Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.

But they're fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what's the problem?

I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don't want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.

Idk every apple product I've touched always felt pretty thin and flimsy. Don't even get me started on Mac mice. They're so cheaply made you don't get a second mouse button. The Mac books are so fragile you can break them by looking at them wrong. The only time I've ever seen a iPhone that doesn't have a crack in the screen is when they are brand new. Maybe I'm a bit of a farmer for considering rigidity the definition of high quality, but god how do one button mice feel good.

Apple has that break the lense on a camera and your phone starts to brick it's self as it thinks it's been repaired by someone who's not apple

High quality until you drop it once and the entire screen shatters. High quality until your lightning cable breaks. High quality until planned obsolescence renders it unusable. Nah Apple products are pure ass lmao, literally no reason to ever buy one unless it's got some exclusive artsy software you really like (and even then there's prob something just as good for windows or Linux). As far as bang for your buck goes I can't think of a worse choice than Apple in any given field

I carry 2 phones because I have a government job, so if any work is done on my phone it becomes subject to Open Records requests. If I have to carry 2 phones I might as well have both operating systems.

So my personal phone is Android and my work phone is an iPhone.

I don't understand how people prefer iPhones. The hardware is nice, but the OS is horrible. They came up with some neat stuff in 2008, but it feels like they haven't improved much since then. Even informing the greater flexibility of Android - it's just easier to use. Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.

Turning off WiFi is as easy as gesturing to the control centre then clicking the WiFi button it's as easy as android devices where you swipe down from where the notch is and click on the WiFi button

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Except when I swipe down and it opens the notification window or Siri shortcuts or just a blank screen with a clock on it.

It's not consistent.

I used an iPhone xs for about a year and a half before clumsily dropping my phone and it sadly coming to its demise and I've never had this happen to me. Prehaps I'm lucky. Although knowing lemmy someone probably just made this shit up

Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.

What on earth are you talking about? I’m not going to claim Apple invented it (because they likely stole it from another os like android) but they’ve had the single swipe down control panel on iOS to turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, etc for like a decade+. I have Apple devices, and trust me, there’s plenty to shit on without making stuff up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.

Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.

Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.

"Apple users" is a bit harsh, the fans can definitely get this culty but it's not like the functional-but-overpriced hardware is literal shit. Someone else said NFT "investors", I'd go for fashion people who spend hundreds on a sweatshop-produced t-shirt which just has the logo of the company that's ripping them off on it (which to be fair does describe some people's relationship with Apple!)

I would sooner rather buy a bag of actual deluxe dog shit than an NFT.

It can at least have some kind of utility. Like hurling it at NFT bros, for example.

This is one of the shitposts of all time.

No, you have to pay extra for that
