    As a person who has worked in telecom for over 15 years…shhhhhhhhh…

    You like android better? Cool. You like IOS better? Cool. They do essentially the same thing in different ways with different pros and cons. What works best for one person may not be for someone else.

    In 2024 if you’re arguing on the internet (or perhaps worse, in real life) about which phone is better you need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and take an assessment of your priorities.

    Also, because I love downvotes apparently, this also applies to windows/linux/mac OS. Unless I’m on my Mac like “Gee I sure wish this was more open source, if only there was an alternative.” I don’t need you telling me to switch to linux bro.

      It’s a relevant topic to talk about. You wrote so much yet said nothing except I don’t like seeing people talk down to apple users. Which i agree with a little but people will talk about relevant things like smart phone choice whether you like it or not.

      Also have you tried switching to linux?

      What about the need to tell others how to and what to discuss in their free time with their social circle? Can I do that?

    I would have shared the hell out of this meme on Facebook when I was ~18 years old.

    This looks like one of those PC/Console comparison memes from the early days of pcmasterrace. I like it!

    My ~230$ android phone has 120hz screen and very similar features. However, I had to turn the refresh rate back to 60 cuz it was chewing through battery. (5kma)

    Give me all the hate. But my iPhone has outlasted all of my friends on android. I’m still using the iPhone X.

    Now people who upgrade their phones yearly are wild to me.

      Depends on the brand. You can’t compare Android and Apple as you’re comparing an OS against a brand. You can however compare Android against iOS, and Sony against Apple.

      I use my android phones for many many years.

      Well, you have no reason to considering the innovations Apple provides are 3 years behind

      My note 9 from like 5 years ago still doing great. But I’m careful with it. I do think apple has sturdier construction.

    I can’t overstate how much I love that the Android phone used for example is one that I swapped for a newer phone just a couple of months ago

    user replaceable battery?

    I’m no apple fan, but some of these features don’t really mean much, like the screen refresh rate, data transfer rate, or codec support. Pretty small subset of users are going to care about these, the vast majority of people just browse, play simple games, and maybe run a map or spotify or whatever.

    That said, the 16 is built to use Apple’s AI, and that’s pretty much reason enough for me to not want to go anywhere near it. I’ll buy an older model before I support this AI crap.

    Android users won’t be able to reply.

    Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.

    Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.

    Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.

    And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.

    The USB transfer speed claim is misleading to say the least. The iPhone 15 was already capable of up to 10Gbps transfer speed (USB 3.0 support). You could quibble over the fact that the included cable didn’t support that (if only the USB-IF could get its shit together), but to claim the hardware doesn’t support it is a lie.

    Also, non-US iPhones support both physical SIM and eSIM.
