"Literally almost everything you said are advantages"

Wow man! So Crippled OS(u accept), crippled design (fugly notch, protruding cameras, history of extremely mediocre screen to body ratio, heavy brick weight, low resolution ppi bland screen), crippled hardware (Low ram, no dual sim, no sd, no 3.5mm jack, no fingerprint scanner, premature battery, terrible cam, monio audio, no non apple BT functionality ).
Crippled user experience(no smart features) all these are advantages in apple world?
Surely a world of retards n dumbf*cks who like to cling on to outdated age old tech for 1500$!!

"No wonder that you are perplexed of how Apple increases revenues while Samsung decreases them"

Nah...unlike appleTurds..i have a brain to understand their shrewdness of over pricing everything from their phones to accessories and befooling stupid program packages in the name of service!
Not to mention the sly idea of singlehanded proprietorship in the name of closed..crossplatform unfriendly..medieval OS dependent eco system u pay for. Other big OEMs offer so much more n ease yet pricetag is far behind apple.

Where's ur fast charger in that 1500$ box? plz dnt try to defend as 'u dont need it'.. rest of the world is enjoying the shit outta its speed. Somehow earphone wires were problem for u guys...yet having to keep ur phones plugged in for 3hrs to charge is preferable over wirless QC..Lmao..CrApple logic!


In almost everything you are literally wrong.

Crippled Os: Agree, only thing you got right.

Design: Only phone below 6 inches w more than 80% Stb ratio without cheating (no curved sides. A notch that uses a space that is mostly used for nothing else)
No chin

Hardware: High Ram given the needs of ios. 4GB in ios is like 8gb in Android. Very few androids have 8GB. Nobody cares about Sd w 512GB option, yes dual sim. No need for fingerprint scanner, nobody would use it if they have the chance of passive biometrics. It's like wanting a Fiat all the while you were given a Ferrari. Use it and get over it! 3.5mm is irrelevant, it also does not support floppy drives. Use an adapter, get over it. Battery, again, ios needs less of it (sandbox design).

    The only difference after it died was that more iPhone size options became available. And apple maps became safer

        Anonymous, 16 Sep 2018Lol fanboys in denial. Literally almost everything you s... morewell a notch which is an idiotic and useless idea was really hard to place all needed icons in 2 side of it! (if you disagrees ask apple designers!)
        no chain ha? well it make phone much more fragile and harder to hold and use!(ask X's users how many times they had an un-intentioned touch?)
        "Nobody cares about Sd w 512GB option" are you serious? there are hell lot of people who cares about SD option!
        "No need for fingerprint scanner" are you f**king kidding? using STH like apple's 3D face which can be fooled by a mirror? or by a similar face? i and a lot of other people prefer to use STH much more accurate than shit which is no use!
        is a phone supposed to support floppy? NO! but a phone which claim to have HQ sound quality must have support 3.5mm!
        "Battery, again, ios needs less of it (sandbox design)." oh my GOD!
        since when sand boxing means any thing too use less energy? do you have a single idea what sandbox design means?
        let me open it a little bit up for you: sand box design means every app has it's own environment which it can run inside it and it is a job of os to share Resources to this mini os's which if any thing goes wrong it may lead to total system failure(the thing's latly happens with ios 11 and 12) the only advantage of this system is no app has access to other app data which can be addressed with other way and less complexity! so Basically this type of programing uses much more battery than others.(also it is a little simpler for app developers to develop this sort of apps)
        the only reason iphones have good battery life is they can disable much of mentioned sand boxes which give them much more standby time. also another reason for not using high power cpu and gpu!

            Well i said it many times.
            Since Jobs is dead all thats Apple makes innovative its pricing.
            Rest is keeping worse and worse each year.
            Small batteries, Notch, No Jack. No fast charging, and many else.
            Huge prices are worst. If we iagine chinese labourers makes these phones and earns a dent of what earn USA labourer. And the prices are insanely high.
            But if we imagine the fact if the Apple is made in USA where labourers earns 5-10 times per hour as chinese even old Apple 3GS would cost several thousdants.

              Apple is good in two things: making already excisting features a little better and, price their hardware insanely high. I can add a third one, though. Long software support. That's it.

                lol

                People denying the importance of the first iphone in the business is hilarious.
                If it wasnt for it, android would be ended as a blackberry clon.

                            I bought my HD2 the same time 3GS came out. Mine was better in every aspect for my usage pattern. Back then, apple fanatics skipped the "i" and called it the fastest phone ever..
                            Got to commend apple, though, for knowing their limits back then and now.

                                The team at MyOrigo also visited Apple at the company’s headquarters in Cupertino in the spring of 2002. «We thought we’d briefly visit Cupertino before our flight back home. Our priorities lied elsewhere entirely. Apple was not a cell phone manufacturer at the time, nor did it have its current superstar status.»

                                After Väänänen had spent 10 minutes presenting MyDevice to Apple’s user interface team, Steve Jobs walked in. «He did not say hello to anyone. He just picked up our phone and started tapping away. It seemed he was particularly interested in browsing. He kept swiping. He said that it isn’t very accurate. And he was right; it was nowhere near the iPhone 7 in that regard,» Väänänen laughs.

                                Jobs seemed to have taken an interest in the smartphone. Asked whether Apple was planning on building a phone of its own, Jobs said no. «We went there and didn’t think much of it.» MyOrigo’s sights were set on top players, like Motorola, Ericsson, and Samsung.

                                    Iphone 6s is the last best iphone for me. Starting iphone 7, competitions are much more better on the other brand, & cheaper, by a lot. Heck even last Honor 8 pro, at a flagship budget pricing, is on par in camera picture quality, both in daylight and low lights compare to iphone 7+ which double the price.

                                    Yes they perform better, but at what cost? Just a mili seconds faster? That dont justify the pricing. And today, the pricing is just effing crazy on the next level.

She just dont care about these things. User experience she cares and never want to own a iphone. She didnt want it even when it was offered for free as a work phone. And i think that these are the average people as my mom dont look for reviews and so on and she works in IT.
