    Akashi Seijuro, 27 Jul 2022It really applies vice versa, and I do understand that many... moreAndroid fans and iPhone fans still arguing with each other to validate their purchases? That's so 2010s.

    I hate iOS but I'll admit that iPhones actually make better dumb phones because how restricted iOS is. A smarter dumb phone. Using my iPhone SE (2016) as a main phone for the next few years. Battery life is atrocious on it any way that it prevents me from using it all the time.

    Already deleted so many useless apps on my Flip 3 and Razr 5G including Netflix. The only apps I really use are YouTube and the browser app. Deleted YouTube. The rest, I might use it for 1 minute per week. Smartphones are too distracting. An endless loop watching MBKHD sell you the latest smartphone you don't need that doesn't lead anybody to true happiness.

    Phones are just material things. Buyers are always chasing for that next phone but they're never truly happy from all the digital clutter. Time for more people to digital detox. Liberate your mind from online traps..

      Interesting that there are so many suppliers for every part of the phone.
      Which means, that despite best efforts, quality across devices should vary, from smartphone lenses, to RAM, to many other products.

I mean, what better way to start your day than use the product you bought? That's right, commenting on why Apple sucks as they publish a full novel of things and justify their Chinese phone is 10000x better than any phone in existence for some reason, without accounting for the fact that their Chinese makers don't really try or create anything new to get a leg up in the competition and just go "big numbers = better". Definitely the true innovators of inflating numbers just like the audiophile scene🤣

                Long time android user here (still am for 11-12 years, almost swapped to iPhone from a pixel 6 pro this year). Let's be honest the phones will be fine, iPhones cameras are really good quality specially the pro models (mini and standard suffer not having telephoto but still produce crisp, accurate pictures with probably the best video recording in a phone).

                Apple will get this sorted if it's just a lens coating problem and not an actual sensor issue. IOS 16 is looking to be a pretty awesome feature rich update too so I'm interested to see how the 14 models turn out. I'm waiting on the 15 once they swap to usb C (already swapped with ipads, that's the only thing I don't get by keeping the lightning port for the phones, it's just awkward, slow and everything is type C now which can also be thunderbolt 4).

                Hopefully if the 14 and 14 max release with the a15 we could see slight price drops on MSRP with no real world performance difference (possibly better battery endurance vs 13 series too with more optimisation on the SoC).

                    That's why most of Android articles have under 10 comments, because most iPhone users mostly couldn't care less what happening in Android world, for some reason these same anon Android users feel such a huge urge to come in every Apple article to write same stuff day after after day. They are actually the ones who are ruining android reputation

They are just of the same kind, which needs to be stopped once and for all. We can just simply like iPhone without having to hate Android. And we can also like Android without having to hate iPhone. It's all preference now and choosing which suits each individual's wants and needs in a smartphone. How hard is this to understand for people really, that it's been more than a decade now and the fight is still ongoing, as if neither really wants to settle down. How pathetic can their lives be to be raging all out for a damn smartphone, lol.

                        Can't we just simply buy whatever we want and think would suit our needs best and then get over it? I don't understand how people can have inhumane attitude and language over a damn thing called smartphone.

I hate how individual phone makers treat Android like garbage and maintain it like it's of no concern to them. There is nothing wrong with Android. I like it, it's good OS. But I don't like it how Oppo, Realme, Xiaomi, Motorola, Nokia and all these companies maintain it absolutely poorly. Hell, even Google is bad at it. Their own phones, the Pixels and all you get is 3 major OS updates and 2 extra years of security updates? Cooooooome on.

                              Make us iPhone users feel really special! They just made wrong choice so they act so bitter. People who use iPhones no need to prove anything, for some weird reason Android boys here always trying to proof something when in fact 99% of them have never owned iPhone 😆

                                "oH iPhOnEs ArE sO iNfErIoR tO oUr FuTuRiStIc LaGdRoIdS" then proceeds to insult every single iPhone users to make themselves feel better. Hearing iPhone users that their devices are inferior to theirs just further feeds their ego all the way down to their inner souls, what a way to enjoy life huh??

                                And this is coming from an Android user that's typing this comment on a nearly 3-year old mid-range Android phone who dreams to own an iPhone someday along with my beloved Android phones, because at the end of the day, a truly intelligent person will not have to make it a matter of choosing which one to get because both devices simply offer unique functions and have their respective drawbacks as well, and they complement each other, which makes owning those two types of OS make the most sense.
                                There's clearly a lot of ego problems with these kinds of people that it's simply not worth wasting our time entertaining them because it will just be an endless argument of which one is better while not having any significant effect upon others.

                                They always say that Android phones always win against iPhones, but their saltiness against Apple ironically just makes them look like the sore winners instead. Like why are these Android fans raving so much against an allegedly "inferior" product anyway? It makes us rethink which really is the better choice.
