If they used clean OS they would probably loose some fans but gain more, though thier non-foldables are nothing impresive, but so is iphone since 2007, so yeah. The only phones i find interesting right now are the fairphones, the hmd skyline and shiftphone 8, the rest are just a bunch of hardware with a very huge problem of an OS implementation when we talk privacy and security. Ah well, nothing phone had something at the biginning too, they got uninteresting when cmf phone came out and is not repairable... that telly pretty much the comoany mindset, and is one i do not want to support anymore.

Well, just saying.

Who has the brain to read between the lines, does not buy samsung nor apple.

                Anonymous, 04 Nov 2024How did this issue suddenly appear after two years?It is just an open recall similar to how car manufactures do it. If they see a percentage of phones with issues over time they issue an open recall to extend the warranty of that issue so they dont get sued.

                                    I know some people whose phones got bricked with updates. It was a popular enough issue to make me never go for Apple. Normies might be ok with it but not me.

                                        That reminds me of a friend who had an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and her rear cameras stopped previewing all of a sudden, though her selfie camera was just fine. She never solved the issue, and got a new phone in the end. I wonder if this issue is the same one as this, and whether said issue really only affects a small number of iPhone 14 Plus phones or affects more of them and/or more models.
