have had the same 6s+ for years with the original screen no cracks because i’ve kept a good case on it. i don’t use a screen protector because those arw awful.

also my linux rig you’re wrong this is a real button on the 6s+. the 7 was when they removed it for waterproofing purposes and added the fake button with haptic feedback.

my iPhone 7 is pristine. always keep a case on it. there are maybe some fine scratches on the screen but I can only see them in daylight.

Original iPhone was really hamstrung but that probably doesn't deserve to be held against it.

iPhone 3G was too slow and didn't have MMS

3GS was good

4 and 4S are ok, kind of boring. Siri not that good after all

5 didn't have a long life, but it still looks amazing. best looking iphone ever

5S was good

6 didn't have enough RAM for its high res screen. bad!

6S is good, for a clown phone

SE is obviously the best phone, duh.

7 is ok

8 is ok

X is bad

XS and XR are ok but are too big and don't have a button

the 4 was the first one to have a decent screen, surely that counts for something

and the 5 was the beginning of the end wrt loving about with screen size. the aspect ratio went from perfect to good, then when the 6 came out it went from good to only tolerable. its only been downhill from there

hmm the aspect ration is “worse” but also better because unlike a computer half the screen you’re looking at is the part your fingers cover. the ration on the 4 left little room for text when typing. 5 is perfect rational

I was going to make a joke about your body being a 4 but I felt bad so I won't

problem with small phones (normal phones) now is that the interface for everything is huge and would need to shrink to fit

the se is perfect hand size imo but WHITESPACE and emoji bars take precedent

one of the great triumphs of the iphone design is that they came right out of the gate with precisely the right set of buttons. that was at a time when most phones had far too many, but apple also resisted the impulse to remove buttons willy-nilly, and in fact *added* (compared to most phones at the time, and now for that matter) a button in the excellent physical mute switch

even with the larger screens resulting dropping touchid remains really dubious

I can more or less guarantee iPhone will eventually get rid of volume buttons.
(they'd do the power button at the same time if there weren't a law requiring it in case your battery is spitting acid in your pocket)

LibCrusher posted:

I used to hate the idea of the 8, but it turns out not having a 3.5mm isn’t a huge deal as long as you have good Bluetooth headphones. that said I really prefer touchID to faceId

Wait new iPhones with no home button don't have a fingerprint reader on the back and you have to use faceID? Lmfao

How much would it have cost them to add a back fingerprint reader to a loving $1200 cell phone? 4 dollars USD?

still lolling that some androids still can be beat by printed photos

tbh the best part of the fingerprint reader was setting it to unlock on click and being instantly on the homescreen. it was easy security and fast access and faceid did away with all that convenience

for the ipad its good and fast but on the phone angle and orientation matter and its just not as fast or seamless

I was phoning someone minding my own business when all of the sudden the ol’ iPhone 6 decided “yeah nah, moo cow, this kick rear end convo is over!” and shut down the phone for no reason.

the battery is probably too old and can't supply enough voltage during peak loads, updating to the latest 12.x should fix that or you can just get the battery replaced by apple too
