I strongly disliked my Pixel 4XL, so I decided to give iPhone a try. Used an iPhone 12 for about a year and a half before going back to Android. It was fine. iPhone had much better battery life than any Android I have used, and FaceTime was nice. But I stil prefer Android's way of handling cached audio apps, notifications, and some other quality of life stuff. Also, I will always prefer a fingerprint reader over face unlock, but I think I might be the weirdo on that one. Anyways, that's my lazy review. Not enough differences between them worth getting worked up about.

It wasn't just an ipod, they pushed the U2 album to every device with iTunes on it and then you couldn't delete it, as part of a marketing gimmick to do the 'largest album release of all time'. They only added the option to delete it a week later after everyone was super pissed lol

Waltzing Along posted:I mean seriously. It sucks poo poo. Just super LOL at anyone who actively chooses an iphone over an android.   Too right!And anything manufactured by Apple is way too expensive. And what about Apple's (getting) infamous lack of servicability in their newer devices? The anti-competitive filthy swine now include serial numbers in the firmware of most parts (e.g. LCD screens), and by design the phone/pad firmware refuses to let anyone except Apple-trained Apple-verified service outlets ( who charge $$$$$$$$$$$$$$) replace parts even with the exactsame model Apple parts, because service personnel now must use a special servicing device manufactured by loving Apple costing $$$$$$$$$$ which 'allows" part replacement. That's loving criminal, or should be (it's actually prompting new serviceability regulations in some U.S. states!) so I hope they go out of business as quickky as is reasonably possible, the slimy cheating profiteering environmentally destructive loving scumbags. But to be fair, noobs with too much money who don't have what it takes to read a manual, experiment with their device a bit, or occasionally google how to do stuff on an Android phone/pad can probably only deal with iPads and iPhones etc., so I don't resent those sad seriously tech-challenged types (much). But they probably deserve all the reaming Apple Corp. will continue to give them. BigBadSteve fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Aug 22, 2022 |

It's not 2010 anymore they're now a nuisance more than anything my phone is a helpful and entertaining device that rarely bothers me because i turn off notifications outside work hours and for calls from unknown numbers. not really sure what you think is a nuisance on your phone but you could try deleting or silencing it instead of letting it eat away at you until we get yet another green bubble linked mass shooting.

My last journey with android, I liked the OS a lot, but every app seemed to be a less polished version of iOS, so I just gave up and stuck with my iphone. I dunno, they're overpriced and all that, but it takes nice pictures and does everything I need it to. I'm trying to spend less time on my phone anyways, to varying degrees of success. I guess what I'm saying OP is get outside, go on a hike, and stop worry about which corporation you're more loyal to.

If you think iphone is a piece of poo poo when it comes to transferring files, just wait till you try to actually publish apps on it. You literally cannot do it without a loving mac and the nonsense they call xcode, and it's a nightmare of certificates for every step and they always expired yesterday. And then you need the special uploading software and gotta have icons in 250 different resolutions, an endless stream of bullshit

Don't worry, I got your back, op. It's you and me against the world. I had an iPod Nano and an iPhone 5 back in the day, and it absolutely sucked trying to sync my meticulously curated mp3 collection with buggy as gently caress iTunes on a Windows machine. Switched to a Cowon player and an Android phone and never had any trouble with it. The Real Amethyst posted:Apple users are in the same boat as Tesla fanboys in my eyes. This. If you're making a mass market product "for everyone" and can't be hosed to adopt cross-platform standards then eat poo poo. It's a money-grubbing con game run by control freaks trying to corral you into their walled garden in order to extract more cash. The result is a neverending, pissy slapfight perpetuated by the poor saps who fell for the grift, and who can't help but white knight for the company that bamboozled them in an attempt to save face. This is what Zuck has been doing with Facebook and is trying to build with Meta, so add him to the list. We already have VR and online/VR communities, but he's walling off a section for himself so he can hook the milking machine up to your big, squishy teats. He's just not as good at the grift as Steve Jobs, Tim Apple, or Elon Musk.

Waffle House posted:*sits down, sweating, overwhelmed in jedi robes* Honestly it's more impressive apple hasn't fixed this in 15 years. The complaint is as valid as it's ever been. I have a large digital collection of music and it's surprisingly annoying getting access to it on an iphone. I've previously only had android but a couple years ago when my wife was getting a new phone (she likes apple stuff so it sort of makes sense for her to use their phone cause it convenient syncs with everything else she has) they had a bogo deal so it's like sure why not I'll take a free thousand dollar phone to see what the hype is about. I've basically spent 3 years regretting that decision. I mean a lot of the day to day functionality is fine but whenever I want to do something niche like say, connect my phone to a computer and be able to move files back and forth normally and you just can't for some reason it boggles my mind. I remember one time many moons ago my pc poo poo itself and in the process of fixing it by wiping everything and doing a fresh install I had to update drivers for it's ethernet card, but obviously I couldn't get the drivers on the computer because it couldn't connect to the internet until the drivers were updated, my solution was to just download the drivers on my phone then transfer the files from my phone to my computer that way, couldn't do that now, whoops.
