The Android phones that are comparable in quality to iPhones are also comparable in price. Well, aside from the X/XS. It's fine if you have a cheaper phone and don't care but don't act like your $200 Moto whatever is as good as a Samsung Galaxy S9 or Google Pixel 3.

Colonel Cancer posted:Your 200$ moto is just as good if not better than overpriced garbage. What the gently caress are you going to do with your phone, mine butt coin? You'll just call and message and poo poo post all day, anything beyond that is worthless. The camera quality is important to me because photography is one of my hobbies but I don't always have or want to have my DLSR camera on me, and the Galaxies, Pixels, and iPhones take drat good photos and video these days. For me, that alone is worth the extra couple hundred bucks. It's true though that the lower end Android phones have gotten much better than the earlier smartphone days which I think a lot of people still use as their frame of reference.

The lack of the headphone jack has been a complete non issue for me. They come with an adapter and it’s easy to get more. Some people complain about not being able to charge and listen at the same time but the new phones hold a charge so much better that it doesn’t matter.

Fancy_Breakfast posted:Because I can just plug my android phone into any pc or whatever and just drag and drop files or pull photos off the phone easily by just dragging. Counterpoint: iPhones receive support/updates for five years. Most Android phones are lucky to get like, more than one ever? How is an Apple ID any different than Android needing your Google account for everything? And cloud storage exists now, you can just put the stuff you want on your phone on iCloud and now it’s on your phone too. Anyone who gets genuinely upset about this and can’t recognize that both have their advantages and disadvantages is a major pissbabby.

Bardeh posted:there's no back button on iphones. it's horrible shitgarbage. why the gently caress isnt there a back button. how is the user experience enhanced in any way whatsoever by its lack. The back button is built into all apps and a button appears if you switch apps. This is another 100% total non issue. Rutibex posted:"Updates" which make the OS take up more overhead so that older iPhones run like poo poo. Apple isn't giving you those updates out of the kindness of their heart, it part of their planned obsolescence cycle. iOS 12 made all phones supporting it as fast as or nearly as fast as they’ve ever performed.

EvilJoven posted:Any phone you can't get for 0$ with a plan is a scam. Counterpoint: Cell phone contracts are a scam. In most cases you spend less money by buying the phone outright and going with a no-contract plan. Today even the big carriers offer a no-contract options that are good and they are always have a cheaper monthly rate than contract plans.

I used to always see shattered iPhones but I don't see too many shattered phones in general one way or another anymore. phones are just tremendously more durable now.

A lot of perceptions in this thread are based on like 2012 era phones. All the flagships phones these days are pretty great and the moderate priced phones are just fine. I still would never recommend a budget (under $200) Android unless you really only use it bare minimum and don't care.rear end cobra posted:mentioning an apple product makes some special breeds of nerd act very weird and angry these are the same type of people that would probably start bitching out their date when she pulls out an iPhone and see nothing wrong with this behavior

Dumb Lowtax posted:It's bricked enough. After each boot up, something gradually gives out after a few minutes, and afterwards no calls transmit sound either direction, no photos or videos can be taken, and text messages very frequently get missed and disappear forever. They hosed me up real good with that update. Hmm yes, "Apple pushed out an update to brick all 7+'s, a phone that they still currently sell and is still in production." - A logical conclusion to your extremely specific and rare situation. Have you performed a restore through iTunes? If not then that should be your first step instead of attempting to trade it in.

Dumb Lowtax posted:Yeah first thing I tried, of course. They're not signing any versions earlier than 12.1.3. Tried that and it didn't work. 12.1.2 was the one that bricked my phone and I'm not "allowed" by iTunes to go back any earlier and see if it's really a question of newer updates just being too resource hungry for my particular device to not overheat. There just simply aren’t enough hardware variations in specific iPhone models for iOS 12.1.2 specifically to be the culprit especially since the 12.x.x type updates are just bug fixes and wouldn’t be more resource heavy. What you’re experiencing would be much more widely documented. We’re also talking about iOS 12 here which has been well received for speeding up every device it’s available on to their original performance. What you’re seeing seems like a hardware failure unfortunately, or the updates are not installing correctly for whatever reason, and that does suck and iTunes sucks but two more things you could try: 1. Put your phone in recovery mode and then connect to iTunes and run a restore. When I had an issue in the past I had success with this method. 2. Restore and set up as a new iPhone. Also sucks but not as annoying as you might think. Most things are stored in your app accounts or in iCloud, the main thing is ensuring your photos are backed up.

Mooey Cow posted:I like all the hosed up touch combinations you have perform on iOS to do the simplest poo poo. You double click the home button or swipe up on the home bar and you get an app switcher just like on Android. You then swipe away the apps you want to close, just like on Android.

fakeaccount posted:A car key doesn't cost $400. Being stupid and gullible enough to buy a car that includes "keys" that they charge $400 for, costs $400. Even the cheapest cars these days have fancy key fobs and yes they usually are like a minimum of $200 to replace.

95% of iPhone users aren't thinking about any of this poo poo one way or another, it's the Android spergelords that get rage boners over this. Y'all wonder why your green text boxes carry a stigma.

Cough Drop The Beat posted:Lol. You're hilarious. How is this in any way a valid comparison? May as well say "Sounds like you're getting ripped off by that Lincoln MKZ. I bought a used Ford Focus for $4k and it's perfect!" Yeah, those $100 phones are garbage even compared to phones in the $200-300 range. Literally you can tell the difference within seconds of playing with the display models. If it doesn't bother you, then more power to you.
