Had a friend with an iPhone X got a green tint for no apparent reason. Switched to a iPhone 12 and running strong without any of the issues mentioned above.

    I use an iPhone X. The build quality is good. But a good battery? Oh, ha, ha. Are you kidding? Charging twice a day.

      I don’t watch American Youtubers myself but it seems you have a bias with them. Do you have some sort of phobia? Get checked.

        As an android fan, I admit that the quality build and the materials used on the iPhones are very good, at least that's how it feels in the hands. While being 'enough' for default users, for advanced users like me who want superuser access and the ability to alter the OS to my liking, it's OS is a prison. It's so restricted I simply can't use one. Too damn limited!
        When they'll port android to the iPhone, I'll buy 2! Until then, no thanks!

            Anonymous, 25 Dec 2021Foldables suck. Apple doesn't make $hitty prototype de... moreAndroid users *pay* to be the beta test. Not that this is a bad thing. Some people need that Mustang GT with a V8, others get by quite nicely with a Grand Marquis.

            Apple has made a killing by registering/patenting an idea, letting the Android manufacturers fight each other to release the product on the market "first," wait for the ensuing carnage to unfold in the Android market, and then Apple releases (or cancels) the finished product 3 years later. In the meantime, Android manufacturers spent billions for the idea to mature while Apple got free R&D. It's a brilliant strategy and a way for Apple to outsource research and development. See: touch ID, wearables, foldable phones, Apple Pay, etc. In every single instance, Apple patented a product first, Android manufacturers saw the idea and scrambled to release before Apple, and in doing so, ended up fighting each other while Apple sat back and watched. And then Apple got to see what ideas worked and what didn't, without spending a single penny.

                    Foldables suck. Apple doesn't make $hitty prototype devices like that. Android users don't realize they're paying $2k to be beta testers for a prototype phone

                      Hard to be a loser with best sales in the world. Lol

                        I will never gona buy an iPhone. One simple reason! and that's Apple them self.
                        On Android i have more room to decide my self what i can or cannot do.

                                iPad Pro 12.9 (2021) is a Winner? Lol, not a chance. Until Apple put macOS in it, it will never be a Winner. I'd rather buy a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet in a heartbeat instead.

Everything apple is it's own ecosystem that cant be compared in any shape or form to anything. It's just it's own thing. You cant have there chips run on android to see if it's better then SnapDragon, Mediateck or what ever in the android market chips are named of. Also you cant have any of the droid chips run IOS. Apple chips are specifically design for one set of devices in a year to run specific features. Android chips are designed to run on all types of hardware with all types of feature support. It's for brands to decide what features they use and what type of hardware they combine these chips with so why would you say anything that apple chips are better if you cant have equal ground to test any of them with other chips

                                        Not enough to call winner.
                                        Not bad to call loser.
