So I was only mentioning people can buy what they want. Same thing u was arguing about with me. But u should be questioning others on here why they questioning what people buy. There seems to be alot of them but u rather question me instead :D

Whether it's an android phone or an iphone their money they can do what they want with it. My response is to people who get angry what others spend their money on. Read next time before u comment. And the post of mine u commented on, I was talking about my own personal usage in response to a previous comment and it was directed at him and not to the general public. Definitely read before u comment :D

          You have your opinion and there is no need to force it on others like it's the most DIVINE opinion ever.

If I want to buy an iphone I'd buy an iphone. If I want to buy a Ferrari I'd buy one if I can afford it. It's all about affordability. If u like something u buy if u want to. Don't know why u and others get angered by it. Everything we buy any product can be inflated too but people shop at supermarkets even though there are many cheaper shops such as the pound shops scattered all throughout the UK. But people still shop at more costly places. Again it's about affordability. Maybe u should go and protest in the shopping centres too why people are wasting their money when they can get similar products cheaper elsewhere :D

Torrenting can be done on pc not bothered if can't torrent on phone. With previous jailbreaks Torrenting was done on iphones but some things I prefer to do on pc. All the other things u mentioned, the iPhone excels in, whether it's video editing and all the other things u mentioned. Do some research and u will know. Yes some things android will be better at but not other things. Obviously with ur name calling ur opinion is irrelevant. Just another hater with issues :D

                i still want to buy an older phone 2016,2017 phone but which one is better in photo taking iphone 7+ vs samsung s8+ vs huawei p10+ camera thanks"

                  Tech-savvy WILL NOT even consider buying iphone X, let alone XS / XS Max / XR.

                  Why? Because the A12 Bionic, although superior, can't even show its true potential with the SUPER-RESTRICTIVE iOS,..
                  On the other hand, Exynos, Kirin, Snapdragon, although fall short in CPU prowess compared to A12, they made flagship SoCs to complement & strengthen the versatility of Android OS, making a TRULY CAPABLE, ALL-ROUNDER smartphone which could do task done in PC before (video editing, photo editing, making documents, managing & archiving files, making comics, even torrenting).
                  Furthermore, u could chose which brand & model fit ur needs & budget, UNLIKE iphones.

                  Tech savvy prefers to buy:
                  a smartphone with DECENT PRICE but high performance and
                  a laptop for more serious work which is around the same price as XS Max

                      So tell me mate if the price of eggs shot up to 2000$ per piece just coz it's high protein and is edible for all would you still justify the price as ppl's choice and "if you can't afford it don't sweat" statements?

                      I compared iphone to eggs cuz its nothn spcl apart from being a regular fone just like a regular diet and not a car/bike/diamond bling that justifiably costs so much.

                      Did u get the point? or am i gonna see another of those "fandroid needs help cant afford spamming apple" replies? Then you dear need some serious help for ur obsession with the devil's orchard.

If they happy with their old iphone and want a better iphone then they want what makes them happy. Most people buy iphone Bcuz they are happy using ios. And they want to stay with ios. So note 9 is out of the question.

I can do more with a car than a TV. I can't sit on a TV to take me shopping.
                          Maybe I can buy a bike instead of a car Bcuz I can buy more bikes than one tv or 1 car. Or maybe I'll save money and buy a skate board. We can go on forever.
                          If somebody wants to buy a TV or a bike or a car or an android phone or an iphone then who are u to get annoyed? U don't matter ur views don't matter.

If somebody wants to buy an iphone then it's their choice. It's nothing got to do with you. If somebody can afford an iphone and a 4k tv then even better. And I can cast everything from an iphone to a smart tv without any problem. Don't understand why others get upset what people spend their money on. It's hilarious :D

                              I'll be honest. The new iphones are great devices, but totally not deserving their price tags.

                              For price of a senior i phone, you're able to get 2 Galaxy Notes or 4 Oneplus 6's or 6 Mi Pocophones, something has gone terribly wrong, right?

                              See Note 9, excellence in audio and cameras quality both, plus its far more versatile and flexible, can function as a pc too without dock for presentations and all... Name one thing Note 9 can't do, in 5 seconds, can you?
                              iPhone might be overall better than Note 9, but count in the price, and the equation is as clear as a crystal.....

I'd rather have one in the kitchen, one in the master's bedroom and one in the living room/theater room than waste money on an obscenely priced iPhone that can't even screen share wirelessly the high quality photos and 4K 60fps videos captured by the phone to the smart tv. iPhone XS Max costs more than a 65" 4K UHD smart tv! Don't you get that? That's pure insanity especially since iPhones are crippled, restrictive, limited, archaic/jurassic devices that are made of silicon and zero gem stones or precious metals, and worse, get outmodeled and replaced after 365 days!
