Why is that so many tech savvy people complain about the "outdated" specs on an iPhone as opposed to its competition, when it performs the same, if not better in some aspects (as most phones are)?
Then even within the Android ecosystem, so many of you seem to get off on meaningless specifications, geekbench scores, and stupid-high display resolution.
Aside from battery life, and cameras, these devices perform on par with each other, whether it be an iPhone, Sony Xperia Z, Samsung Galaxy S, etc...
I find even more ridiculous how the general public participates in the phone wars, nonsense. Get over yourselves.
Why the bitching?
Because shit specs and shit storage aren't the only problems on iPhones. See pic related.
>inb4 sour grapes
Funny thing about that picture, the current Nexus devices don't have wireless charging because "the Type C connector can't be inserted the wrong way, so it no longer requires effort to charge your phone".
Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus 5X, but fuck companies for removing features.

Maybe but simply lack too many hardware and software features to be taken seriously. People want msd slots and the ability to torrent on their phones without hacking it. Apple can't deliver, period.
>>55560886
The only poorfag here is you. Most iPhone users are actually constantly poor and have their shitty iPhones on a ~$20/month lease.
Outdated?
iPhone has less ram but it still beats android when it comes to multi-tasking. A9 is still the best SoC out here (even 1 year later) and iPhone is still the only phone that has NVM storage (that makes a huge difference in real world performance)
What else do you need? Sure, iPhone doesnt have the most MP in a camera or the biggest resolutions but that its not really what you should be looking at when comparing screens and cameras.
>>55560905
Whatever you say poorfag
>>55560889
While I agree with the fact that a lot of people want mSD slot (e.g. the GS6 fiasco), I'm not sure that the majority of Androphone buyers care about torrent

Actually they do. It's a known fact that most 1080p yify downloaders are android users with 64-128 msd cards. Don't believe me, look that the torrent client ID's next time you download a rip.
>>55560934
You are right. It actually performs much much better.
Iphones are currently about 30% faster than any other android flagship. Its almost pathetic.
Anyway, pic related is the reason I don't even consider android.
I like to receive updates on time and I don't want my device to be artificially obsolete in a couple of years.

I got Z3 Compact and SE, the battery life on SE is longer and most importantly, more consistent. I had my Z3C almost dying in the middle of the day and lasting two with about the same usage, while SE constantly lasts two days.

Most of the time yes, but I never noticed any slowdowns and lag on my SE yet, while they are pretty constant during browsing or switching apps with Z3C; it has an older SOC sure but from what I read, the 6.01 experience is supposed to be super awesome and smooth, and it isn't.
>The difference is so miniscule
In viewing quality, yes but 4k meme and even 1440p also add a stupid drain to the battery life. It's a great example how Android manufacturers go for big numbers instead of user experience. S7 would have a fucking godly battery life with a 1080p OLED screen.
>>55561370

Even if it was a pretty niche feature (and it isn't, even if you don't find it useful), why would you not want it? I could get if not including an sd card slot would get you something, like more battery, but then maybe Apple should stop making "dude thin lmao" phones. Half a milimeter of thickness would compensate for the battery life a card slot would take up.
So again, even if you yourself don't find it useful, why is it better to not have features?

He's explained twice that the amount of RAM doesn't matter past a certain point on Android. It's highly optimized for shit phones with <1GB of RAM, even devices with 3 or 4 get forced by the OS to drop pages. It's not about the OS creating more RAM out of thin air, it's about the OS not caring how much you have.

>A setting in the OnePlus 3's build.prop file artificially limits the device to storing only 20 apps in memory at a time. This means that unless they are 20 really big apps, you'll never use that 6GB of memory. With normal app usage, we were averaging between 25 to 30 percent memory usage on the OnePlus 3—less than the 2GB of RAM that has become the baseline for Android phones these days. Other devices usually hover around 80 percent.
Carl Pei, co-founder of OnePlus, explained this decision on Twitter. "We have a different strategy for RAM management that benefits battery," he wrote. "We think this is the best user experience." As a user, however, I don't really understand the point of loading a phone with 6GB of RAM if you then don't allow the phone to use it.
>>55561945

Either you compare preinstalled Android vs stock iOS or custom/rooted Android vs jailbroken iOS. You can't suddenly bring CM into it, because you can delete whatever you want on a jailbroken iPhone as well.
>>55562082
Except CM doesn't require you to expose a root level exploit and block all security updates to keep it installed.

>>55562107

You do not, takes about 20 minutes if you're reading a guide. And 18 of those 20 are just the initial compilation.
>>55562082
>Either you compare preinstalled Android vs stock iOS or custom/rooted Android vs jailbroken iOS.
Ok that's fair. Stock Android lets me do more stuff than stock iOS and Android is much easier to root than iOS. Also I keep getting updates with CM and rooted Android, last time I checked rooting iOS disabled that. And since there is no custom iOS, CM just wins by having no match.
>>55562120
>>55561945
"Hiding them" is a terrible solution and cumbersome. Creating a junk folder and putting it on the last page of your iOS apps is just as effective and easier.
>>55562143
It's easier to root because there's more exploits for it. You can install security patches while jailbroken.
>>55562001
>A funny thing about this thread is that no applefag is actually throwing around any qualities about the iPhone.
"It just werks" is a killer feature if you're not a NEET with too much time, so obviously Lagdroid fanboys ignore that.
There is also seamless experience without stutter and lags, years of updates, better made and earlier released apps, Continuity if you're not a poorfag and usually better made hardware. Encryption that doesn't kill your storage speed is pretty awesome too.
Also Apple support is A LOT better, something is wrong with your iFruit toy? You bring it to Apple store and it gets replaced right away.
Other than that, blue bubbles and maybe I was just unlucky, but I had yet to see an Android phone with a fast camera.
That's just top of my head stuff.
>>55561958
>It's highly optimized for shit phones with <1GB of RAM
I sincerely do not know if you're referring to Android or iOS. I had a shit Nook with CyanogenMod with less than 1 GB and it was fucking garbage. I have a shit Dell tablet now with 2 GB and it's lesser garbage but garbage nonetheless.
On the other hand iPhones run pretty decent with that 1 GB
>>55562143
>You do not, takes about 20 minutes
That's bullshit. Over 5 minutes go into the install on phone already.
>if you're reading a guide
Which you have to find first.
Then you have to know which ROM to install, which software you need to have on your PC, from where to get it and whether it will work with your phone; things you probably don't even think about anymore but matter for people who aren't doing this shit all the time.
>>55562066
I remember reading the Z3C had probably the best Android life at the time of its release.
>>55562042
Really? Why? Because threw an excessive 6 GB of RAM in a phone?
>>55562339
Which was good when the average Android phone barely lasted through a day, now the Z3C battery life is still pretty good but not that special anymore. iPhone battery life was usually pretty average sans Plus ones, but SE got pretty much the best of any high end phone.
>>55562339
The size isn't a problem, their artificial limit is, making it literally a gimmick you can't use in 99% of scenarios. Like having a 20MP camera but only being able to shoot 8MP pictures.
>>55562188
>It's easier to root because there's more exploits for it.
What the fuck are you talking about? It's installed from a recovery that you flash onto the device, how is that an exploit? By that logic any feature that allows input is an exploit.
>You can install security patches while jailbroken.
>MANUALLY
Great, let me know when it reaches a level of function past the year of 1998.
>>55562227
Willing to concede on a few points because I'm ignorant on the matter.
>"It just werks" is a killer feature
Yes, but I get that with Android. I get that with any TouchWizz/MIUI bloat actually. They're crap on many levels, but they all just get it done.
>There is also seamless experience without stutter and lags
Let's be honest, this only works if you're using a last-gen or current-gen. Anything beyond that lags harder than most 200$ Android phones.
>Also Apple support is A LOT better, something is wrong with your iFruit toy?
I don't use warranties because I inevitably open/unlock most devices I own, but how is this different from a standard warranty? Broken, gets fixed.
>Other than that, blue bubbles

>I had yet to see an Android phone with a fast camera.

For fuck's sake how hard is it to google "install cyanogenmod" and click the first result.
All the stuff you listed actually comes from the guide. I had never rooted a phone in my life and installed CM on my old Moto G in about an hour. The only difficulty I had was installing abd on my laptop and that was only because I was using Linux which involved finding the name of the package for my distro.
>>55562400

>>You can install security patches while jailbroken.
>>MANUALLY

>>55562400
>It just werks
In a "you can do things" way, not in a "you can do things without annoyance" way. It sounds like a such minor thing and I am not quite sure how to explain it better. It's just that kind of stuff you don't notice when you have it but do if you don't. Part of it depends on the manufacturer, some do it fine, with others you have to remove the bloat because having two apps doing the same shit is just retarded. Then you get to the part of "which app do I actualy remove?" Which non shit app should I use to play music? There are many threads about it for a reason.
>lag
My sis got a 4 year old iPhone 5, the battery life is a complete mess by now and the shit shuts it down at 60% sometimes, but it runs the latest iOS without problems and feels like a new phone. My Xperia Z3C can't open some websites without feeling like a laptop with PIII. The most annoying part is that it DOES run fine most of the time but the little stutter moments just ruin the experience.
>warranty
You don't have the option to just bring it to store and get it INSTANTLY replaced with any brands I know of. Sure you can send them in but depending on your location, it can take weeks till you get your stuff back. Besides, from my experience (with Sony) they usually try to fix it, might mess it up again and the whole shit repeats. With Apple you just get a new phone right away.
>You mean shutter speed?
That and simply opening the camera app. The latter is pretty close on the newer Android phones but the shutter speed is ridiculously slow. Let me bring up my sis' iPhone 5 again, it was one of the reasons why I switched. It's an old ass phone but the camera app open in less than a second and it records pictures the instant you push the button, so fast that you can accidently shoot two or three.
es from manufacturer to manufacturer. I recently read that Samsung fixed it with S7 that can store a lot more in the memory than S6 even though they have the same amount.

Well, they claim because of the battery life, but then I'd be simpler just to put in standard 4GB for that, so I suspect it's because of the dick waving with numbers.

Yeah, that shit varies a lot; which makes the size of RAM almost as useless as GHZ for the CPU sadly. And it changes from manufacturer to manufacturer. I recently read that Samsung fixed it with S7 that can store a lot more in the memory than S6 even though they have the same amount.
Bet it's extra annoying when you have a tablet, where running more apps makes more sense.
