Why are iPhones such huge pieces of usable shit?
Is it because of Tim Cuck? I remember back in the day an iPhone used to be worth a shit now they're just a joke.
I'm getting an Android phone as soon as someone buys my iPhone 6 turd on ebay.
Why im on iPhone
>faster than any android phone
>best looking UI
>applications consistent with the system UI
>more practical UI (one layered home-screen/dedicated widget tab/swipe to return/3d touch)
>does everything I need
>just works
>doesnt start to lag progressively with use
>pretty much the best build quality on market
>great camera/screen/SoC/storage
>great design
>software updates for years and years
>almost no depreciation
>more secure/encrypted
>apple isnt interested in selling my data for ad money
>best 1st & 3rd party support
>best apps and dev support
>imessage/Higher social status
Android is not worth the money unless you are really poor.

Of course they would. It's too late now, everyone already knows what an unsecure piece of shit iOS is. I sold my iPhone 6s when the FBI were able to unlock an "encrypted" iPhone.

I'm switching from my galaxy s5 to the new iPhone in September.
Android just doesn't do it for me anymore. I'm ready for something new. Android is admittedly extremely laggy at times and downright unusable every once in a while.

This is a Bayesian problem. Things that cost more money are going to tend to be bought by people with more money to spend. This is generally true regardless of the quality of the product.
I had a 3GS in 2009 when it was the best thing on the market. I got fed up with constantly having to fight Apple to get the phone to do what I wanted it to do, so I bought a Nexus One when it came out and never looked back.
I've been consistently amazed at people being amazed at iOS features that have existed on other platforms for years; everything from voice actions to NFC payments to front-facing cameras to fingerprint sensors. I had people asking me if my Pebble Steel was an "iWatch" for a year and a half.
If you're retarded, rich or just don't give a fuck, the form factor and "just werkz" philosophy (insofar as Apple has deemed what you want it to do acceptable) of iOS might be worthwhile; if you like your technology to do what you tell it to do and not the other way around, then it's way more of a headache than it's worth.

Android isn't nearly as good if you take the stock bloatware distros that come with most locked phones. You're better off on iOS if you don't or can't root/load your own OS images and have the money to burn, unless you buy one of the few models that comes stock, like the Nexus line.

Sure, to an extent. But why do Androidfags deny that most iPhone users are richer?

Because when Apple does it, it just works,

Not really. I like technology. I probably know more about technology then average person, but I dont have to buy an Android because of that. They are simply two different platforms that offer two different experiences. In the end whatever I do on my Android I can do on my iPhone.

I would argue that a lot of shit you aren't "supposed" to do is significantly more difficult on iOS, based on my experience with it and jailbreaking (in particular, how every update would deliberately break jailbreak and you had to plug it into iTunes back in the day), but I gather that's not really relevant for you; you seem to fit into the "dgaf" category that isn't really interested in doing such things anyway.
>why are most droidfags such asspained cunts
Most Androidfags deny that iPhone users are richer because of the tribe mentality that guides most consumer decisions, and at which Apple is particularly good. This tells people that they are better than others for their consumer electronics choices, and engenders deep-seated butthurt as a result, especially on /g/ which is already full of socially maladapted tech elitists. Part of the price gap between iOS and Android is also influenced by this; like the Prius, iOS subtly markets itself as a luxury item and status symbol.
>it just works
This is a major part of Apple's success; their design is much more polished, and they have a way of making even a lack of a feature or flaw seem like a deliberate choice on behalf of the user. They also tend to work better for the average user by restricting them from the smartphone equivalent of installing BonziBuddy. They're an instructive case for any manner of engineer of consumer products: if you have to read the manual to use a feature, most people won't bother with it at all.
FWIW I have a MacBook Pro that I bought used for live music, because I needed a laptop that just werked for the purpose and didn't want to dick around with fucking driver updates and hunting millisecond lags in tough-to-swap laptop parts like I had to do with my desktop.
Aplele can't even keep up with storage lmao. By the time thet release the 256GB iPhone 7, 512GB microsd cards will already be out lmao.

Yes, everyone is unhappy with the amount of storage iPhones have. Apple will go bankrupt soon. What people really want on phones is 500gb of storage, forget everything else.
>>55444278
The one thing on here that is legit is iMessage. It would be extremely useful to have this enabled on Android without having to use a carrier-specific OS image. For instance, I work in large hospitals where cell service is often spotty, and much of the quick communication with my colleagues is via text. Without iMessage we're relegated to third party solutions like WhatsApp, which require any new medical students or residents rotating on the team to download, whereas iOS users can simply send one another SMS and the message gets there whether they have cell signal or not if they're on WiFi.

Reminder that iPhone sales are dropping and mostly trend following teenagers sustain their marketbase.
Iphones break more easily than any of their counterparts. Hell, the iphone 6 and 6s line can be bent simply using your hands.
Now many people are going back for their 3rd or 4th new smartphone upgrade, or to replace the shatter mess their shit high schooler owned for less than a year. Parents and retards are all picking up that Apple makes objectively inferior phones and iTunes is a ball clenching bloat trap.
>>55445367
Apple did actually just post their first quarterly earnings drop in almost a decade last quarter, and their stock had one of its worst days on record. Conventional wisdom in tech investing at this point is that Apple has saturated its target markets and will be seeing a substantial slowdown in revenue growth over the coming years unless it can manage to come out with another device on par in sales with the iPhone and iPad debuts, which the Apple Watch hasn't been. Even the name "Apple Watch" is troubling; the "i-" brand is incredibly valuable, and it's baffling to see Apple simply toss it away.
>>55445401
>Reminder that iPhone sales are dropping and mostly trend following teenagers sustain their marketbase.
Proof?
>>55445382
Nice, show how childish I am by being childish
>>55445417
Not really. The rate of people moving from Android to iPhone is bigger than ever before.
iPhones are selling less simply because users have less incentive to upgrade their phones nowadays.
>>55445367
For real though iPhone sales have been plummeting and normies have lost interest in iPhones. Not saying they are going bankrupt overnight but they need to fire that homosexual CEO and put a normal human being in charge before Apple collapses in on itself.
Investors are getting very worried too. The apple stock has been crashing for a while now and nothing new they've recently released has pulled it back up to the $100+ range.
>>55445450
>normies have lost interest in iPhone
That is what you want to believe.
Just like everything you said in your post.
>>55445421
Im on mobile. Google it.
>>55445448
>The rate
The *number* is; the number of people switching from iPhone to Android has also grown, because more people are using both. Android's installed userbase continues to climb. What you're saying otherwise is pretty much repeating what I said: Apple has saturated its market; its newer models are failing to keep earnings growth rates at their historical levels. Its users weren't always as reticent to upgrade as they are now.
>>55445417
Nice insight
>>55445471
Then explain this chart. Android is getting close to 90% marketshare. It will get there if the iPhone 7 turns out to be a giant flop like bendgate. Apple is literally in danger of being another windows phone fiasco.

>>55445496

Disagree. Most people have one phone rather than 2.
Its not apple that saturated its market, its the smartphone market that is sutured. Pretty much anyone has a phone already.

He has hard stock data to back him up. Apple isn't going to collapse in on itself, but they may well shrink back to being the niche product they were in the late 90s if they don't find a way to continue justifying their price points.
>>55445565
No, I mean that both iOS and Android have more users than before, not necessarily that more people are using both - although that is probably also true.
>>55445609
>niche product they were in the late 90s if they don't find a way to continue justifying their price points.
Not anytime soon in my opinion. iPhone is the phone phone everyone emulates, and most people want to have. IPhones are their own culture now. Most people would probably buy one if they could justify in their budgets.
Not to mention the gateway effect. IPhones are like a gateway drug to Apple, once someone buys one they tend to buy an iPad, a Macbook, an Apple watch etc.
Apple isnt going away anytime soon.
>>55445587
Ask Microsoft.
>>55445587
Platforms need ecosystems to thrive, and ecosystems need market share. Relative percentages aren't necessarily important, but the fewer customers platform reaches, the harder it is to get third party developers to code for it. Apple themselves ran up against this wall and caved in 2006, when they gave up the Mac CPU ghost and started using Intel chips.
>>55445672
>Apple isnt going away anytime soon.
That's literally what they said about Symbian lmao.
>>55445691
But apple has the marketshare that matters. Devs prioritize apple because they actually make money selling apps, unlike android.
And its not small either. In countries like US apple has 50% market share. For a single company that is huge.
>>55445672
>iPhones are their own culture now
Don't bet on the intransigence of such a thing, especially in tech. This is what Motorola said about the Razr in 2007.
>Most people would probably buy one if they could justify in their budgets
This percentage is dropping, actually, which is exactly the problem to which I'm referring.
It would take many years for Apple to degrade back to its 90s self, but business in general is sink-or-swim, and tech in particular is particularly brutal about this. Nobody would have called the trajectory of Blackberry or Nokia in 2006.
>>55445746
>This percentage is dropping, actually
What percentage? iPhone is still the phone that everyone wants to have. You are delusional if you think this isnt true.
The fact that people are buying less phones doesnt change that.
>>55445731
>But apple has the marketshare that matters.
So did Symbian now look at them.
>Devs prioritize apple because they actually make money selling apps, unlike android.
If people start leaving apple do you think money will be made out of thin air if nobody buys anything?
>And its not small either. In countries like US apple has 50% market share. For a single company that is huge.
lmao no they don't. More like 25% at best. However they do have a strong influence in weeabo land, you should have used them as an example itoddler.
>>55445731
Apple does not have 50% market share in the United States. People do tend to spend more on apps on iOS than on Android per capita, but the reason that some devs prioritize iOS is also largely because it's an easier development environment, given the greatly reduced number of different device types that a given program can possibly be expected to run on. Besides, the per capita spending argument also only works as long as installed base stays significant enough to justify the disparity in customers reached.
>>55445804
>So did Symbian now look at them.
Not really comparable.
>If people start leaving apple do you think money will be made out of thin air if nobody buys anything?
Bu nobody is leaving apple
>lmao no they don't. More like 25% at best. However they do have a strong influence in weeabo land, you should have used them as an example itoddler.
ok
Consumerism the thread I understand consumerism on computers you pay for what you get, but who spends 600-1,000 dollars a year on a new phone.
>Inb4 hurr durr I make lots of money you poorfag look he can't afford a thousand a year on a phone
It's not that I can't it is that I'm not so retarded to do it. A phone is a phone if you do anything other than make calls send texts and emails and use it for light entertainment your incredibly stupid. Do you need to spend a thousand dollars every year to do the above things no. I hope all you consumerist shits eat a bag of baby dicks.
>>55445789
>iPhone is still the phone that everyone wants to have.
lolno, most people want to use their phone for torrenting or use them as a flash drive and iPhones can't deliver that no matter how many hundreds of dollars you throw at apple. Yes you can get half baked apps to do those things IF you jailbreak your iPhone leaving it with a huge security exploit russian and chinese hackers will stick their dick in.
It's actually very easy for aplel to gain more marketshare but they're too stubborn to change. All they have to do is add micro sd card support for the iPhone 7, ability to torrent and use the phone as a flash drive (ie MTP) and they will annihilate Android. But they won't. Instead they're digging their own graves.
>>55445884

>>55445789
You're speaking in absolutes. "Everyone" wanting to have any phone is going to be obviously false by definition in any sufficiently large group.
What you're saying is that many people, or even most people, would prefer an iPhone if they could afford it. The degree to which this was ever true is a matter of debate, but isn't relevant to my claim, which only deals with relative change. However, the fact that Apple has continued to lose market share to Android despite explicitly targeting more budget-minded consumers with devices like the 5C makes your claim - that all or even most people would choose Apple devices if they were within their price range - less plausible.
>>55445900
