Good luck in finding the answer that resonates with you. The "spare me your thinking" was totally unnecessary in a friendly discussion.
Oh, just the thing pros prefer for lowest latency, highest bit rate and best fidelity without worrying about the battery dying after a few hours.
In a normal discussion/situation I would totally agree with you and I would even apologize but I’m getting tired of this passive aggressive responses by not answering the question but repeating the same old mantra just to annoy you in an passive aggressive way.
It's something you need for the 99% of audio gadgets, so you can get that amazing studio sound quality without latency and batteries, you know what I mean?
Huge?? It’s tiny compared to the top and bottom bezels on the old iPhones with home buttons.
Lol my thoughts too. Sure the bezels are slightly larger than the XS but it doesn’t feel that different.
“Pros” would never rely on a DAC/AMP built into a mobile device. They simply don’t have anywhere near the output to drive any truly professional quality headphones (output as in power level or ability to drive complex loads).
I’m curious, do you actually own any high-end headphones? None of the ones I have sound good on any mobile device.
If you want better quality sound or less radiation in your head then sure lol.
Not as funny as people who actually think there’s not much difference between iOS and Android. Why do you need a developer to explain things to you? There are numerous articles about this issue (one of them previously linked by Abazigal that you apparently didn’t read because you never really commented on it). Or perhaps you don’t agree with their conclusions and are looking for alternative opinions?
Here’s a couple examples:
Android Q will no longer allow developers to find out your IMEI or device serial number. Think about that one for a minute.
Android has APIs to allow developers to access your phone call log or SMS messages. iOS doesn’t. You could do some next level spying with these.
Android Q is finally adding the “While Using” permission. So now you aren’t forced to grant or deny permissions and worry about Apps doing things like location tracking in the background.
If you stated Android is starting to catch up to iOS in regards to privacy, you would be correct. But to state they’re almost equal is flat out wrong.
People can argue if they prefer S10 or Xs but It’s a FACT that S10E is a superior device compared to Xr.
only a blind fanboy would try to argue otherwise.
I’ll take S10E over ugly,budget,low res,single camera Xr anytime,anyday.

S10 range simply bettered Xs/Xr design.
Fact.

compare it to real thin bezels of S10 and you will also see it’s huge.

Ok they’re not huge any way you look at it. Bigger than S10? Yes. But nowhere near “huge”. But I’ve always been of the opinion that this whole shrinking bezels craze has been a little overboard.
My last two upgrades have been the previous years model and that will continue as long as Apple keep on giving us overpriced minimal upgrades. I’d rather have all the features but save money. My 8+ might look a little dated in appearance but in terms of performance and what it can do, it’s doing everything a current iPhone is going to do. It might come to it where I just don’t upgrade and go sim only too.
It’s quite painful watching the likes of Samsung bring out phones that appear really interesting and impressive and then we defend Apples attempt through preference over iOS knowing it’s below par. They need to sort their pricing and direction out IMHO.
So my counter question, what are you saying that’s ‘better’ about the S10 phone over the iPhone? Not that you don’t have your reasons, but you didn’t post anything to lead the reader why you believe what you do.
(I.e. Is it the fingerprint sensor under the display, the return of the 3.5 mm Jack, expandable storage, etc.)
I always like to think that ‘better’ is a subjective term, because it completely varies what you consider better over what the next person might disagree with. I think Apple and Samsung make outstanding phones, but the experience doesn’t start at the hardware, it begins with the software [iOS/Android] and that is what devotes the user to stay loyal. The reason I say that, is because I think a lot of people think it’s all about the hardware, when it is not. Hardware is superficial, at least in today’s smart phone era, when it is now more about the stability and fluidity of the software.
If you get rid of animations the a12 once again beats the 855. Apples animations are what hinders speed tests. My jailbroken x beats my s9+ with both animations off. So I expect my max to beat my future note 10 once substrate is enabled and I can remove animations
You can get the s10e even cheaper right now. Samsung is offering up to 550 dollar trade in on the s10e on their main website.
If only there was a way to keep that old legacy technology alive in 2019 for those of you that really need it
Oh wait

Talk about beating a dead horse
Oh, there are so many ways to go about arguing why the Xr is better. I don’t even know where to begin...
Still didn't answer my question on how you charge your phone while using that adapter.
Wireless charging?Still didn't answer my question on how you charge your phone while using that adapter.
You place your phone in the wireless charger stand with your wired earbuds in your ears? I'd pay to see that.
