Buying anything other than an iPhone is a reactionary act: you are choosing not to buy an iPhone for some reason (spoken or unspoken): either because you hate Apple, or are trying to save money, or harbor philosophical beliefs of what your technology should allow you to do, etc. No one chooses to buy an Android or what have you (obviously). There's always some psychological turmoil lurking just beneath the surface of that decision.
But not just at the time of purchase. No! Then you constantly need to bother your friends and family about how XYZmessenger is way better than iMessage (please use it, guys?). Or that customizable widgets are totally worth the sociological ostracism, that's why you bought a phone right? To customize the icons. So cool you guys. You're isolated in a cul-de-sac of your own making, but at least you can pretty it up. Constant, ongoing psychologically-draining drama basically.
Buying an iPhone, by comparison, has no shadowy subtext. iPhone is synthesis, anything else is antithesis.
Hey don't make fun of my rice
>>52009502
I actually agree with this, I used to give my friend with an iPhone shit about it, now I fucking have one and love it.
He told me when I got it too, he started giving me shit because I have him shit about it.
He made the right choice and I didn't and my dissonance got the best of me.
The ONLY reason anyone uses an iPhone is simply because everyone fucking else uses it. Fuck imessage.

I agree in general. If you started off with Gmail though, then maybe started using google calendar etc. or later google docs for some reason, an Android+Google is going to be better than an iPhone+Google setup.
my choice was made for me when android back in 2010 even had the ability to play flash videos and iOS did not and never will

Typical apple brainwashing. When iPhones have something remotely close to IFTTT or Tasker then they may be on an even playing field. In the meantime hop off apple's dick.

Enjoy the future of subliminal advertising written into every article you read from your favourite sources that used to be funded by ads. Ads just need to be controlled, not eliminated. If you eliminate then, then the content will become the ad.
Apple has this sorted by blocking ads only in safari, and any apps that wish to display content using safari. This promotes platforms such as the new Apple News which will have a much more polished experience than an RSS reader, but be supported by ads controlled by apple, and not controlled by individual sites who may or may not want to spam the shit out of you with as many ads as possible

Please come back when you're no longer an idiot. No one actually important REALLY gives a shit about whether you use an android, iPhone, Windows phone, or blackberry. When I see someone with a $150 android, I don't think "lel they must be POOR", I think "oh, they must not really be into smartphones all that much" because I've known a lot of wealthy and influential people who don't give two shits because they'd target so other things rather than harp on the nuances of blue vs green chat bubbles.

Sorry OP but my Android is perfectly fine, plays YouTube when I want it to, texts when I want I to, takes pictures when I want it to, and plays games when I want I to.

Note 4 Elder God race here,
You iPhone users are not simply wrong, you are objectively wrong. Your iOS is shit. Your waifu Siri is shit. Your processor is shit. Your phone's parts are made by the companies you compete against. I have 160gb of storage on my phone, so just sit the fuck down. I get 12 hours of SoT, so just sit the fuck down. I never lag and I have 18 tabs open with another 22 applications in the background, you aren't even following me right now because if you allowed the truth in your fucking mind would break, you feeble fuck. I fully charge my battery in approximately 1 minute because I have a removable battery. I don't even plug my phone into the fucking wall. Who actually does this? Who in nearly 2022-6 actually practices purchasing inferior technology for a more expensive price? What is so damaged, so irreparably scarred in your subconscious that allows you to be dominated by the will of entities who care not for you, but only your grepples? Fathoming the answers to such questions is but one of the tasks I use my phone to perform-- that is, when I am not using it for a personal Virtual Reality and tuning out you basic schmucks. Switch to a God Tier+ Android or just suicide! Fucking get it over with, you're going to inevitably die while texting and driving, or getting "like hella' wasted, bro/girl!" or just by walking into traffic trying to stare at your poorly-lit screen in direct sunlight. My phone has features yours won't get for 2 years and then you'll believe its an "innovation" and pay another one-thousand dollarydoos because you're tired, your ideas are tired and you're fucking weak. Too weak to figure out how to min-max life. GG iTards

>>52010856
Touchwiz is good and it is getting better every update.
iOS, however, is getting slower every update because Apple are bloating it down with features they're stealing from Android.
It's practically unusable on older iPhones without disabling half the shit, and that's after Apple disables the other half. On the other hand Android is getting faster every update which is evidenced on devices that still get support, even if it is third party/community, while retaining all the features of the OS that are actually supported by the hardware.

Have you seen Apple recently? Their adverts have went to shit, their product design has went to shit. The 5c and upcoming 6c have turned the brand into 'affordable luxury' - the land of the £4 supermarket mini-cheesecake, which is always going to be a supermarket cheesecake, even if you paid £4 for it. Major iOS updates are now things that people will wait to apply, because it's going to slow their device down, or eat up all their space for no clear benefit, or reduce their once-great battery life.
Apple is literally the new Burberry. And I don't want to buy a £150 tie only to find out I match the tracksuit-wearing-chav sitting in the other carriage on the train.

you are doing just as OP did. And now i will do just as you did.
Apple ecosystem has no need for a universal remote, as you one need the one Siri remote as it controls your TV as well. Everything else such as your lights, door locks, aircon etc don't need remotes anymore. you just tell Siri what you want.
i have a 64gb phone, but the storage is just for apps and offline content. I have no need for external storage as i do everything with cloud services. I don't want space wasted with a dicky extra port in my phone either. In your scenario you probably wish your phone had an ethernet cable too. i don't like old fashioned shit like that. I like my leather case to be a leather case and my phone to be a phone tbqh :/. I have a plus so i don't have the battery pack. I hope they release one though as morphie ones look stupid and i like the revolutionary features of the apple one

Not talking about siri. I'm taking about the Siri remote for the apple tv. it controls your TV as well, and the apple tv can control your stereo. if you have any other boxes in your living room you are a queer.

Android is laggy crappy shit that lags harder than a fucking constipated shit from an ass. I used an Android once and it took that laggy Lagdroid piece of lagshit 4 goddamn shitty hours of lag to lag its way into Google's botnet and then they sent the NSA to my house. I threw that piece of fucking laggy shit out the window and it even lagged on the way down because Lagdroid lags like a shitty poop from an ass (or butt) and then someone saw the piece of shit Lagdroid on the ground and thought I took a shit out the window so the police came to my house (3 days later because the person who called used a Samshit Lagdroid which is a stupid phone for dumb idiots) and I got a ticket for shitting out the window. After that, I bought an Apple iPhone. Not only does it never lag, it actually reads my mind and brings up what I want as soon as I think of it. I get mad bitches now because bitches love guys who use Apple products instead of shitty Lagdroid poop and I couldn't be happier. None of you fat neckbearded fat fucks could possibly understand how great it is to own an iPhone because you're all poorfags and virgins. Peace

Nah, I just one android better. I've had them both and just happen to prefer it.
I have an iphone and I only use about 5 apps that I installed from the app store. the vast majority of apps on my phone are non removable bloat
honestly who the fuck would ever want Apple compass, voice memos, wallet, game center, stocks, weather, maps, tips, find friends, reminders, podcasts, health, ibooks, watch, numbers, or notes? not me at least they let me put them all in a folder called "bloat"

i'd much prefer it if i preferred google web apps to native apple apps. I've personally gone down the native apple apps path though. Gmail doesn't even do push in mail.app though, so Android is definitely better if you like google services
I went Android because I like to fiddle around with my phone, I like to customize it and change things to suit my needs and tastes. Specs are largely irrelevant so long as the phone is fast and smooth, which both iOS and Android are.
But hey, if you to get an iPhone that's fine, I don't even really care. Get what you want and don't force your opinions down my throat.

Siri sucks in that you have to be using stock apps to get full benefit from it. I'm not sure how Google voice works in that regard with 3rd party apps.
Siri technology though is statistically better than google voice. Siri gets your words right more often than google and cortina. If you do use apple apps though Siri is outstanding. Especially now with it being always on on the iPhone 6S, and having it on my TV and Watch now to.
I use Siri 99% of the time now for:
To make phonecalls to people on speaker
To add things to my reminders
To add event and reschedule them.
To search for when my next appointment X is
On my watch i use it for home kit stuff, and to send messages and emails.
I'm still trying to train myself to use it for more wolfram alpha stuff, but that's not yet currently something i use it for over the app
>>52012039
lol
>>52012047
for me Siri is extremely likely to get my speech input wrong. and i have a very flat pacific northwesterner accent (i.e. none at all.)
where as google can decipher complex phrases even if i mumble them. Its like when you spell something wrong and google gives you the "did you mean..." compared to all the autocorrect flubs ios is known for.
most recently Siri thinks I've been saying "fall out for", but google knows I mean "Fallout 4" because its a trending phrase. just one example

Whatever Android works with is what Android works with. This is fact.
Whatever Apple works with is whatever that generation of Apple tech works with. This is fact.
Apple services are LIMITED. Apple needs to be affiliated with a service in order to maybe allow their users to do extra stuff maybe that's with that service maybe. Ex: Apple pay
Android is better.
Ex: Samsung pay, UNIVERSAL remotes, screen sharing with macs & PCs (whereas Apple is just macs), etc.

apple hardware is supported for longer than any android phone maker. this is fact.
Both apple and google ecosystems are walled gardens, Apples garden is bigger, healthier, and the walls are stronger and higher.
Are you not familiar with apple pay? it's like samsung pay, but was released 6 months earlier...
>>52012260
just read some more of your post. apple stuff has vnc apps just like anything else, including microsoft remote desktop. You don't seem to really know what you are talking about
No, I just don't like the iPhone design, never did. It looks toyish and now it has gay colours (rose gold? Wtf, why?).
By contrast I find macminis to be useful. I also think the macpro is an interesting but deeply flawed concept (thermal throttling, only AMD choice of GPUs etc.) everything else from Apple is total shit. Problem is apple focuses too much on pretty design and not enough on actual technological progress. And what do you call people who make tech choices based on how pretty the item look like? Gay, literally.
>>52012260
>UNIVERSAL remotes,
This
iphones lack of an IR blaster is a pretty big deal, imho. especially when there are no less than 10 "universal remote" apps on the app store that imply being able to control a television via ir
lightning cable is extra shitty too, I remember when apple decided that all pre-existing 3rd party lightning cables should just stop working overnight through a software update. Can you imagine the millions of wires that were just rendered obsolete for no reason? i really dont care that its reversible, its a proprietary version of usb, it does nothing more and significantly less, all while costing much more and being less available
>>52012387
Macbook pro retina 13" is decent machine although bit too pricy.
>>52012387
i appreciate other people not liking apple products. the specifics of what you like from apple makes your opinion worthless though. You need to update your brain on modern technology. laptops don't need to be 2 inches thick with ethernet ports and cd rom anymore i'm afraid. And the MacBooks are the best at dropping legacy shit that elderly people still wanted
>>52012394
What devices do you use your universal remote for? In most cases i'll be able to tell you the apple way of doing it. I don't personally like non tactile controls anyway as you have to look at them to see where the buttons are
>>52012406
Maybe for students, personally I don't like laptops anymore, I like working with big screens. I've used laptops for more than 10 years and I'm sick of them.
>>52012437
just hook a big screen to your laptop?
>>52012417
Everyone is entitled to an opinion but you can not truly believe that the one port macbook is a good idea.
>>52012430
unfortunately i can't use a universal remote on account of owning an iphone, but i'd love to be able to control public tv's. I waste at least 15 minutes a week trying to find the remote in my office break room just so we can get meetings started without oprah blaring over the speaker
the whole phone is designed around non tactile controls
>>52012454
the macbook is replacing the old plastic MacBooks. it's a computer for normies. the only issue i can see with it is a usb thumb drive is still the most convenient way to transfer stuff in many scenarios. especially transferring slides to a computer in a conference room or something. It does come with a cable with a usb port on it though doesn't it?
>>52012469
oh yeah that'd be a handy use for a universal remote app.
I'm talking about non tactile controls for apps that you're not supposed to be looking at, like a TV remote app. You don't have to look at a physical remote once you get use to it. but you'll always have to look at a phone screen as you can't get a feel for the button layout
>>52010222
>Sent from Note 4 running TouchWiz 1.0 on Android 4.4.4 (latest firmware)
On one hand, I am fine with iPhones. The app support for them is great, and like it or not they are easy to support and set up if needed (I can also recommend them for people who are not very tech savy to try out). You want terrible? Try setting up a blackberry in a enterprise setting. They are the fucking devil. iPhones were a goddamn godsend when the option for employees to get them was made available.
On the other, there are features that Android phones offer that iPhones do not. One of the big reasons I switched over was the lack of expandable storage (because fuck paying $100 extra for what should be a $10-$20 upgrade), as well as replaceable battery. My iPhone 5 also started to yellow around the screen after a year of use, which is pretty bullshit (I can replace screens, but I wanted to switch at that point anyway).
In addition, being able to get stuff on and off was not easy, and not practical when doing IT stuff on the fly. Something I can do FAR better with Android then I could iPhone. And with the rumors that they are removing the 3.5mm headphone jack for their bullshit proprietary lightning connector crap/thinner (Something I use regularly for my headphones), they have pushed me away even more.
>>52012484
Fucking hell.
I'm glad I'm not a macfag, my sony vaio has plenty USB ports for me as well as HDMI and a battery dock.
I don't even need an adapter to use them, they're just the standard connection.
Apple makes horrible designs, even Sony was better.
>>52012449
Why would I do that when next year I'll be able to plug an Intel Cedar City compute stick in any big display, hook a wireless keyboard + trackpad and have a portable setup in any room I want without having to carry that laptop cargo everywhere. The Cedar city will have Core M cpu and HD graphics, which Apple uses in lots of their products, right? The irony.
If I want portability, my phone is enough for me. If I ever find a stringent need for a bigger portable device for computing the Surface Book looks a lot more appealing to me, because it's more flexible and the extra touch (and pen) abilities. An old classic laptop makes no sense to me in this day and age.
>>52012528
Can you list some Android software features that iPhones still don't have that you think are essential? I haven't use latest Android in ages
As for the SD Card and replaceable battery. I'd flip my shit if apple started doing that sort of stuff across their whole product line. What would be awesome though is a new line, or a refocus of the Pro badged models, to prioritise stuff like that higher.
Like keeping the macbook pro much thicker than the macbook, but have a massive battery in it.
And make an iPhone pro with a much thicker battery and SD card reader (mainly for pro photographers though, not so much for general storage).
a 16gb iPhone 6/6S is a massive kick in the face by apple, but no apple user needs more than 64gb if they use iCloud photos and apple music
why do people pretend apple updates ar good when they only make older phones super slow?
>inb4 >not being so rich you can afford every iphone
>>52012541
sony vaio is a premium laptop though. the new macbook is a poorfag mac that is replacing the old plastic shit. The macbook is also much thinner than the vaio, i don't even have to look that up.
>>52012552
it was just a suggestion i guess if you still required something to be sometimes portable. i wouldn't call a stick that require a monitor and keyboard and mouse portable at all. Sounds awesome to replace thin clients though.. Apple only use the Core M on their budget laptop, and i think it's just a temporary thing until they switch to full ARM processors on everything
I haven't ever owned an iPhone, I have used one and I prefer Android. The past few years I've really taken a liking to Motorola, starting with the Moto E as my first real smartphone, then the Moto G 3rd Gen.
Why do you consider Apple the default rather than preference?
>>52012578
latest iOS sped up old iPhones significantly. and they of course add heaps of new features. if you want the phone that you paid for, turn updates off. if you want something closer to what a new iPhone will give you, turn updates on. pretty simple
>>52012617
iPhones are the gold standard. OP is a faggot though
>>52012633
I fucking hated dealing with iTunes to put literally anything on the phone, that was a complete deal breaker. I've noticed HTC does the same thing with their 'sync manager'
It's just a hassle for no good reason
>>52012592
Why is thinness so important?
If I need my vaio to be thinner I just remove the battery dock, which I rarely do.
And even if it's not a premium laptop, it's certainly priced like one here.
How thick is a USB port that apple needs to eliminate it completely for thinness?
It's like with their phones, it's so thin I don't feel like its safe in my hands, I'm always paranoid I'm going to crush my iPhone 6. My friends g3 isn't much thicker but the curved back feels really comfy in my hands.
Apple just can't make a good product anymore.

I can understand that. I had a Dell Axim in the early days of iPods. This was before i used anything apple. The syncing setup for the windows phones was shit at the time. Windows media player was shit at managing which stuff i wanted to sync, and the software to play the stuff on the axim was shit also. I decided to pick up an iPod nano, as there was some sort of extra annoyance on microsoft switching between express to outlook support on the windows mobile or something, so i just bailed on that.
At this stage using the iPod nano, and using iTunes for the first time, was actually like a glass of cold water to me. Apple have added on anything that needs Windows support since then to iTunes, and it desperately needed a total rewrite many years ago. But today you don't have to hook your iOS derive up to iTunes for anything at all.
>>52012672
for a portable device, thickness, battery life, and weight are some of the top priorities. iPhones were thin enough ages ago, i just want more batter life in them now. But i'd love a laptop even thinner than my MBA with the same or better battery life. I could never go back to anything thicker than a MBA
I buy android because it has the best emulation scene, removable batteries, and MicroSD.
If iOS had all this, I'd switch,
>>52012695
If the laptop is thinner than a USB port then it's not going to be a good laptop. It will either be limited in hardware or battery life. Or both
>>52012732
Why is thinness so important for apple and applefags?
>>52012735
do you use that setup with the joystick outside of the house? If not, can't you just mod a wii for emulation? iPhones have much more games that are actually optimised for a touchscreen
>>52009502
I might be down if apple wasn't so garbage with Google services. Apple needs to get with the times, nobody seriously uses icloud.
>>52012758

today: yes. Tomorrow: no
>>52012758
>Why is thinness so important for apple and applefags?
in a laptop it's much more portable if it's thinner. and i can hold it in the field effortlessly with one hand and show others the screen. Not as easy as a tablet in that scenario but i currently prefer laptops
>>52012679
>no superior AMOLED display
Uhm, I'm actually an HTC M8 user precisely because I didn't want to risk buying a Note 4 or 5 and have my display get burn in after some time. So, I dunno I think the Amoled technology is not mature yet. In fact, I'm not sure it will ever be a good replacement for LCD, as long as it has organic degradable components in it. Sure, they look awesome but they don't offer enough longevity to the product. You can't simply tell the client to knowingly buy a product with built-in obsolescence or to always use it with a dimmer brigthness setting.
>>52009544
I actually agree with this, I used to give my friend who took dicks up his ass shit about it, now I fucking have a different one every day and love it.
He told me when I took my first dick too, he started giving me shit because I have him shit about it.
He made the right choice and I didn't and my dissonance got the best of me.
>>52012764
>do you use that setup with the joystick outside of the house?
Depends, on long bus, long train, or flights I do.
I can use touchscreen controls just finem but I just got a PS4 and decided to get extra use out of the controller.
And native iOS games aren't fun for me, I only play JRPGs for the most part and the few native ones are also on Android.
Also a Wii has shit emulators, they can't re-render, none support AA, and it cannot emulate Dreamcast, PSP, and DS.
>>52009502
>Not buying a Bugatti Veyron Super Sports is the result of social short-comings, akin to a psychological disease.

This is what iFags actually believe. They believe that owning an iPhone is the natural human state. If I ever met you in real life OP, I would insist you kill yourself. Upon refusal, I would murder you.

Android is my default because the apps I use and the Android features I use aren't on iPhone. Plus the Android phones I buy are cheaper than iPhones, even without contact
>>52012819
there's more than one good car manufacturer though. And in a certain way there aren't any good car manufacturers. There's only one tech company that has what i would call a health ecosystem though. Sure there's uses for a Deksopt PC tower, just as there are uses for a 4x4 Landcruiser
>>52012845
what battery are you talking about? Macbook have the best battery life last time i checked. And some other companies still aren't even using polymer batteries
>>52012799
I really doubt your screen stays on long enough at any given time to get burn in, if it's even really a thing, anymore. Even the old plasmas had to be on a static image for hours at a time to experience it.
>>52012843
Well most are turn based like FF but a lot incorporate other mechanics into their battle systems.
I play non turn based ones like the Mana series too.
>>52009502
This is some real intense shilling
>>52009502
probably in USA, not here in europe. here flagship android phones are the norm, as well as mid class and low class, and here (Italy) even windows phone has its good portion (around 25/30%). Actually are iphones user those who must shout around how their experience is superior to that shit android is, but normal people don't actually care, we often make fun of them
>>52012871
I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, but I've seen reports about burn in even on Note 4. And I'm a big fan of the Note series, I wanted to buy Note 4 or 5, but there were 2 things which broke the deal for me:
- the glass back in the Note 5, which can easily break if you only drop it once on the floor (the lack of mSD card was also an issue)
- potential display burn in on either the Note 4 or 5.
So, I decided to just get a cheaper flagship from 2014 (HTC M8) and wait for a better year to get a good phone.
If the Note 5 had an LCD option, I would have bought it and maybe got a good case to mitigate the risks of getting that glass back broken.
I just don't trust Amoled screens, I'm sure I'll never buy an Amoled TV, for the same reason. As long as there still is that risk that with some types of usage patterns it might get burn in, or that in time, the blue diodes will degrade and the whites will turn yellowish, I can't justify throwing the money on them.
>>52012893
There's heaps of iPhone users in Australia but i'm not sure what eh marketshare is here. I'm not sure if it's the same elsewhere but the flagship android phones are just as expensive as iPhones. Phone contracts are a bit different here as well and sometimes it can actually be cheaper to do a 24 month contract, instead of paying outright and going prepaid
>>52012868
exactly the fucking point, imagine shoving the battery from retina pro into the current macbook
make it fatter just for the fuck of it so we can have some 24 hour batteries instead of this 10 hour that everyone already has
i can't count the number of times i tried to rely on the battery being "miraculously better" only to end up the next day with a dead battery no way to charge cus non-standard charger
at least i didnt pay for this fucking thing it belongs to the printer shop i work for but it's still garbage compared to what it could have been had apple used their amazing batteries along with a bit of brains
back to the point, >If the laptop is thinner than a USB port then it's not going to be a good laptop. It will either be limited in hardware or battery life. Or both
if they had kept the same hardware while shoving in a huger battery it would be perfect
what do we get instead? the same battery life as pretty much any other notebook today but it's thinner. wow. great.
apple had the chance to make something incredible and didnt grasp it, probably cus jobs is dead and now their design team is pushing out shit like pic related

MBA gets many hours more battery than the pro, and the MBA is thinner. it depends on how much the computer sucks up as well. It's a balancing act, and i admit apple usually go on the thinness side instead of the battery life side. as it costs them less and and their products look shinier in the showroom

My friends macbook is dead before my sony hits 50%, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>52012790
I can already do all that with my Sony with the battery dock connected. How weak can a person really be? If a laptop is too heavy just use a tablet, don't reduce functionality so you can show off a pretty glowing fruit logo.
Here's a pic of me holding my vaio with my left hand, which is my weak hand. Battery dock attached.
>>52013008
what are the Watt-hours of the sony battery and how many hours is it rated?
>>52009502
Could say the same thing about a Galaxy. They're essentially equivalent phones.
>>52012966
MBA gets more hours than pro because MBA has thinned down specs
the pro battery has to work a lot harder to power a DEDICATED GRAPHICS CARD and a FULL VOLTAGE CPU none of this ulv dogshit you find in the MBA buddy
the pro battery is 99.5-watt-hour while the air is barely half of that, it's a bigger battery that's my point
imagine that huge ass fucking battery
combined with the specs of the current macbook which are good enough for officework
and you get a machine that will run for days without a charge, you get me? this is what im waiting for
>>52013008

>>52013026
yeah that's what i said in three words or so "depends on how much the computer sucks also"
>>52013018
that question doesnt work because for some reason apple uses completely different terms for their battery measurements while the rest of the universe measures in amps
>>52013018
Googling Vaio S battery turns up 5200mah + 4600 for sheet battery
Can't find exact mah for current macbooks because they use a different term, many sites estimate it at 5000
>>52013036
you're joking me right? Apple usually are the only ones who consistently mention the watt-hours of their devices. Other manufacturers only selectively list it is it's not embarising to list. watt-hours is the most accurate way batterys are usually measured in any industry. wh. kwh etc
>>52013018
They said 11 hours on the website iirc, but I can squeeze around 14 hours out of it with low brightness and wifi on when I'm being conservative.
The battery dock is 49wh, not sure about the internal battery but I'm pretty sure it's very close if not the same. You also have to consider that Sony haven't made recent laptops, this is using a sandy bridge i7 and a hd 6630m GPU. If it was on newer tech I have no doubts battery life would be close to double with the same battery.
>>52013008
>Literally a battery with a computer attached, not the other way around

>>52013299
great i bet that serves you well when you're at a desk with no power socket. as that's basically a desktop replacement but with battery life instead of performance
>>52013375
if apple advertise it as 12 hours, and you get 4 hours, it's really your own fault for not getting it replaced under warranty. Not supprised he doesn't want another one

It's not his fault he's so weak he can't hold anything heavier than a macbook air 12" with only one port to stop it from getting too heavy.
>>52009502
lmao, no. compared to, lets say, an LG G4, the iPhone has no chance of fullfiling my needs. the screen on the G4 is better and bigger, the camera is overall better too, it can multitask (as in, download torrents or other files while I watch a movie), it has removable battery for futureproofness, etc. this while costing like what...half the price? I'm poor and I just use a windows phone tho. but an android phone would definitely fit my needs much better than an iPhone would. if you like the iPhone better sure, go ahead and buy one. but it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Apple products breaks easily, with lots of faulty units.
Apple is overpriced sandwich garbage

Google supports lgbt too
btw you must be a gigantic moron not to buy some products just because the manufacturer supports something like who the fuck cares
>>52014723
Fare enough opinion bro. Enjoy your life in the ecosystem of an adversing company then.

Google Music and apple music allow you to upload your own music to fill in the gaps.
People keep taking the apple ad bait.
Stop it.
What has /g/ become.
Or because:
>Wider variety of phones to choose from
>More customization
>Don't have to use iTunes
>Non-proprietary cables, accessories, ect.
>>52015444
this is what happens when you use an ad blocker
>>52015622
If I was using an ad blocker, I wouldn't be able to view /g/.
>>52015486
>Non-proprietary cables, accessories, ect.
what is USB-C
>>52015655
if you blocked /g/. Representatives for google adsense would come to your house and hold ads up to your windows
>>52015763
You've convinced me, uninstalled ublock
>>52015821
all ad blockers other than ios9/OSX10.11 content blockers most likely track everything you do btw
This is some good bait
>>52015888
In all seriousness, I wrote a cron job that updates my hosts file for adblocking a long time ago. No tracking for me.
>>52015923
i'm not saying the adblocker do track you. i'm saying they can. Content blocker in Safari can't track you even if they wanted to though. IF you look at the people behind most adblocker you will see they are as bad as ad companies themselves. The guy who runs ublock origin is probably the only one i would trust. though can you really trust a guy so shit at UI design?
>>52015973
Like I said, I rolled my own. I don't really have to care much at this point. /etc/hosts based blocking is surprisingly effective.
I use an android phone because its more open, has a fucking good file manager system and i can connect to my computer and transfer files easily wihtout any of that itunes bullshit. Like the other guy said people buy iphones cause everyone else fucking has one.
>>52015991
you can't collapse ad space via host files though can you?
>>52016026
because everyone else recommends them. it's called word of mouth, free advertising you get if you make good products
I like using clover to browse 4chan when I'm out and about.
Mobile browser's kind of pooey.

A lot of the time the element will not show itself if it fails to load, I have noticed. Another nice solution is to run a webserver on localhost that always 404s, or always serves a blank page, but I don't bother personally. I imagine you could serve a page with a signature you have added, and use a simple greasemonkey script to filter those elements if you really wanted to make sure you couldn't see them.

Symbian days... all day flash shits, 3 days battery life....

hacking is illegal
>sister has been on Android for years
>hates it and dreams of an iPhone
>she saved up her fucking lunch money to buy one
>dad ended up buying her one even after saying he wouldn't
>cost over $500 and is lower resolution than my 2013 moto g
>all she does now is complain about ios and ask me to help her so things
Grass is greener I suppose.
>>52016448
bluer actually
The only thing really attractive to me is apple pay, I wanna be able to swish my phone out to pay for shit.
Android pay isn't coming to the UK for fucking ages for some reason.
>>52016482
if you like android, stick with android. you will not like iOS
>>52016522
There are things that get on my nerves about android, I'd quite like to try something different but signing up for a 2 year contract and finding out you don't like it is a massive kick in the nuts.
I don't think I'll bother because I won't be able to get Clover or watch pirated movies on the iPhone without hassle. Though the games and shit do look better.
>>52016547
look into what the oldest iPhone is that supports apple pay then and buy that one to see if you like iOS
