Based Apple.
How many Android phones/tablets from 2011 or earlier are out there running Marshmellow?
>still runs latest official software
Barely.
>>53738093
And I'd say, how many of them are running Android 6.0 without lagging. That's the only thing that iPhones are good at.
And no, /g/, I don't own any Apple product. Keep calm.
>>53738121
iOS9 runs nice and smooth, unlike iOS8 which was an unoptimized piece of shit.
>>53738148
so you say that I should update my iPhone 4s to ios9? I still have 8.

HP Touchpad masterrace

>>53738148
Bull fucking shit, it was a lateral move on my 4S.
>>53738093
This isn't a good thing, dickhead. The last version of iOS the 4S should be running is 7, everything else is laggy shit.
>>53738148
Yeah, runs nice and smooth until you click a link and then it crashes :^)

>tfw I sold my iPhone 5 from 2012 for $200 USD in 2016
Meanwhile, most Android phones from the era wouldn't even retain even half of that value.
>>53738235
yes girl. 8 is poop tier in 4S
>>53738319
But that's false. It has to do with iphone shitting itself on javascript.
And no, saying 'LOL NONFREE JAVASCRIPT PIZZAS XD' is not a response.
>>53738393
yeah, i'm always amazed by the resale value of iphones (and macbooks). it's like no matter how ild and crappy they are poeple are willing to oay good money just to have an iphone (or a laptop with an apple logo)

Yes, that's pretty much the only thing that it does. It runs so goddamn horrible that you just want to throw the phone against the nearest wall. My girlfriend is still using that piece of shit and the time it takes to get something done is absurd.
I don't have to mention that she has to charge it up to 3 times a day.
>>53738557
>she has to charge it up to 3 times a day.
Buy a new fucking battery for $3.
Also, turn off all the bullshit settings like background refresh and location tracking stuff, runs much smoother after that.

I got off the Apple train after they ruined my 2nd and 3rd gen iphones
>>53738557
my mom has one, i always update her shit when i see her and it runs buttery smooth. your gf is probably just a dumb cunt who has every possible battery draining feature turned on in the settings.
>>53738598
I refuse to do anything for that old piece of shit, it's just no longer usable, unless it's the only phone you've used and you don't know better. I'm waiting for the SE to come out, so I can give it to her and she can stop torturing herself with that hell-machine.
Apple can be held responsible for neutering iphones with OS updates?
Of all the things i thought they'd protect themselves from.
I iPhone 4s runs ios9 pretty fucking well, no lag, but it is obviously not as fast as it was when I first bought it. Still I love my shitty iPhone 4s.
>>53738093
just wait for pajeet to hack something up.
>>53738705
As far as I know, only phones up to the 4S, are currently suffering from this. But let's just be realistic here, the 4S is 5 years and. Nobody in their right mind can expect a smartphone to run the latest software flawlessly for such a long time. 5 years in smartphone time are light year leaps in terms of performance and battery life.
>>53738257
So you're saying your cheapo tablet from 2011 runs Android 6? Slim chance.
Okay, lets turn the easy mode on: can anybody name even one pre-2012 Android device running Android 5/5.1?
>>53738762
the fact is that no sane person would even touch an android phone from 2011. the fact that this phone is still pretty functional, runs most apps on the app store and is being supported abd talked about proves what an amazing device it is.
>>53738809
why 5? it should be running 6 (marshmallow)
>>53738884
Thats why its called easy mode. Still, I highly doubt that somebody could name one.
>>53738860
What the fuck are you talking about? There are multiple posts in this thread saying the performance is now shit. There's a class action lawsuit against Apple because a bunch of people are pissed that Apple forces updates on them, claims they'll have better performance, then gives them no option to go back.
I can pick up my SGS2 or SGS3 and install an old version of Android on either and they'll function as a communication device. Obviously, I wouldn't expect them to run every current app, but they'd make calls, texts, take picures, and navigate with maps just fine.
The 4S doesn't have that option. Once you update, you're done.
>>53738809
Yes. You obviously don't know anything about the history of the HP Touchpad. There is been some form of Marshmallow since November.

>Even the complete lack of software updates is somehow a good thing now!
Typical apologetic Android user
>>53738093
This tbqh senpai
There are even devices from 2015 that do not run Marshmellow.
I'm still using it with iOS7, and it runs pretty smoothly. Sure it has little ram so you can't do much without apps reloading again, particularly facebook messenger.
It's noot as good as with 6, but oh well (I'm still mad that apple decided not to release a ios6 version with goto fail patched for phones that could upgrade to 7)
>>53738762
>Nobody in their right mind can expect a smartphone to run the latest software flawlessly for such a long time
Why not? We certainly expect that for laptops and desktops. The fact that this happens with current phones doesn't mean that we should be ok with that.
Look at it. What a fucking beaut. God tier phone, never going to buy a new one.
>>53738959
yes it does. an iphone 4s, today, running ios 9.3, would have no problem calling, texting, surfing the web (lightly, but then again when it was released it could handle 8 tabs), taking pictures, etc. just watch a fucking video on youtube. this whole apple ruining phones by updates is a complete meme. yes, they may run a little slower, but they are still getting new features and security updates. unlike android phones which are dropped from getting updates in most cases in two years. they may run some barebones custom rom but the manufacturer doesn't see their two or one year old phones worthy of getting updated to the new version of its operating system, which is another plus for apple. your memory of a samsung galaxy s2 is pretty blurry if you think it can compare in anyway to today's android phone, specially cuz in those days even flagship android phones lagged like crazy and where horrible to handle while iphones were smooth as fuck
>>53738093
Runs so poorly apple is getting sued :^)
>>53739012
Laptops and desktops haven't really gone anywhere in the last 5 years save for power usage, my 7 year old i7 is perfectly capable today

>>53739002
this desu, android users talking about ios updates is hilarious becuase if your lucky your phone will get updated twice (about 6 months after google updates the OS, and if your manufacturer and carrier are in a good mood) and from then on they're at the wim of some indian teenagers on some forum to see if they'll see some barely working ROM of the new android version. meanwhile ios users get the updates, all at the same time, for at least four years (which is more than the logical lifespan of an smartphone)
>>53739024
it felt so good in your hands, and the glass fron and back and metal frame were like design perfection. never will there be a better designed phone
>>53738998
I can install Android 6.0 on an SGS2. I CAN do that, it doesn't necessarily mean I should.
This is such a shit argument. I prefer it when phones and tablets don't get upgrades at some point. It's been happening forever. Even the iPhone 3G got an upgrade to OS 4, two years after release, that ruined it. The 4 got an upgrade to iOS 7 that ruined it.
Basically with any mobile device you can safely install one OS upgrade. At least with most Android phones, you don't even have the option of upgrading too much and wrecking your phone. And if you do, with android it's at least possible to roll back.
>>53739168
My Nexus 5 came with Kit Kat, it's running Marshmallow now perfectly
>>53739146

I mean, if you want to pretend CyanogenMod doesn't exist, you're free to do that, but you're not convincing anyone else.
>>53739193
that was released in 2013 tho, see in two years how well it runs Android 8 (Oreo)
>>53738093
>>53739250
i don't see why we should consider unofficial roms and stuff here, we're talking about the official support smartphones get from manufacturers
>>53738967
Well technically that is not an Android device. It's a WebOS device that some Pajeet made to run his unofficial Android ROM.
>>53739167
Do it, just to prove us wrong. I highly doubt though that it would be even remotely usable.
>>53739250
I have to void my warranty just to update my phone, gotcha.
>>53739265
Better than those iPhones that were rendered useless in 2 years
>>53739317
At that point your warranty probably already expired
>>53739311
>implying apple isnt chock full of pajeets
>>53739344
Not if you bought your phone by Q3.
>>53739321
Never heard of those. At least iPhone 3GS and all the newer iPhones have always been usable after their official OS updates.
>>53739321
iphone 5s was released in 2013, three years ago. runs completely perfect on ios 9, can handle anything an iphone 6s can handle, and handles better than most android phones released in 2016. try harder
>>53738093
Calling the 4s "running" the latest iOS is like saying you can install Windows 10 on a Pentium 2 and it "works".
>>53739359
You must have a different definition of usable
>>53739297
Just because there are no longer official updates, it still doesn't mean that you cannot run the latest software. My old Galaxy S3 runs CM13 like a charm.
>>53739372
Good joke, I've seen many 5S' just crash and stutter when trying to do basic things like open Snapchat after 2 years of use
>>53739395

Literally nobody said that until you, just now. That's called moving the goalposts. Disqualifying custom ROMs because they're not official is fucking retarded when talking about open source software. You might as well pretend that Unix operating systems don't exist (oops, there goes OSX and half the internet).
Seriously, don't be fucking retarded. If I can install a modified OS on my device, it counts, even if you're too pleb to figure it out for yourself.
>>53739311
>remotely usable
Jesus christ, I said that just because I can do it, doesn't mean I should. The point is that I can make that choice. I can also revert it if, as you say, it isn't usable. Apple users aren't afforded this luxury, and it's absurd. It baffles me that this flaw is pointed out, and for some reason you decide to shit on Android devices instead of saying "Hey, Apple, fuck off with this software bullshit, ok?"
Why is /g/ suddenly so pro Apple? What happened in the 3 years I was on other boards?
>>53739467
i do aknowledge your point that users should be able to rollback to an earlier version of ios if the want to. seems like it should be their choice not apple's.
bit i don't agree with the general idea that ios 9 on 4s (or any iphone on newere ios) is some unusable mess that will make your phone completely useless. i've had personal experience with it and it's fine. it's nearly 5 years old, i don't expect it to do the things a new phone does, but it's still ok to use.
>>53739467
>Literally nobody said that until you, just now. That's called moving the goalposts. Disqualifying custom ROMs because they're not official is fucking retarded when talking about open source software.
What the fuck are you even talking about m8?

Because apple actually offers competitive machines, anyone denying it, is an idiot. Call it overpriced, but you can't call it shit. Price performance ratio is something different, but most people buying said products, don't care about that.

Very smooth. No problems at all. I haven't installed 9.3 yet, though.

>>53739741
Yeah, I think I'll be sticking with 9.2.1.
I could honestly use this for another few years -- the only problem I'd encounter would be specialised apps needing iOS 10, 11, 12, etc.
The camera still holds up very well even in comparison to the 6S. I don't think there's ever been such an enduing phone -- it's also the best looking phone Apple ever made.
>>53739678
>pays for itself
I'd rather just get a well made car instead of that abomination that has 1 engine lug around the other depending in how you're driving

>>53739623
Well, I just watched a video of an iPhone 4 (Apple A4, single core) on iOS7 shitting on a 4S (A5 dual core) on iOS9. That is, the slower hardware ran its older OS significantly faster than the new stuff.
Stop being brainwashed. Apple has no secret sauce.
>>53739825
link?
>>53739804
>The camera still holds up very well even in comparison to the 6S.
That's actually true. The 4 -> 4S was the last significant bump in camera quality, honestly. Everything that changed since then are low light performance (which is largely due to the algorithms used). In good lighting I even think that the iPhone 5's photos look best of all iPhones. The newer ones have this weird water color effect added.
>>53739815
I have no idea what your talking about. I drive the prius mainly because of it's low fuel consumption and because I'm forced to drive in town a lot. It already paid itself off with just gas alone. I couldn't care any less about all that prius stigma tho.
>>53739868
>>53739886
>The 4 -> 4S was the last significant bump in camera quality, honestly.
Indeed. So glad I went with a 4S rather than a second-hand 4 back in 2011. A guy nearly convinced me the cameras were the same.
>The newer ones have this weird water color effect added.
Probably similar to anti-digital noise algorithms Samsung uses. You could always try another app that doesn't process the photos after they're taken.
>>53739899
When the electric motor is being used, it has to lug around the gas engine, when the gas engine is being used it has to lug around the electric motor
It's far less efficient than something like a series hybrid where the gas engine acts like a generator for the electrically driven wheels in the Chevrolet Volt
Or where the electric motor assists the gas engine like in the original Honda Insight, that damn thing got 70 mpg in 1999

>>53739934
>You could always try another app that doesn't process the photos after they're taken.
I wish something like that existed. I'm not even sure whether it's possible to get images from the camera without noise filtering using Apple's API.
I really don't see the appeal of noise filtering, I always liked how grainy photos looked.
>>53739991

4s on 9.1 here, runs flawlessly. I'd go 9.3 but no jailbreak yet.
I like the smaller phone because it fut in my pocket, and I don't play games so no real need for a big screen.
Been a damn good phone so far. The 5, 5s and SE aren't worth the upgrade for me desu. The 6s is appealing, but the 7 will be out in 6 months, so i'll wait and see.
I would agree not many phones this old are still going, or running the newest software.
nobody uses a 5 year old android phone, it's not worth the effort to update Pajeet's phone
and why are you using a 5 year old phone anyways, I thought apple users were supposed to be wealthy?
>>53742774
Ape users want to appear wealthy, the only thing that matters to them is the shiny fruit on the back
>>53738148
You're a motherfucking liar. My 4S runs just as bad on 9.3 than it did on 8. It is THE reason I switched to Android, fucking assholes sabotaged my device with no way of downgrading since they stopped signing the firmware.
Apple are vermin, if something goes wrong on my Android phone I can just boot into recovery and flash an older rom, can't do that on iTrash but no one cares because they upgrade every 2 years like sheep.
The 4S is shit on anything above 6.1.3. Was the reason I had to get a 6s.

If this is even close to the truth, Android is fucking finished. My Z3C runs pretty damn fast when doing something in apps but switching and starting apps has noticeable waiting time more often than not. UI lags from time to time too and the camera needs few sec to start and takes twice the time to shot a picture, my sisters bloated iPhone fucking 5 needs.

Huh, how comes? Even the best of them can barely keep up with half a year old A9 and only get a slight advantage in multi threaded apps.

Face the real facts. Macbooks are utter shit that throttle and overheat when doing anything even slightly demanding because of Apple's fucking joke of an engineering team that's led by retard hipster designers who demand "muh aesthetics" over functionality. And to top it all off, their battery life tanks worse than XXXTREME GAYMER laptops when doing even basic shit like 1080p video and downloading at the same time. Only morons and mactards would argue otherwise. Those are the plain as day facts.

I stopped giving a fuck about apple after they've made my ipad completely useless with ios 5. The thing worked perfectly and I used it for everything. Then I updated and it was utterly sabotaged and this seems to be a constant with itrash. Never touching apple garbage ever again.
>>53747256
in a perfect world, apple would let people put any version of ios they want on ther devices, but the thing is anytime they release a new version, they are also patching security exploits (that are also used for jailbreaking). so they either have to be okay with tons of devices running unsecure software, or anytime they patch something, also update all the previous versions of ios too (does google still release updates for kitkat? genuine question) i don't think that's feasible

I'm using a Mashmallow Rom on my Note 3 and it's making me consider just buying an iPhone to not have to deal with
a. Shitty official firmwares with tons of bloat and awful UI changes
b. Shitty custom firmwares that barely function, reset multiple times a day and can't even do something a simple as youtube
>>53747679
That's why I moved to Nexus but I'm still not satisfied. Why does apple do phones so fucking good.
Should I get an SE lads?
>>53747706
Could you explain your dissatisfaction? I'm curious
>>53747706
Because they're actually designed for the phone form factor and not a half-assed and neutered PC experience shrunk down for phones.
>>53747706
It's not as much Apple doing it good as Android phone makers making it bad. Even Windows or Loonix deals better with tons of different hardware and vendors, although it's made harder by each manufacturer being a special snowflake too.
>>53747665

How is that a bad thing? It's like the old analogy with the cheap boots vs the expensive boots. Talk shit all you want, but the guy who spend $100 once still has his dry, comfy boots, and you're on your 6th waterlogged $20 pair.
If that went over your head, I'm saying it's better to spend more money less often.
>>53749771
Yo, this entire thread is about how Apple is lying when they say their devices age well.
It's a fucking computer, not a boot. An A5 ages the same as any other ARM chip.
>>53749966
You are saying that they dont age well? What the fuck? My 4S is still fine after 5 years. Quality lasts.
can someone explain me why is it so impossible to downgrade already jailbroken devices? Don't they already have full system access and can do whatever they want, such as somehow bypass firmware sign check? Or its just simply because nobody cares? Or maybe there is a silent agreement between apple and jailbreak dev teams?
>>53749989
Read the thread, champ. There are several videos showing how shit the 4S is now compared to when it came out.
If you can't afford a new phone, Apple products are not for you. Don't try to justify being poor by pretending the device is still relevant.

A lot of them buy iPhones for the same reason as Gucci bags. They see a bunch of white people from California who are famous for no conceivable reason at all using them and suddenly start throwing hundreds of dollars at Apple.

My first Apple product was an iPod Touch (it was the first model to feature a Retina Display). One day I fell while riding my bike (it was Winter, ground was slippery as hell). I had my iPod in my right pocket together with the earphones. As I fell on my right side, the earphones were pressed into the back of the device. Consequently, there was a large dent in the back. The device still worked fine, except there was a dark spot on the display were the dent was in the back. I tried my luck and sent the iPod in (I didn't mention the accident or the dent, just the dark spot on the display). The next morning some guy from UPS came, gave me a new (or refurbished, even better) device and took the old device with him.
They just gave me a new one for the one I broke. That probably was the first surprisingly pleasing experience with customer service in my life. That's why I bought a Macbook a few months later.

Agreed. I have had ZERO issues with Apple Customer Support. When I was working in IT, if we got a defective device, it was replaced with no questions asked. (Whereas Lenovo grilled us because they tried everything to shift blame for their fuckup to us.)
OS X is the shittiest OS I've ever used. But Apple Support makes it worth the extra cost for a decent laptop.
