied from the favorite of the same.
