Yes, in some cases sure. But overall the A10 is going to smoke the Qualcomm chip in the S8. It's just a better design for the purpose at hand, massively more powerful per core. Whether your life is easier is highly subjective. Apple's raw performance advantage really isn't.
funny.... As soon as someone critizes the iPhone, you are automatically are an Android troll here.
You can use your current wired headphones with iPhone 7 out of the box.
In the past year or two, I've had roughly 40 phones. A lot of them were Android's to try out new devices. Personally, I will never go back to Android because of their app situation and unreliability. I'm getting older and I just don't have the time nor patience to tweak all the billion settings on an Android phone to get it to work like I want it to. I much prefer the simplicity of iOS, with FaceTime and iMessages. At least 98% of the people I talk / text with have iPhones. Funny I say that, I can't remember the last time I seen a green text bubble.
If you look at the teardown there is an empty space where the left speaker ought to be, we shouldn't have to spend money on or fumble with adapters when Apple could have just included the darn thing.
I was once like you. Then I got a job where I have to use various Android devices throughout the day and I can tell you, Android is ugly and uninspired. It really makes you appreciate what goes into making iOS so seemless and subtle in its beauty.
You mean where the taptic engine is? Since you have headphones right there just go ahead and hold the jack up to the bottom of the phone and take a look and see if you REALLY think there is room for a headphone jack.
I wonder what kind of mugs would they lure with this stupid, fake crap.
No..... The marketing team that created this campaign won't be aware of the next iPhone (because of Secrecy).
Uh huh, go ahead and try it. Chances are you'll realize how GOOD it is for your operating system to be "structured and boring." I've tried top-of-the-line Android devices many times and everytime I come back it's like going back home. Everything just works across all of my devices and the experience is so smooth.
Androids getting better.
However, that's just it, Google made a dive in a cliff but offering a lot in early days and are now going back to fix their OS and features. As a developer, that's bad. They'll get there one day though, hopefully.
It's not an issue with Android rather an issue with manufacturers. Look at the Pixel, Android can be amazing.
Likewise some think iOS is ugly and uninspired.
No, I'm specifically referring to the Android experience. Everything from the colour schemes to the animations to the aesthetic of the apps it attracts. Just doesn't compare to iOS.
You somehow remind of those blackberry messenger App Store reviews from a couple years back...
except that I either need to keep the dongle on my phone, which is impossibly ugly and damaging, or buy several extra dongles so that each headphone has a dongle attached. (background, I keep a pair of headphone in my office, one in my car, one on the night stand and one in the sitting room, this way I have a pair at reach no matter where I am)
Who the hell would want to do that? Who still use those?
I don't know about sledgehammer89 but I use USB drives frequently, as well as other USB devices (mouse, keyboard, audio interface, etc).
I have done that several times since the power button was moved from the top to the side.
Not really sure how any of these ads would spur any desire to switch. They're cute and fairly benign. If Apple really wanted to get more Android users to switch, there's one big thing that would help make that happen: default app choice.
