The accessory would wirelessly charge any iPhone 12 by slapping it onto the back.

Google will finally migrate to 64 bit. This will be the android 12. All 32 bit smartphones will NOT be able to use GOOGLE SERVICES anymore. ALL 32 BIT APPS on the PLAYSTORE will be REMOVED. And All developers will only made 64 bit apps. So tell me. Do you think those android users who uses smartphones which dates back to kitkat wouldn't be angry because their smartphones GOOGLE PLAYSTORE SERVICES isn't functioning ANYMORE?

    Former iOS user , 07 Apr 2021Android is a maintenance free OS. I got tired of the bugs o... moreMaintenance Free OS? Then here's a good question. Coming from a Samsung Note user.

    How come when there's no apps running. 50% of the RAM is being used?

    When deleting files or folders using File Explorer. How come it deletes less files? When you use a CCLEANER. How come it gives more space?

    When you use a FIREWALL APP like the NoRoot. From the Logs it produce. How come there's compute.amazonaws running on the background even thou you didn't install any amazon apps on your phone?

    Why would you want unnecessary updates? Simple! So your phone would be OPTIMIZED and secured all the time. One good example from this is the GAMES. Company of Heroes. Which is available on both platforms. On ios. It requires any ios device running on ios 13 or later. Meanwhile on android. It requires android 9 or later. And can only run on a specific android device. Like the SNAPDRAGON. Exynos or any other chipset version isn't supported. This is why having an updates is important.

    If you think 5 year update is overrated? Then tell me why there's still android users using OLDER androids? If you think ios has battery degradation. Are you certain that android phones don't suffer the same battery degradation after reaching the charging cycle? And if you think that people would buy iphones because of battery degradation. How are you certain that android users don't swap for a new android smartphone in a span of 1 year?

I got tired of the bugs on iOS which needed constant fixing every time a new version was launched. Why would you want unnecessary updates when everything is working fine?
      The whole 5 year update system is overrated and brings nothing new and yeah it does slow down old iphones and causes battery degradation so people go and buy new iPhones.

        "Android takes care of users by providing bigger capacity high grade batteries and doesn't slow them down with updates." And how many updates? Mostly 2 OS updates. After that, you're on your own. And after a year has passed. After the warranty Expired. Manufacturers don't support your device anymore. And after reaching the charging cycle. Depending on the charger. Like the iphone. The battery dies. So whether you have a high capacity android smartphone or not. Your phone isn't exempted when it comes to battery.

          "those who can buy flagship phones usually are the reckless ones." So you're saying that those people who buy ROG phone 2, Samsung galaxy z fold 2, and other much more expensive android phones are reckless???

              Rog 3 is used mostly by gamers
              Iphone is mostly used for social media and casual usage.

              Of course their battery life deterioration will be different.

              Now imagine 2 iPhone with same charger used. 1st one is used for social media and casual gaming. While the 2nd one is used for gaming at max graphics. Commonsense will tell you that the 1st iphone will last longer than the 2nd iphone on long term usage.

              Phones longevity highly depends on the users. And ironically those who can buy flagship phones usually are the reckless ones.

                Android users who uses an OP charger to charge their device will have shorter battery life that is pretty much comparable to ios?

                One good example is the ROG 3 after 8 months of usage.

                        6ix, 20 Feb 2021How many android phones can outlast the 11pro max It just depends on the user and not on the phone. I know lots of people that struggle to keep a phone working for a year.

                          AnonD-973296, 20 Feb 2021im sure u do, ur account already has themI figured it out shortly after the post. 👍

                            Don't get a connector , just get loads of expensive extras just to charge your phone.
                            Then Apple can make loads of money.

                              6ix, 20 Feb 2021How many android phones can outlast the 11pro max A lot of them. IPhone 12 pro Max has endurance rating of 95hr. That is average by 2021 standards.
