ahem;
This is your list of features that you do not like. Not sure what the confusion is.
Why does a thread about iOS updates always devolve into one about either RCS or AI, anyways? Why can't we all speculate about UI changes that'll never happen?
Not interested and not required is different from not liking, but I do admit, I hate emojis.
Thankfully, RCS is not forced onto people, even Googles on messages app have a way of disabling it. Still many phones out there that don't use apps, I know a few people myself who have a non-smart phone. One of them is still using a nokia 3310 and another is using a phone that cost around £24, the problem these days is findning a provider who will offer just voice and text for a decent price, most of the time these people have to get a sim with data attached just to get a decent price and never use the data.
The reason why this ended up being about AI is because the title is about AI,
These 10 New AI Features Are Coming in iOS 18
But the original article had MacOs 15 in, which is why I posted. Not sure why RCS came into it.
I posted to say I don't want AI on my Mac and will stay on macOS 14 if they pushed AI on MacOS 15, but we will see if the M2 pro chip will be support the AI stuff.
Phone wise I expect I will keep my Opp for as long as it carry working, it still gets security updates now and again, but I doubt it will ever get feature updates again, so no chance of AI stuff being pushed onto it.
When it goes belly up, I will look at my options and also what my saturation is at the time, at the moment I am working, so I can afford to pay more for a phone and even get a Iphone, but I have said to myself over the last few years, what is the point?
I need a phone to chat to people, browse the net, text, maybe take the odd photo or video, I have better cameras than any phone. Use apps to do things and that is it. How would paying £400 minimum for an Iphone or even that price for an Android phone improve any of the stuff I do above, compared to my £120 odd phone?
Also, if I lost, dropped or broke a £400 phone I would not be happy, while doing the same thing to a £120 phone would not be great, at least it is a lot cheaper.
When I see the price of the latest Iphone being over £1300, I think are people really that crazy to pay that much for a phone? I know some people get it in a package, but they still must be paying stupid money every month.
It is not just Iphones at these silly prices, I have seen Samsung phone as well and an honor folding phone at nearly two grand.
I have seen how these folding phones end, and it is not good, my Nephew has or had a Samsung one, not even 18 months, and it started to fail, it would not fold out flat.
My favourite smartphone was my old Huawei p10 lite, small and worked well, just a shame the battery started to fail and also the USB socket would not hold the plug in, but the phone was over 4 years old.
Hoping me Oppo will last as long if not longer, 6-7 years if possible.
