Switch to iPhone? Never ever. I'd rather use android forever. Never faced any security issues and serious slowdowns.

          I've been an Apple user (MacBook, IPad, IPhone). I moved to Android and Windows mainly due to the ridiculous prices of Apple products, and I'm not going back to Apple. Remember IBM, Xerox, Kodak...? This sort of arrogant behaviour might be the end of Apple, eventually.

                  21 Centry Opium Seller Tim Cook: "Buy you mom an iPhone"

                  He only dreams, pathetically. Fortunately my mom, dad and I are not that foolish to fall for that trap and hand over our money and personal data to him and his gang.

                    So text colour green vs blue bubble matter ?

                    I don't even see text colour bubbles possiblity because am on Android

                    I just use text & calls and never noticed anything different between Android and iPhone when messaging people or calling people

                    I don't really understand the problem here

                        Apple, an arrogant company that refuses the RCS. Against a standard, Android supported by others. The SMS / MMS system which becomes RCS that everyone automatically unlike the many different messaging systems not (yet) compatible with each other (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram planned and even mandatory in the EU within 1 to 2 years)

                        I already have Facebook Messenger needed with Facebook (otherwise impossible to read P.M.) which is in some countries the most used. + E-Mail, + SMS/RCS permanently so you don't want WhatsApp, Line for Asia etc....

                            I like how some people here are like 'Apple isn't giving us choices!!!1!!' when WhatsApp, Telegram and Facebook Messenger are literally right over there on the App Store. You don't really need to use SMS.

                            I do feel that Tim's responses were a bit dumb, though.

JBL is in general an expert for powerful sound in tiny form factor, but Apple is really flexing their muscles in this segment in last several years.

Wherever any iPhone nearby rings, the sound from it's speaker, just sounds a lot better than other phones. Idk how they did it, but it does sound good. As for the haptics, I'll have to check that whenever I visit a nearby apple store. The things that I don't like about iPhone are expensive parts if ever it needs a repair. For example a back glass change can cost in hundreds so those things keep me from getting an iPhone. Lol

                                  - the operating system configuration is so efficient that the custom processor only needs fewer core and less memory
                                  - stick to the founder dream, computer 8s for everyone, must be as easy as operating vacuum cleaner
                                  - do not to be like rocket scientist to configure all things to the finer detail
                                  - gives users the user interface to focus on tasks at hand, not the tiny details configuration

                                  ... so the ads says ... and ... people actually spend more and queue for hours to get one

                                  again ... they wil say ... the proof is at the demand ... and ... people stil queue to get

No matter what iPhone you buy, you're guaranteed to have both excellent. Something so many other brands screwed up in many models almost randomly. Like for example, Galaxy S22 changing axis of the haptic motor, causing quite some problems not feeling the thing when it's vibrating in a pocket. I never used one in person to tell, but the fact several people/reviewers complained about it, it's worrying. I don't think I ever have to worry about that on iPhone. Any iPhone.
