ohhhh I don’t know about that. I think this is a non iPhone user speaking.
It's a good thing that we complain, we are after all Apple customers most of us, and nothing's perfect, right?
). 
And I’m still pissed off that I have lost a TB4 port in exchange for a pointless hdmi port and a pointless sd card reader, let alone the addition of a further charging port. Utterly pointless waste of space considering usbc/tb4 can convert to what you like.It's a good thing that we complain, we are after all Apple customers most of us, and nothing's perfect, right?
Just because I question something Apple related doesn't mean I have to jump ship. Hell if I did that with all things in life I disagree on, I'd have a full time job jumping ships (and complaining the hell out of the crowded harbours!
I get what you mean of course - sure there are a lot of people here who maybe just should try Android, but there are people who always complain, loudly, over everything. Anybody recognize a person they've met (hopefully not in the mirror) who never ever is satisfied with anything and think that everybody's against them? Yep, though so. They're on here too.
For the rest of us, being a critic, trying to get the most out of the products we use and/or love, is a good thing. Apple do listen sometimes you know.
Apple would NEVER let the ports back on the Macbooks if people didn't complain. Never. Not until they saw sales dipping, maybe then. But the Macbooks sold like hot cakes for years with a lousy keyboard and too few ports. We all adopted the adapter, Satechi et al made a frikkin fortune selling dongles.
Complain, constructively, please!. In the end, if Apple does something I really can't accept, then I'll happily vote with my wallet. But not without complaining.
Yep... It's funny how really, the religious computer wars have died down and been replaced with these religious smartphone wars. Every time I'm around a group where someone talks about getting their new phone, it turns into this whole "Are you an Android user or one of those iPhone people?" question and debate.
Can't win them all. Regarding the ports, I actually did not complain, it was fine for me. But I'm really glad that the SD-card slot is back now that I bought a new camera, and to have Magsafe AND still use usb-pd charging is a good thing IMO. At home I use the Magsafe cable, when out traveling I use whatever usb-c cable and charger I keep in my bag. Generally I agree, single use ports is a bit silly these days, but having both charging options is all of the two worlds! The hated Magsafe-in-bed-disconnect-because-soft-bedsheets is over, just use a usb-c cable. The hated Macbook-flying-through-the-air-because-my-cat is also over, just use the Magsafe cable.
Well number two is part of what the iPhone does better than android. My 2 year old son can operate it. So can his 95 year old grandma.
I purchased a Pixel 6 Pro twice a few months apart. I bought the second one thinking things would get better as time went on. It was a horrible experience. Not necessarily Android but the phone itself. Lots of bugs, the fingerprint scanner was horrible. I lost the ability to make calls and text people routinely. Google Assistant would barely work on the phone and if I put it on a wireless charger the Assistant would never activate. The screen would stop turning on upon picking up the device or touching the screen. I had to use the power button. I am sure Google is slowly fixing these issues with updates but from reading forums there still seem to be many issues. I will stick with my iPhone. Sure it has some problems occasionally but it is generally very reliable. Nothing like the horrible experience I had with the Pixel. Never again.
I can’t answer for most, but no not really for me. I love the processing power of the things. They’re amazing machines. But gimped like the old days with ports I can’t or don’t need to use. There’s no excuse to swap out a port that can do anything and add in single use ports. None. I’m not chucking it in the bin, but it’s a weird mix of extreme advancements mixed with agressive regressions. IMO. Obvs.
Which means ? Did you decide to not buy a smart phone this year, neither did you last year and the year before ? Then indeed your money remains your. Other you sent it to a big corporation of your choice.
They probably misuse the iOS deep linking functionality appname:// and simply try the most used ones out.
So you don’t buy things cos of what reasons? Giving your money? Well I don’t know what to say. That’s the essence of buying something. You’re right, keeping it in your savings account means you get nothing but a few p interest a year. Dont be fooled though. People with far bigger agendas and with far more shadowy intent than Mr. Cook are using your money for profit whilst it’s sitting there in you account. Much much more than the measly few pence you’re making per year with interest.
Aside from your obvious lack of knowledge (iOS has a native calculator app) - your points are valid for some people’s use cases. Not sure how many are crying out for most. The biggest - background updates - is being addressed with the newest iOS I believe.
Ymmv, as ever.1) i meant that when i lost iphone, i used backup on another identical (used) iphone just for not wasting time. i consider restoring from backup and/or migrating settings as "dirty" installs so i use it in very rare cases, like that one above. Never with a new device (phone, pc, everything)
2) This is very subjective. My mom had androids for years, then, finally, i convinced her to get an iphone. Now its about one year she has it and every time says that next phone will be an android, again. BTW i bet my mom it's more noob than your 2 years old son
I had a 6P too but that was a different time. That era is over. Also it didn't last very long, started doing the early shutdown thing and eventually became too unstable to use regularly. Had a Samsung Galaxy S5 that was instant regret. Went back to iPhone because you just cannot get a true flagship phone on Android, they don't exist. Sure they're fine for a year or so but then the problems stack up and the support drops out.
This might be unpopular. But this kind of interoperability between OSes can only be a good thing for the consumer when switching between iOS and Android or vice versa.
Apple has its own Move to iOS app for Android devices, which is the counterpart to Google's app. Designed for Android switchers, it allows for the transfer of messages, contacts, calendar events, photos, and more.
That’s not iOS. That’s a different OS. That’s like complaining that iOS doesn’t have FCP. Or that perhaps Linux doesn’t have Photoshop. You can very easily calculate using spotlight on iPadOS, you get one of a multitude of calculator apps on the AppStore. My favourite on iOS or iPadOS is pCalc. It’s on macOS too but I don’t use it there, still - It’s excellent and very much betters apples native option in every way. Try it instead of worrying about it.
