Lol I already bought a Surface Go (Best) to supplement my Apple ecosystem (I own nearly one of everything Apple makes in the past half decade or so, aside from what I deem is a 'dumpster fire' experience wise [home pod I am looking at you]).
I would never buy Samsung ‘garbage’ again especially after ‘experiencing’ Bixby and also returning a phone that could have exploded in my pocket.
*edit* editing on my Surface Go but I had to post initially on my iPhone 7+ 128GB Space Grey Unlocked because Microsoft Edge hates https://forums.macrumors.com/ apparently, lol. This website runs like hot garbage on this browser, which isn't surprising (that is, that Microsoft's Edge Browser is a dumpster fire, but it runs relatively well for 90% of the websites I frequent versus Google Chrome running like a Docker Whale if Docker was the opposite of a Linux container (like Windows OS? ROFL!).).

Haha way better RAM management, that's why we need 8 gigs in a phone. Right.
Guess the X out performs the Note9....

Though it is a nice phone, I do like my X better and dont feel compelled im missing out by the Note 9.
If only it had a fingerprint sensor underneath the display that would’ve been something innovative about it.

Probably why I've been told by the Geniuses that I shouldn't be trying to do so much with my phone because it can't handle real workload. Since been escalated to Apple and they ended up being unable to resource the cause so now I have a fourth replacement iPhone X.
Jeez sounds like you perhaps have wasted a ton of time trying to get the product to do something it wasn't designed to do. Should it not be 'Genii' ? Rofl
Sounds like a personal problem. I wouldn't keep going back to the same phone if it were having such issues. I can only speak for myself, but my X has been great since day 1.
"Probably why I've been told by the Geniuses that I shouldn't be trying to do so much with my phone"
Ehhh I highly doubt an Apple Store Genius used a 'stop word' like 'should not' - they're vehemently trained to refrain from using 'negative' language. I think you're kind of dressing your story up to inflate your sense of self worth / how much you legitimately use the phone past what it was actually designed to accommodate, reasonably, given the design of the product.
I think what you're perhaps attempting (you have a big opportunity for improvement, however) to convey here is that you have higher expectation of the iPhone that you chose to buy than the reality of what the iPhone X can actually do on a day to day basis.

They didn’t try and crack it because there’s no need to, it’s the same tech as before. That’s why it’s ‘no fun’ as they defeated it already.
Yeah, isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing repeatedly and perhaps expecting different results?
The store and Apple themselves were fully able to replicate the issue, but unable to tell me why or provide a fix. It's not some extravagant attempt to burn out the phone by any means. It's just web browsing, picture taking, messaging, and music playback.
It's a work phone and our department is more or less the face of the company and we have to have the latest and greatest to "inspire". Can't complain with free other than the device just doesn't function well for us.
It's honestly just a day phone I don't really get too carried away with it. Just very sluggish to respond to actions.
I don’t know what’s going on then because I do all of those things on my iPhone X and have no issues. I’ve been able to does things for years on my phones be the iPhone or Samsung galaxy devices.
You’re jumping the gun. The other difference you didn’t mention is that the note 9 is a year newer than the iPhone X. You can make a more fair comparison when the new iPhone comes out in september
Also, I know you probably get a kick out of spending hours customizing the layout of your home screen and making doodles on your phone, but I prefer to use the time spent on my phone getting shnt done. That’s why I choose iPhone.
And you can argue all you want about the Apple Watch being a hideous square toy. The FACT is that it destroys the galaxy watch in sales. If you like it great, but most people will disagree with you.
And yes, you are correct. Apples customer service is far superior to Samsung’s.
I wish iOS gets also a DeX mode. Sooo much more productive when using a Keyboard and Trackpad and see everything on a bigger screen.
Omg, this again?
What Apple did and the reason Samsung phones slow down have nothing to do with one another and you know it. One happens when the battery is no longer able to sustain the phone. The other one happens because the phone is a mess.
This is why I don't gamble with Samsung products, even if some of them sure seem nice.
Lol

LOLOLOL
How long did it take you to brainstorm this list of things that Samsung’s new phone has over Apple’s year-old model. Were you holding your breath the entire time? I get a kick outta you android fans that compare all your brand new Samsungs to the iPhone X that came out a year ago. Oh yeah, cuz that’s the only way you can compete. And yet, the N9 still falls short of the year-old X in benchmarks. You can add-on all the stupid accessories and peripherals to a phone that you want. More mahs. More megapixels. More storage. More RAM. But they’re only as good as the chipset and OS that makes them all work. Samsung tried so hard, pouring so much more into their phones to KEEP UP with Apple. And it ALWAYS comes up short. The iPhone X beats the N9, and that’s not even the N9s true competitor, which will be released this september. So yes, you are more than welcome to keep your mouth shut, at least until then.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
A few issues some people have do not reflect real world performance. All iPad Pros, and newer iPads, run exceptionally well. So do iPhones. But the things iPads pull off in photo editing and illustration software.... try some real-time liquify effects in, say, Affinity Photo and try to achieve that speed on any other device, including full desktop computers.... Crazy fast.

No, you're just making the statements you make and wearing that avatar, jeez.
