I like to have a lot of storage on my phone, and I'd rather pay $50 for a 128gb microsd card than pay $5000 for a iPhone with sufficient storage.

Android isn't just good for phones and tablets. Andriod TV boxes are the best thing ever. Apple TV is garbage compared to Kodi

gary oldmans diary posted:basic stuff everyone should be able to do is set up events for times of day and when you exit/enter range of specific wireless networks or whether its charging or not and base tasks off those conditions could I set it up to turn on BitTorrent whenever I encounter a public WiFi?

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Counterpoint: iPhones receive support/updates for five years. "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.

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW posted:Serious question but why would you want to connect your phone to an Xbox controller? What does it do? And why does it connect to the controller and not the system? so you can use the xbox controller to play emulators on your phone.

COMRADES posted:Apple exploits child labor in one of the poorest countries on Earth in order to make iPhones more cheaply which it then sells at an outrageous mark up which has made it one of the most profitable companies in the world. ah yes I too buy my phones only from artisan local phone masons.

Blistex posted:What's that about? Every one of my students with an iPhone has a screen that looks like it was used to stop a truck, while their Android using counterparts don't have nearly that level of attrition. I've been told that iPhones are actually more durable than most other phones, so are Apple users just massively clumsy? the difference is if an android phone user breaks their screen they can afford to replace it

Dumb Lowtax posted:Suppose that I'm pissed at Apple for remotely bricking my previously fine and working 7+ phone with an update the exact moment I paid it off this month. Suppose that I would prefer Android going forward because I like file management and hate Apple the company. trade the iPhone 7+ to a electronics store instead and get credit towards an android phone. any store that advertises that it will jailbreak or unlock cell phones will take your phone in for trade credit if you buy a fancy android ($450 for an android would be quite fancy)

COMRADES posted:I buy a ~$150 phone and use it until it is too broken to operate, which is usually 2-4 years. You're basically a loving idiot if you do anything other than that because I guarantee my phone is just as capable at running any app you run on a fancy iPhone that costs 10x more and it's also waterproof and has a headphone jack. my point was you were ragging on iPhone for being made in a Chinese sweatshop. you think your cheap android phone is assembled under better conditions? lol

Cough Drop The Beat posted:Dude, this is completely and utterly wrong. Apple released a stealth update that throttled down the processors in iPhones that have a dying batteries, not the battery itself, so potentially the dying battery lasts longer with less power draw. I had an iPhone 5 with a barely working battery that would randomly turn off at 50-60% out of nowhere and Apple wanted to minimize that behavior for many users. But I disagreed with this move because it was done without user consent. It was really wrong for Apple to do that and they were hit with class action lawsuits. But it also has nothing whatsoever to do with "planned obsolescence" because it's not like Apple can download you a new battery but they did offer heavily discounted $30 batteries for all of 2018. you are so close to figuring it out. tell me, if planned obsolescence isnt the goal why does apple prevent people from removing the back plate and replacing the battery?

Cough Drop The Beat posted:Lol. There are literally no flagship phones left, besides some 2.5 year old LG models like the V20, that have removable batteries. It's not 2014 when Samsung and other Android manufacturers still offered replaceable batteries. I bought a new phone a few months ago and it has a removable back plate, SD card slot, and a headphone jack. it cost me $100. sounds like your getting ripped off by these "flagship" phones.

Bluetooth signals in your ear give you brain cancer. No thanks, I prefer the superior audio fidelity and safety of wired headphones.

sebmojo posted:I'm not sure anyone cares that much these days but it also enables device level copy protection of audio since its not an analog connection anymore. you know can buy a bluetooth reciever that has a 3.5 audio jack on it right? They are like $15. don't tell the RIAA!

sebmojo posted:Yeah I was talking about the analog hole, ditching the headphone jack is, like HDMI/hdcp, a step towards closing that. It doesn't work that way now but one plausible minor reason for getting rid of headphone jacks is so that it can in the future. It is litteraly impossible to use drm to make music unpiratable. at some point the music has to be decoded and sent to a set of speakers to make sounds that can be heard by your analog ears. You can record the music from the air, or tap into the leads going into the speaker driver and capture the analog signal.
