Yeeees, bring it!
Realistically? Go and buy a decent DLSR or mirrorless, a nice telephoto lens, tripod, remote, star tracker, etc, and stop taking silly, boring moon pics with a phone.
That said, it is pretty awesome how phone cameras keep getting better and better. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you. An iPhone Pro is tempting me, purely for the higher quality night life party pics I'd be able to take.
I mean, it’s more equal these days but 30+ years ago Volvo was significantly safer than most cars.
Hell, Volvo designed the 3-point seat belt that you have in your car now and made it open so everyone could use it.
Are Volvos still the safest car? Largely yes but they’ve done so much to bring the entire market to the same standard.
Sooooo….
lovely video, but when you know what you are actually signing up for. Depression hits like a truck
Yup. Android users like to poke fun at these videos, but they are made for the “layman” rather than tech freak like most people here. I am a dedicated Apple user, but show me something better and I might just jump ship….(nah….)
To be fair the IIHS web site gives a better overall rank to the Volvo's. That pesky Lower leg/foot injury in the Tesla only ranked it acceptable, compared to good for the Volvo's.
I'm not doing either of those things. Do you have an actual argument?
Watching a YouTube video is too much for them.
Bring it on for Android, not iOS, thank you very much.
Not that I remember of, no.
Wake up! It's 2022!
Nikon will reportedly join Canon in ending development on high-end DSLR cameras
Smaller, lighter mirrorless cameras have mostly caught up to DSLR image quality.

No, I assume it's common sense that you can just purchase one for a couple of bucks. 🤷♂️
In what world is that true? If anything, the average experience is quite the opposite.
Yes, exactly. Some people just don't get it... 🤦♂️
I assume it'd be more comparable if the background listening service was turned off on the Android smartphone.
First, define successful. I am never buying another iPhone that is larger than my 13 mini, yet it is going away so I only like features that are unsuccessful? But still, Apple made millions of dollars off the 12/13 mini. Not successful enough for you?
Second, why does switching to an iPhone have to be because something about it is "successful"?
Your "Apple is the only one on the top tier" colors are showing.
If I switch to iPhone:
Will my purchases from the Google AppStore transfer over?
Can I bring my older 32 bit apps over to the iPhone?
Will I have RTS text message capability?
Can I side load apps from third-party developers?
Can I expand the storage by inserting a SD card?
Does the iCloud storage match the storage capacity of the iPhone?
Can I load apps from my computer?
Am I able to download apps from my iPhone to my computer?
Will my Google earbuds have full functionality on my iPhone?
Does the iPhone have under the screen fingerprint sensor?
Does the iPhone have 50 megapixel camera?
Can I use my existing USB-C charger on my iPhone?
How well does the iPhone sync with my Windows 11 computer?
Will I still be able to airplay from my iPhone to my Google Chromecast devices?
Am I able to load antivirus on my iPhone?
What kind of dongles do I need to purchase for my iPhone that I don’t need for my android device?

Phones aside, where are you getting the idea that Volvos aren’t safer than other cars are? A few decades ago they were definitely one of the safest and most reliable car brands and while other brands have caught quite a bit up nowadays, Volvos are still known for their safety AFAIK
signing up for the “iOS experience” ( will never Have the freedom , ever again) has it’s short comings. And it’s not your place to doubt how people feel about this os.

When did they do that? Don’t just repeat old memes. When did Apple claim to invent something that they copied from Android, in recent years?
No, I mean, they only designed their own CPU and such small things..
That’s not due to device security.
What would that achieve? People could use tinfoil or a hammer.
The default is 6 digits, so that’s on your wife. Also, since attempts are rate limited it’s not something you can simply brute force. Alphanumeric passcodes are also an available option.
It asks for passcode when changing FaceID.
So, until Apple implements everything on some arbitrary personal list of yours it’s not only not perfect, no it’s just “BS and marketing“, got it
I can’t get my husband to switch over. I wish he would. But he just doesn’t want to upgrade his phone. He’s had the same phone since 2017. We are such a contrast. I upgrade every year and he keeps the same phone for 5 years lol
To be fair the zoom lense on the Samsung ultra is really good. It’s not a gimmick and can’t wait for the iPhone to get a periscope lens in 2023. However it’s not worth switching over or getting a second device.10x telephoto? How far do you stand from your subject? A kilometer?
If you care so much about zoom and photo quality, get a DSLR, not an Android phone😂
Also, how often do you take photos of the moon? Lol.
Last I heard Google had far higher quality satelite photos than your peasant Android phone camera could ever imagine. Click > download.
Heres a 209-Megapixel moon photo taken from an Astrophotographer.

Is that enough or are we still pretending Apple invented everything?
greed really has no end does it? they have like 40% of users yet they want more.
Functionality wise iphone is great but I really do not like 2 companies controlling the global market, we really do need more competition here. Same on desktop., at least on desktop linux can function decently for home users albeit the apps always looks like they are in beta form.

You are.
Care to read my last messages again and find out... or send another one of your pictures again if you find that enjoyable.
I am amused by all the snarky responses here.
It’s increasingly clear from strong iphone sales that Apple’s strengthening ecosystem (i.e. wearables) is likely responsible for drawing Android users to iPhone for the first time. Smartphone industry weakness is also at play as competitors find it harder to stand out on the feature front.
Pointing out how the iPhone doesn’t let you do stuff like sideload apps ignores the inconvenient truth that said feature simply doesn’t matter to the majority of smartphone users, be they on iOS or Android.
At the end of the day, users are not going to miss what they don’t need. Bury your heads in the sand all you want. You cannot deny what is to come.
