Too many charges.. too many diff pins.. even for laptops also. Should enforce one common chargers/pins to avoid lots of e-waste.

It's only for paid apps When I install apps on my dad's iPhone it asks for fingerprint id even on a freeware app. I don't mind asking for additional security on a paid app but not on the likes of sky sports or BBC sport. That's ridiculous.

lewein, 20 Jun 2022why? why such a waste?Because apple obviously cares more for their US market were they have the most iphone sales compared to europe and Asia, and were most people have only Apple devices/ecosystem.
So they can keep for the US market their lovely lightning port and give the rest of the world a typeC connector finally.

No we don;t have to always put whole annoying passwords , we have autofill and smart lock, and password vault.. where we don't have to every time type whole password like on iphone.. there is verification it will ask for fingerprint I will tap and it will autofill ... not asking much about face id even if I have it enabled.. or now security is done by code via sms but that is extra security
Every time you want to instal an app you have to put whole password on your iphone..
we don't . I open play store search for app and good to go... installed.. All i handled by google services..

Galaxy S models had fingerprint scanner in the same year (2014)... You still need a password manager or something, I don't know how that was done in the past. I just know Android phones had massive problems with that, even when you set LastPass or similar to be a default password manager, you tapped into a field and... nothing happened. Password manager would come up at all. Then I had to manually copy password from LastPass and paste it into login fields. I've yet to see that problem on iOS. It just always unconditionally works and properly inwokes default password manager. I've never used Apple's iCloud Keychain tho, I prefer not to be locked into anyone's ecosystem.

Same apps that require signing in on iPhone also require it on Android phones. That part is literally exactly the same. Except most apps are more high quality or just better on iPhone for whatever reason. Like, Reddit feels just terrible on Android and even lacks features like long press saving of images. It's just not there. It is on iPhone. And most apps just feel wonky and half baked on Android. Again, I have no clue why. API's maybe?

I have iphone 5s and iphone 6, and 8 and I don't use them only my daughter playing one game on them because it is better than on android , I don't know some poses missing on android version and they don't update game anymore..
But when I take iphone into hand am thinking like where to go what should I do?
I don't want to watch youtube on iphone because annoying ads .. I don't want to browse internet on safari because it is awkward.. I rather browse on chrome android.. All apps you open on iphone you have to sign in.. pain.. milions verifications , Android is easier to use..
Probably used to ..
But I have android mate 20 X with 7.2'' and cost me only £350 and iphones has small screen and must be pain to use it.. Sometimes I hate do something on my phone and I rather go on PC myine at home connected to my 55'' inch screen..
I HATE when I am browsing on chrome .. and stupid phone will switch back to app ! I am fury ! stupid they made it that way ! I have to uninstall app in order to carry on on chrome in desktop mode and even that is so small and annoying ! I hate doing shopping or searching for anythning on phone ! Laptop or PC - BEST
Phone should be just for phoning ! but nobody calling anywhere anyway these days ..
Having all unlimited .. calls, sms , internet and I don't call at all only very rarely if I need something doctors etc.. I never SMS becsue everyone using wacap ,,,
It is depends of your age.. of course kids will love phones.. but as you get older, you just don't giv fk about...

Grey Wolf, 20 Jun 2022Dude, I had iPhones in the past. And I had for short period... more"Demand much more than they offer". You keep saying how you're not obsessed with specs on paper, yet you're doing just that. Which part doesn't it offer? It was 850€ when I bought it almost 4 years ago and I'd do it again pretty much in a heartbeat. Excellent performance on hardware and OS side? Check. Still very much decent camera? Check. Display? Check. I don't have a single issue with it. Displays good image and has surprisingly great blacks for LCD. Notch? I don't care, I love FaceID system that's residing in it. Battery? On paper it's small at 3000mAh, yet I get amazing life from it and I only charge it to 80%. Software support? Boy, it just makes any, even the best Android phones look like a joke. Even Pixels. Every single update I've received the moment it was released. Unconditionally. And I have more to come. Lightning? I've had USB-C before and it's literally a non issue. I maybe spent 15€ on Lightning cables in the time I had it, mostly for my car and to charge it at work. Wow, so problematic. It has some Apple specific quirks, but I've learned to live with them and they don't bother me that much. Like uploading ringtones via iTunes or lack of BT to transfer small files between my phone and some other Android. This was like the biggest of issues. The rest are just minor annoyances, not even problems.
I'll probably replace XR with some Android again just out of curiosity to see how much has Android phones progressed in last 5 years, but I'm not holding my breath (will probably just get Samsung, especially if they get rid of Exynos or fix the damn thing). Depending on what iPhones will look like this fall and next year, I might just stick with it because experience has been so great so far. I've not had such longevity from any Android phone and not want to get rid of it after just 2-3 years of use. Mostly because they always dropped software support for them.
Of course a brand new phone makes better photos and has bigger brighter display and has more of everything to tweak and set in Android, but I just plain don't care. If my phone was lagging with anything or make rubbish photos or super grainy and blurry image, I'd be annoyed. But it doesn't.

SShock, 20 Jun 2022Righty, when you run out of arguments, accuse the person of... moreDude, I had iPhones in the past. And I had for short period of time the iPhone Xr as my secondary phone (because I wanted to try it out myself before making assumptions about it). That is why I can speak about it and that is why I say is budget phone compare to any Samsung S or Note series phones from last 4 years. Even though it cost twice as much (if we are talking about 4 years Samsung phones) or the same price (if we are talking about 2-3 years old Samsung phones). Definitely not worth it.
Is not about specs on paper. I rarely look at this or more clearly, I am not interested only in this. I try the phones myself and I am talking about the experience of using them.
And is the same case scenario with phones like iPhone 11, SE2, SE3.
That is my main problem with Apple. They are too greedy and demand much more than what they offer. Maybe in the last 2 years they somehow started some improvements. Or more likely the other companies have decline.

yalim, 20 Jun 2022every single product category (smartphones,tws,smartwatches... moreNo they haven't. There is still tons of stuff that even today in 2022 uses microUSB for some dumb reason. There is way more and more devices adopted USB-C in last 2 years, but the situation was pretty bad all the years prior. USB-C was really only found on highest end devices where you expected latest and greatest components and on the rest of budget crap they still insisted on microUSB. But no one cares about hundreds of no name companies using microUSB, everyone is just hyper focused on Apple and their Lightning. The news have been flooded with clickbait articles about Apple and USB-C for like 2 weeks now. Great, everyone will be forced to use USB-C, but it's not an Apple only thing. Yet everyone presents it in clickbait articles like it is. Because everything around Apple generates f**k ton of clicks. But it's annoying like hell.

Also why would I want to use Android device from 3 years ago when I have an iPhone for almost 4 and I went with it because I was so fed up with all the BS in Android phones? Stop reading all the crap about only 60Hz 720p LCD nonsense when even budget phones have 12000000000000000Hz displays at 8K and they are hyperplasmatic ultrahyperbolic OLED. It's entirely irrelevant because phone works great in real world despite small numbers on paper. I know that's confusing for all you who haven't actually ever used an iPhone (if you actually had you wouldn't be saying such dumb nonsense). I think you're either just jealous or just so bitter. Probably both...
