    constipation, 03 Nov 2021Then you don't get what i meant. What i meant is apps ... moreI got proof that they do.
    My family has YT Vanced installed since they saw i got no ads and PiP.
    Also, many "end user" i see them using a custom WhatsApp version that has more options and customization. I personally don't use it but it showz that "normal" people care about those things.

      dbjungle, 02 Nov 2021I definitely prefer Android for both phone and tablet since... moreYeah, no customizability is definitely the usual Apple. But sometimes, i prefer that because how polished their softwares since they have total control to everything. No UI customization is ok since no matter how deep I can customize my Android, it's still looked ugly compared to theirs, not to mention theming in custom ROMs is dead now (Remember Layers/Substratum?)

      I'm talking this as a rooted Android 12 user, can't afford any Apple stuff.

        Anonymous, 02 Nov 2021Apps like vanced, newpipe and others are only found on Andr... moreThen you don't get what i meant. What i meant is apps that optimized for full tablet experience, like Photoshop, Procreate, Lumafusion, etc.

        I know on Android you have stuff like Vanced, ViperFX, and those modded Gcam, but do you think end users who can't even access recovery would care?

          HaterzSuckkkkk, 03 Nov 2021mate 30 lol. We're at the p50 right now. Google ... moreYeah yeah yeah, the best biometric security ever on a smartphone that you can even use it with a mask... OH WAIT!

          But you totally forgot about the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and even TouchID which is still being used on their latest products.
          This is why i see you as a fanboy, you blindly say Apple is the best at anything.

            We're at the p50 right now.

            Google pixel had some of iPhone's tech, then they just abandoned it.

            Apple was the only one who stayed with the best biometric security on a smartphone.

                HaterzSuckkkkk, 02 Nov 2021The price of the iPhone 13 pro is $570. That's over... moreMan 570 is for 256GB model so the 128GB is even cheaper. 540 could be real as i said.
                And in my country the 128GB model cost between 1035 up to 1431 euros depending on vendor you buy from.
                And the 256GB model starts at 1142 euros so thats twice the manufacturing cost 570 bucks.

                  Why all the fuss about a better phone brand/os all the time.

                  No phone is bad/better whether it's pricey or not, or sells more or less, or lacks certain features or not. Different values on features for different people. Stick to what you like and give compliments to the other side.

                  We can't all like the same thing, we'd just be a planet of zombies. Why focus on the dislikes when you can focus on the likes you have of the other side. Usually, we probably have something we like on the other side.

                  Stick to what suites you and have nice things to say to the other side.

It is such boring to see that old design being launched again and again, year after year

                              How does the amount of sales decide which phone is better? So I guess by that logic Ariana Grande makes better music than Beethoven because she has more Youtube views? Okay then.

                              The best phone is the one that you have chosen according to your needs. The ROG Phone 5 and the Z Fold 3 are prime candidates because they actually propose something new and implement it well enough to the point where they will provide the best experience. If you want just a phone go ahead and buy something like a Realme GT Neo2 or a Galaxy A52 and have fun. You will still play Asphalt 9 at full speed, your phone will survive drops, the call quality will be good, you'll enjoy a great multimedia experience and a battery life of 1-2 days with the Realme charging back in 30 mins.

                              iPhones are in my opinion phones stuck in the past, with a design straight out of 2017 and camera tech below the competition. iPhones also do nothing in terms of performance because they are subpar when it comes to thermal throttling. You'll experience annoying microstutters playing Genshin Impact that don't happen on a Mi 11U or a Realme phone because those phones actually come with proper cooling systems (to say less of the ROG 5).

Also it may not take into consideration all the cash reduced by wholesale orders of the spare parts. So in the end the 13 Pro could be just 400 or something

                                      As much as I want to buy an iPad.
                                      The charging speed, the lightning port, the 64 gb rom are deal-breaker to me.

                                      So, apple make a smart choice
