Wow, to see an Xperia phone being used as an example instead of a bloody Samsung.
Good day to be an Xperia user.

I don't really care about any of these things and I'm also fine being any number of years behind the current tech trends.

mAh is a stupid way to measure batteries. Wh is more relevant.
It also tells nothing about the efficiency of the device. You can add a 50kWh battery to a device but it doesn’t matter if it uses 2kWh at idle
A 4Ah battery at 5V would be a 20Wh battery, drop the kilo. Electronics draw power at idle, not energy. 2kWh is meaningless without an idle duration. What are you saying?
Wh may be better for determining total energy storage across differing cell chemistry. mAh is standard for electronics and makes more sense at the design level as the battery voltage is chemistry dependent and known to the designer.

you can optimize your android device battery in ways iphones cant. For example you cant disable or remove any system app consuming your battery in iPhones, but that is instantly doable in Androids

You have not even touched how limited iOS is compared to Android. I can list over 50 things any 2015 Android can do which iPhone 16 can't. You basically have no control over anything in iPhone while in any Android even without rooting you control what every app access and how it's allowed to work or at all. I was not even referring to customized OSes like graphene or calyos which give higher level of control.
But you still sadly have google services everywhere, popping up here and there, reminding you that they have control over apps
No, I don’t want to login with google or rate the app
Dont get up from Google only to jump on Apple's balls.
Also your point is not valid because degoogling is possible with androids, but you can't deapple an iphone. And btw many custom OSes dont require anything google no appstore or nothing. So what you're complaining about has been solved and already out there
Google is an advertisement company where you are the product, not the costumer. Big difference there.

This is bait
Funnily enough, I've got a few friends who are long time iPhone users, who actually point this stuff out themselves:
"OMG! Have you seen the eye watering price of the new one?"
"Yay, I finally get stuff you've had for years."
Neither party would ever consider anything else, and they both buy the new model every year. 🤷
At this point I admit that my reasons for choosing Android all those years ago no longer exist or matter, but I can't imagine changing ecosystem either.

Not to be an unfunny nit picker (I don’t know why I’m denying this, that kinda the whole point), but all iphones do have lossless audio streaming via AirPlay. I’m assuming that you specifically meant Bluetooth streaming, but then you should’ve said so. Furthermore, normal aptx isn’t high resolution, only aptx HD and aptx adaptive are. The phone does support aptx HD as well, but once again, you could’ve said so from the start (though 3 characters more or less might make a significant difference to most memes, this one certainly wouldn’t have had that problem)

Product elitism is dumb.
It was fun before... like 20 years ago. Now it's just... eh. Apple users don't care about any of that. They want a device that "just works" and has their ecosystem. They're trapped in it, but eh, what's the point. They aren't going to convert, and after converting some people you learn you just become tech support for them.
Except when the shitty ecosystem fucks with everyone else. Eg. when trying to get files from an iOS device to another phone. You need to use 3rd party software, which is almost exclusively shit on iOS and (at least in my school) no iPad kiddie managed to use local file sharing websites. The real kicker? Sharing stuff from the teachers iPad to the students does not work reliably either. Never. 20 students, and Apple can't manage to transport shit. We resorted to uploading it to Teams - so much for Apple's nice ecosystem for easily sharing files, which ends up taking 15+ Minutes.
I‘ve used Android and iPhones for multiple years. Now I am using an iPhone and I am very happy. Main reasons are build quality and software. It just works. And the main advantage is primarily if you use multiple Apple devices. And since Android phones are expensive as fuck, too, I don’t care about the price anymore
Seriously, does anyone think Apple users care about unlocked bootloaders and LDAC codecs? They want whatever the new iOS features are and their AirPods to work seamlessly.
I have an Android phone and an iPhone, and they both do pretty much the same thing. I can do some things with Android that iOS can't, but it's nothing an average user couldn't do without, or even know they're missing.
To be fair i do care quite a bit about that. Phones just make bad computers to me. Small screen and half is used by a keyboard.
They seem designed to frustrate me so “it just works (most times)” is the only way i can stomach owning one.
I have a dream where apple is forced to make ios fully open source and where screen/input devices can freely stream any system/OS from a dedicated server.
Iphones are so “cleverly” dumb it makes them usable.

Ah, but for only $200 more you can get USB 3.2, which is (…checks notes…) seven year old technology 😂 😭
You mean like, with a cable? Eewwwww gross!
This but unironically. Can’t remember one time when I needed or even thought about using a cable in my iPhone tenure.
This misses the point completely, I have tried both Android and iOS in the last five years, and to me iOS is just better, it works like I want it to.
I switched to iOS a few years back because I tried it for a week when my Pixel died, maintained a pros/cons list, and decided iOS works better for me.
The most eye-opening part switching “sides” is how cringe these types of Android users are. Just use what works for you and enjoy life.
I like the idea of Android stealing enough market share that Apple is forced to be more open.
The one that really blew my mind was the Find My network. Android tried to cooperate with Apple, and Apple stalled and dragged it out until Android gave up.
The effect was that Android got "Find My" about a year later than it would have otherwise, and the networks won't be compatible. But isn't Find My network compatibility relatively better for Apple? At worst there are places where Android and Apple devices split market share evenly. In most of the world, Android has the larger network/market share. Apple was willing to sacrifice that win to stall Android rolling out a major feature for a year.
Exactly, which is why I deleted the comment just after I made it as I realized I didn't have the energy to debate the issue
The point is that Apple pushes out phones with outdated hardware at a premium price. That point is well illustrated here.
I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.
I did so as I realized that I didn't have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online
This is happened to me before. I’ve noticed a delay in the federation such that sometimes comments recently deleted will still get votes or replies for a time. I speculate it’s because the deletion doesn’t get processed until the comment has finished being shared with other instances.
It doesn't look deleted to me.
How would one go about reading the logs on how federation worked in this case? I'm thinking lemmy.ml either missed it did not honor the delete from lemmy.zip
Maybe whatever app you’re using isn’t really deleting comments? It’s still showing up fine for me and gaining votes.
It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn't clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.
Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.
I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense
