Don't whine, just don't buy Apple products, very zimple!! What is wing with people? Corporation is heartless profit making (at the cost of anything) machine. They don't care your reasoning!
I won't but Apple iPhones, I have no complaints as well! What a peaceful experience!!

Mine is that developers from Apple has learned whoto anoy people with adds. Force the purchases for a subpar software. And now are camping like no were over there with rights..... so it does not matter if you start at one or the other, you arrive sooner or later at the same bite. At least on Android you have the possibility to avoid it. Well to be fair in this case bite= the same shit.

Main problem is there are no proper alternative to iOS.
All android makers actually try to attempt making iOS like device and end up adding RAM, battery etc etc - but I have nit came across any android app from any manufacturer that is as good as ios app(including google's own apps). Ultimately apps makes a phone better right?
Unless google makes tight guideline to follow - nothing good gonna happen to android.
Example see samsung's duplicate app store which is nothing but android's 2/3's app market(they copied it and continuing that ugly market )

Yeah, remember that 64gb is kinda mid-range nowadays.
The new standard for flagships without SD slot is 128GB.

Soon all Android flagships will follow Apple's footsteps with the pricing. Good luck to us all when getting new phones next year.

It is not just the storage... Apple is making more money and more money from everything that they offers... What could be the better example than the Slow bundled Charger and omition of the Dongle... Sigh! for those who still believes Apple is Worth...

Who buys iphone XS has no logical or technical reason. They want just to show off, to have in hand "the 1500 $ toy", and everyone to recongnize it at a glance. It is a device for people with very low self esteem, frustrated, in many cases followed by the ghost of poorness from their childhood or teenage period. All my friends being obssessed with apple products are like this.

Haidy, 24 Sep 2018Literally everyone knows tht they overcharge but still...
... moreNote 9 is also overcharging and it is far lower quality.
Snapdragon 845 is a joke especially compared to A12 (it was already beaten by A11)
Worse battery life despite the 4000 Mah battery (mrwhosetheboss tests for example)
Ancient unlocking mechanism
Incredibly tall for no reason at all (hat and chin that are literally useless)
Qiuite worse camera
Far less upgrades (as all Note phones compared to I phones).
And the list goes on. There is one clear advtange and that is the microSD supports ... And that's it.
It's incredible howuch backing Samsung a still gets over here , despite the Chinese having caught up at half the price.
Apple indeed does overprice. But it is also the best phone in the biz so it co es with the territory.
I know fandroids will come out of the woods defending whatever is their favorite phone. But honestly they have majorly dropped the ball. Can't follow apple anymore (used to be top dogs, these days they are poodles , giving a free reign to apple to overcharge). It's bad for them, it is bad for competition.

I dont care price. I buy every new iphone every year and buy other colors after 6 monghs so i use all of them. I just love to support the company even though i almost spend half of my income to their products including ipads every color option. I just love their products.
Btw, my car costs less than my i9 Macbook Pro , means i am not rich.
