iOS users don’t constantly feel a need to shit on Android, just Android users do it for some reason

Nobody really cares about “tinkering” with phones, they just want it to work reliably for a long time. This is where iPhones succeed.

I worked at T-Mobile and I can guarantee you that majority of customers who upgraded their phones did so because they liked a color on the new phone, even if the specs were almost the same and the phone had the same size and number of cameras

Isn’t it hard to use without a case? It’s slippery and not very grip friendly. I have AppleCare+ but still use a case for this reason plus that the phone won’t stay on car dashboards without something more grippy on it.

Isn't that what this post is?

13 lineup does not have plain black. It is deep blue.

You are correct. My observation doesn’t include your comment. Rather, it’s two distinct sets of customers

Competitive hardware? Their SoCs have destroyed the competition for years.

? They have offered that for years. Is black or white not plain enough?

I think he’s trying to say that they should give up on all the Face ID tech and just make a dot cutout and have the shitty face unlock that Androids have and that he thinks they work basically the same except for the fact that Face ID works in the dark? Which is funny coming from someone calling other people ridiculous

True. But in spite of those people, the overall upgrade cycle for iPhones is still longer than for other smartphones. Slightly outdated source but still: https://9to5mac.com/2019/02/08/four-year-smartphone-upgrades/

I’m not saying you’re exactly wrong, but is this really exclusive to Apple? What in particular does Samsung (or any Android manufacturer) have to offer that’s so groundbreaking or special?

I think it’s just the nature of the current market in general, and that continued refinement has led to a stagnation.

Oh I didn’t know this, so maybe it was a bad analogy. I don’t know much about cars but it looks decent from a quick google search.

What I was suggesting is, it’s not worth making the phone ugly just to not crack it.

New phones are pretty durable.

Nah but I had my iphone for 4-5 years.

I dunno, if my phone is 2 or 3 years old and I’m on the fence about upgrading… finding out a color I like is on the table might at least raise an eyebrow and be something I’d wanna see the details.

Not saying it’s like omg omg omg squealing, but yeah just… hey, neat.

You can swap iphone housings, for the average Joe it might be difficult, but there are tons of options. I had build a lime green iphone 7 back then, or you can even swap the backglas of the newer iPhones, I swapped my iphone 12 mini's backglas to an anime themed one.

Haven’t used a case since the 12 pro I got. They don’t break anymore.

So many upgrades, Apple 🍎 does it so well, I’ll take any color. Put black case on-ooooh

I think I'm for the iPad, something that gets more years of use than an iPhone, the mini-led is actually a better choice. OLED has short lifespans

New information suggests iPhone 15 will be a phone

The Fifa of phones is back again!
