Samsung doesn't do their own chip design and qualcom has no incentive to create better chips so it wont change until one of those two things change.

he literally so bitter at apple that he's spiting himself by using a terrible phone. this is a guy who forbade his kids from having an iPod and tried to stop his wife from using an iPhone but she told him to piss off.

the iPhone is actually really bad. android is pretty bad too, but in different ways and also some of the same ways.

re: new google pixel

it has no headphone jack. You also don't get headphones in the box. You get the dongle though.

goog wants to copy the dongle strat but doesn't get that they're supposed to be sold separately

bluetooth originally only had low-quality headset

then they got high quality audio when they added a2dp (rear end 2 dick protocol)

airpods have high-quality two-way when you use them with a modern iphone but fall back to headset mode with basically anything else

a2dp is trash and lol if airpods don't even support it.

wouldn't you do a2dp and hsp or w/e the headset one is at the same time? that's how every headset I've ever used did it in the past.

“my iPhone is tooootally slower after the new iOS update :supaburn: Apple is loving us again :argh: planned obsolescence!!! :argh:

meanwhile android phones stop getting updates within a few months of release (18 months if you’re lucky) and often the hardware physically stops working within a year.

most people would rather have working phones than updates that don't work

My pixel 1 reboots 3 times a day for no reason after the latest update. Thats up from 1 time a day previously. I'm replacing this piece of poo poo with whatever the best iPhone is in a few months. I have spent way too long suffering from the effects of DYP brain worms I got when picking my first smart phone in college.

Best pixel feature? After a reboot your alarms aren't active until you open the app that set them. If your phone reboots in the middle of the night then gently caress you.

its a bummer there aren't any good phones now that winphone is dead.

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.

a small upper and lower bezel would hide the cameras, remove the stupid curved corners, and make the swipe up gestures work better.
