      Tim Cook would rather convert Android users

      Start making budget iPhone and lower pricing add changer back into the box
      Make battery user replaceable remove notch
      Add headphones jack add SD card slot add more ram
      Increase battery size lower prices even more

      Being back fortune add allow sideloading and alternative apps enable overclocking or underlocking for performance or battery life
      Or just give up on iOS and run Android

      Then Android users like me be interested

        Google Messages, The messaging application that I use the most because by default everyone has SMS (and some MMS or RCS) because of Facebook, I also have Facebook Messenger (required to read private messages from Facebook) and of course E-mail. I don't want to add more. Facebook has said several times (and the European community has also asked for this) that WhatsAp and Facebook Messenger will be compatible at least in part within 1 or 2 years

          "But Tim, I want a headphone jack. Even the AirPods still have too much audio latency."

            Well I like the things you pointed out and I must admit I agree with you on some and some are surely food for thought.

            The only thing I don't agree with you on is the speed as I knew someone personally who had a iPhone 5 (if memory serves me correct) and that person complained about how it slowed down to a crawl more than once. No phone is perfect.

              Here we're using WhatsApp. NO problem of you own iphone or Android

                    Tim is a weinie that came from the shipping department to the head of Apple somehow. I'm sure he barely knows how to turn on his iPhone and probably needs help to link his watch with his phone.

                      What an ingnorant piece of .... !
                      I really came more and more to think of Apple is an alternative, but things like this reminds me, that I'm not compatible with this company. So again, as long as this prick is in charge, I'm not considering an iPhone. No matter what. Not even gifted.
                      And then... coming up with a (bad) 7 year old Android thing called "Island". Pathetic.

                          Tim or Tom doesn't matter for me. Will give him 0 dollar.

                            Honest too God, if I find him or come across him , I'd burnnnnn him with throwing petrol on him set him on fire, I would pisssss and shitttt on his graveeee hate him deeply so much and applle

                              Give it 7-8 years. Apple will definitely catch up by then.

                                        Addy Knox, 09 Sep 2022Would stop using a phone than being an iPhone user... LolRight? Unfortunately the past few years have seen most other manufacturers become lazy and complacent. Making them adopt the apple strategy giving iphone a chance to catch up on numerous ways and other devices become the same over priced lackluster greed machines the iPhone is..... but a difference still exists.
