Place where I live, people have even older cars and they work just fine.
And Mini isn't ugly, Stupid Phone with notch is.
You don't realize how much fun is to ride Mini.
Screw Apple.

I'd even take a used bike instead of that iPhone XS Max.
Android > car or bike > iPhone whatever.
Or maybe car or bike > Android > iPhone.
LOL!

I think that most of the people who opted for a car don’t actually own one. It takes money to maintain a car, and car that’s that cheap will definitley need maintaining and frequent repairs.
On top of everything you could get yourself killed or injured because of malfuncion of something on decades old cheap car.

Car that cheap is definitley a no-go for me. And yes, that car is ugly, and looks more like a car for a girl than a guy like me.
1500€ car is just asking for trouble, not only it will frequently need repairs, but also maintaining, registration... I will not even go into fuel efficiency, and you could lose your life on road with it aswell.
I would even take Note9 over that car.

Aston, 24 Sep 2018Can your phone record 4K@60? Can do slow mo at 1080p@240? D... moreTrue, but the question is: how often do you use this perks, how much improvement is compared, let's say, to a 1080P@60fps, where do you watch this video, on the phone or on a big monitor?
In many situations is like: "Hey, I have a formula One car, but I am driving it in (insert big city with heavy trafic) and will never need the real power, handling and aerodinamic coeficient, but I have trash mileage...get it?

" And the car is ugly. Unlike the iPhone XS Max."
The iphone XtraSmall Max (well thought out name) has notch so huge and ugly, apple tries to hide it inn a black background in most of their advertising matierial. It's so ugly, it's so awful even apple themselves are embarrassed and tries to pretend it's not there.
"In my closing statement I want to be clear - if we, as a community, think iPhone XS Max is overly expensive, we deserve to be treated with bloatware smartphones with dozens of useless apps, wrapped in a cheap plastic body. "
Congrats, on making the most vomit inducing comment I've seen this far on gsmarena!
Your very overly priced phone even comes with something as pathetic as a 5W charger in the box! When in the world was that even normal? 2012? Other flagships come with up to 50W charger these days.
The Mi A2 is an example of a phone with android one and great build quality, same body materials as any flagship. Aluminium or glass back phones do come cheap, very cheap even.
The pocofone F1, who I suspect you're trying to take a jab at, also passed jerryrig's durability test, unlike some previous apple flagship at a premium price.
Fun fact: replacement of the iphone XS Max's glass back is set to USD599, simply laughable! Not covering it with a case or cover would be a very silly thing to do. And you can't use a aluminimum back cover, then you loose the QI-charge.
Since we've seen nothing to indicate any changes since last documentary about working conditions and child labour as key ingredients of the iphone, so you better keep quiet and completely stop fronting this awful company.
The fact that you're even proud to buy this overpriced garbage is laughable. And you should knnow very well that you do get severly overcharged, this is why apple is the most valuable company and have the highest profit margins - ignorant customers buying expensive products because they're expensive. The owners and investors, with completely shattered moral compasses, just keeps smiling - knowing that their making the world a worse place, still brings a lot of money in their pockets.

I love the fact that people talk about apple hardware as premium but in the end all the parts are produced by someone else. Besides the processor nothing is unique and can be found on other phones for less money.

Can it play graphics heavy games @60fps? Does your phone has Dolby Vision/HDR10? Does your phone/OS has Continuity, HandOff and tons of other feature which people actually use? The list is endless. You just can’t compare.

So when u have Android u can install easly "Android ONE" - this is clean android without even Gapp's! So u prefer what to install. And also when u have bloatware u can install Root uninstaller, and you can remove all of them. Also u can download app's for free. Almost every Android mid-range phone have Q.C 3.0/4.0 adapter for charging, and at least 3.5mm Jack or Type-C to 3.5mm splitter! And my phone cost 140$ and its made from mettal body, also have 4000mAh battery FullHD+ resolution with 6" display and 440ppi destiny. My phone can made easly 2,5 days without charging and have good performance (Snapdragon 636). So tell me why i should buy this iShit?

If the phone isn't iPhone, may be if the phone is 512GB Note 9 which is packed with all the current, available premium features + fast charger and AKG headphones inclusive, may be,the vote might be somewhat justified.
But, I couldn't agreed more with 91% of the current voters to choose a car than a pay-more-for-less,mediocre phone! No need to be a brainer right?

maykelbembibre, 24 Sep 2018In my honest opinion it doesn't make any sense whatsoever t... moreThere's lot of reasons to buy iPhone
Sorry to hear your bad experience with wifi, i have had iPhones since 2009 and iPads since retina iPad. None of those 6 devices etc. have had zero problems with wifi.
