              you have to suffer, 09 Aug 2022atleast iOS does not put 12 bloatware like microsoft servic... moreSamsung Galaxy A3x series (and above) dont have any of those 11 bloatware. Probably only on low budget Galaxy A1x you could find something like that.

              Big brain question here: Why the hell are you even compare 800usd iphone with 100usd Galaxy A12 ?

                Bring back the previous signal icon with the dots, the standard one is so out of place for iPhone design.

                    Awesomenesss, 09 Aug 2022I have been an iPhone user and now Android user.. just want... moreAnd I've been a user of Android for more than a decade and realized all the endless possibilities to customize stuff are worthless because at the end of the day, something kept constantly breaking as a result. Using phone that keeps crapping itself is not exactly a great experience. I literally have same wallpapers the entire time I own my iPhone. Lock screen is my dog's photo and for wallpaper on home screen, I have some rainbowy gradient wallpaper. Looks pretty, I'm fine with it. Icons, for as long as they are nice in the first place and they are on iOS, I'm fine with it. Again, I've tried so many themes, icons, launchers, all of it and in the end realized stock stuff that comes with whatever brand of phone is the best anyways.

                      thanks apple...have been waiting for decade

                        I have been an iPhone user and now Android user.. just wanted to ask current iPhone users.. don't you get bored of seeing the same screen over and over again.. like same icons.. same setup.. the wallpaper is hiding behind all icons and you can't do a thing.. when i was using iPhone their clock didn't have seconds in timer.. it came later..
                        i dont hate IOS.. but it's a little boring imo

                          The amount of d*mb@ss trolls here are amazing. Even Buzz Lightyear will drop his jaw upon reading the bigotry hate troll comments here. As what Buzz Lightyear said, To the infinity and beyond, but, I'm going to say this. To the infinity and beyond stupidity 😏

                                  Anonymous, 09 Aug 2022How long has it been since Iphone X first announced again? ... morelol keep crying while every company keeps following the steps of the "joke company" that you're saying.

                                    RealLifePhones, 09 Aug 2022To all the defenders of everything Apple/iPhone: How could ... moreNobody needed nor tied to justify it, iPhone users simply got on with things. There was still the battery icon available on the screen for a guide to remaining battery life, and the percentage itself was just a swipe away. This is hardly life altering level stuff when you stop to think about it now is it.

                                    So yeah the vast majority simply just got on with their lives 🤷‍♂️

                                    I can only speak for myself, but wouldn't mind guessing this is also true for many others. My appreciation for iOS extends beyond any single one feature, especially one so trivial as this. Was it the best decision to remove it, perhaps not. Should it be as big a deal as everyone seems to want to make it, definitely not.

                                      To all the defenders of everything Apple/iPhone: How could you accept not having battery percentage at a glance?
                                      Not hating just curious how you justified Apple's move to remove such basic useful information for all these years now that they indirectly admit it was a mistake

                                        you have to suffer, 09 Aug 2022because he hates iOS just because its closed and restrictiv... moreYeah that was what I was thinking as well. Funny that somebody could actually be so childish as to describe an operating system as childish though ain't it.
