it should be noted that youre looking at a specific subset of android users which is the group only interested in price

this group cares mostly about specs because its not like they can afford to shop based on how good an experience the device gives the user so they have to get the best crappy experience their $200 can buy and at that pricepoint some things like ram and software variant matter more than others

they dont mention the iphones performance for the same reason they dont mention the pixels or the galaxy s9 which is they cant afford one so it doesnt matter

lol, i resemble this post but at the same time uh i have a use case for my droid phone and one for my iphone so eh

the OG iPad Air i use for work is still usable. it lags a little for some operations and when you switch apps, but other than that it's fine

i'm still loving my ipad mini 1

it's a good reader and i mean when i first got it i thought tablet form was trash but a few hours later i was like, future information appliance!

are you really trying to dunk on some minor feature because one os had it before another one did

i think it's important to realize that in these trying times we can all agree that your operating system is a piece of poo poo

(my beloved ipad mini chose to push an update while i was dling a big fat app and had it plugged in which threw my keychain in the river, for example)

so finally switching back to ios

impressions on android adventure, you can deffo _make_ the phone work

but not well

seeing that an iphone xr _only_ has 3 gigerbits one might think the eight processor 4gb phone i had would have been slick as poo poo in comparison but no of course not, the burden of android and all the 3rd party apps to make it approximate an iphone means that things like apps _and_ phone calls can lead to lag that does not inspire confidence

using ios everything works right with no slowdown, you can put malwarebytes or somesuch on it if you want

looking at what apps on my old homescreen are "missing" on good phone, a bunch of patchwork shite that is no longer necessary

i suppose i am the weird one for wanting to see someone passionately advocate over something meaningless but what can i say i like it. if someone wants to write a hundred words on why a front camera is unnecessary i want to see it

There is already a camera on the other side, often two.

the notch obscures stuff all the time and its totally unforgivable. there should be a small bezel on the top and bottom both to eliminate the notch, improve the swipe up gesture, and square off the screen.
