I realized i don't really tinker with my phone as much as I used to, and all my contacts socially and professionally have iOS. Verizon's $800 off with trade in for a 13 series was the final push i needed.

My entire family has iPhone besides me, and every time I have to use it for something or to help them out I'm absolutely amazed at how terrible it is.

Nobody should have an iPhone other than children or the elderly.

What's wrong with iOS? The actual OS is intuitive and responsive. It also has amazing integration with iPad and Mac. Apple also support phones for up to 5 years at the minimum.

Gonna chime in with the opposite and say it was the best choice I ever made. But maybe it's merely because I went from a 32 GB phone (that couldn't even read my SD cards for whatever reason) to a 128 GB phone with a 10x better camera

I thought I would enjoy Android more and switched back to it when my iPhone died, but it didn't take too long for me to realize I'm done with Android. I used to not agree with people who say iPhone is easier to use because I thought improvements could be made, but Android makes simple things more complicated than it should be

  • The Contacts UI looks more intuitive on iOS
  • In WhatsApp, I have to download all images and GIF's to view them, when this is done in the background in iOS
  • When I go to a restaurant and scan the QR code for the menu, the Android downloads the PDF, but doesn't show it the first time. I then try again and it downloads PDF again and I have to tap on PDF notification to view the menu. Way cleaner on iOS
  • Can't beat Apple ecosystem, hands down
  • There's one particular app that literally requires me to switch between data plan and Wifi back-and-forth to alleviate its connection issues. It's this one app on Android that has this issue and it drives me insane
  • The game I play asks me every time I open it if I want to create a Google Play account and I never found a way to turn off this obnoxious notification. The game also has lots of connection issues, only on Android
  • Blue bubbles, enough said. Also, can see actual timestamp of texts for iMessages
  • You have to manually download every single app on Android. While some may think of this as flexibility, it really is easier if the essential apps such as Phone and Messages auto-update
  • Android takes longer to reflect game updates. You also can't refresh the page like you can on iOS AND it takes longer to get to update page
I don't really care to customize my phone too much. The only real positive I can say about my Android phone is I get to accumulate Play points from my games, not sure if there's a similar thing for iOS

I also realized the overwhelming majority of people, at least in the U.S., use iPhone. I used to be kind of anti-Apple years ago, but I started to come around when I realized they make very good laptops and my re-experience with Android also convinced me I need to go back to their phones

...Sounds like most of that was an issue with your specific phone because I have never experienced literally a single one of your bullet points on any of my phones.

Other than the UI preference which is subjective (I hate how iOS looks visually)

There's your answer.

But really, I don't think there are that many apps on iOS that you can't find on Android (that are worthwhile) unless it's something by Apple themselves. I would think most mobile app developers target both OSs.

iPhones cost a lot more than Android for phones with comparative specs, have much shorter planned obsolescence life for the hardware, and will hard cut off operating system updates for older models that results in almost every major app being unusable, by which I mean that at some point Apple says "your phone/pad is too old, so you aren't allowed to use it anymore".

My dad busted an old iPad out of storage a month ago and it wouldn't even allow him to install Amazon Shopping, said that there was no version of the app that existed that was old enough to work on it anymore. Not a single other app we tried to install worked either, the thing was essentially a paper weight. Just simply not something that happens on android.

I'm pretty sure there was someone in the b8 anime topic still using the iPhone 7 until last year when the battery died and he had no way to replace it. Busting out an old iPad is about as vague as it is. I have a 4th gen iPad mini released in 2015 that still works perfectly. Did you bust out an iPad from when Jobs was still alive and expect it to be supported?

i switched to iphone because i couldn't stand that on android you can't clear notifications from my home screen and still have the little red bubble appear above the app to let you know that you have something to respond to

positively infuriating because they had that feature and then got rid of it

An android phone from this era would still work.

Would you be OK with any other device just not working because it's old, even it was in pristine shape?

Apple is responsible for people accepting the mindset that when some is old you just have to throw it away, and it disgusts me.

Imagine if Sony just turned off the PS3's ability to play games and told you you have to buy a PS5. Sure, they don't "support" the PS3, but it still works. Nobody would accept that. There's no real difference here other than people are just "used to it".

An Android from that era would not work on the Google Play store. You'll have to jailbreak it. You can also jailbreak the iPad and get it to work again.

I had an old Windows 7 laptop that couldn't get the latest Chrome update and couldn't use Google Drive. Does that make Microsoft and Google bad that they're no longer supporting decade old software/hardware?

And your example is dumb. Amazon is not going to support your old iPad. They have literal zero incentive to do it. Just like Sony is going to shut down the PSN store and servers for PS3. Are you going to get mad about that too? Your iPad and PS3 will still work, they just can't access stores.

Duh. The fact that you aren't is what I'm talking about. You've been conditioned to be accepting of this shit.

It's also not the same because even with the store down they didn't TURN OFF all my games.

I honestly alternate

My first smartphone was a shitty windows phone in like 2011.

Then an iPhone 5 in 2013
Then I went to a Pixel in 2016
I then went back to iPhone and got an SE in 2018
Then I got a pixel 3 in 2020.

Still have it, will likely get a 3rd generation SE when I get a new phone, not exactly sure when probably later this year

I'm not conditioned for anything. I upgrade when the software coming out are no longer available (or in some case don't perform well) on my hardware... like game consoles which I'm sure you do own.

There's a lot of things to shit on Apple but software and hardware support is definitely not one of them. They are not at the cutting edge of tech either, but their tech is reliable and comparable to the top end Android offerings. Their screens are from Samsung and they designed their own Apple Silicon that are pretty much just years ahead of their competition.

Just like Sony is going to shut down the PSN store and servers for PS3.

This is a terrible example (and it's Nintendo that's doing it, not Sony. They backed out for the time being) because some games are locked on their digital stores because they're not playable on newer game systems. Once those stores are shutdown, they're gone for good, barring any hacking.

For mobile devices, you literally just have to upgrade your devices and you can use the apps again.

As of now, I can't even play Ace Attorney 4, 5, and 6 on my Switch.

Oh dang I forgot they backed out of closing the stores.

LTM is basically complaining that his Nintendo DS can't connect to the Nintendo servers to upgrade to the newest Switch firmware so he can play Pokemon Sword and Shield. Replace Nintendo DS with 2nd gen iPad and etc.

Naw that's horseshit. It's like if Black and White didn't work on the DS anymore, not Sword and Shield. The old apps no longer exist, they're disabled. You can't boot up an old version of the app without jailbreaking.
