Buying anything other than an iPhone is a reactionary act: you

Counterpoint: it's just a phone.

>>52343519

If you view it as just a phone you would by the shittest model. If you buy it as a smart phone you buy it as a status symbol, and no matter how 'flashy' your android phone might be, people will still think you're poor.

There are much cheaper android phones, good for burners, etc. Not sure why somebody would buy a non-iphone for the price of an iPhone though, as iPhones have been unanimously rated as the best smartphones on the market, every year since release.

>>52343538

Because they are plebs who think they're 'making a point'.

Like the people who unironically buy into the 'free software' meme.

>the one thing maintaining the thickness of modern phones
>good

I personally can't wait for the thunderbolt headphone set. Not just for the audio clarity, but for when all other phones eventually move to USB/proprietary headphone jacks in three years I can't wait to see the damage control lagdroid faggots spin.

You know it's coming.

As weird as it may seem to you, I actually don't buy iPhones because I don't like their design and their lack of customisation options.

>>52343621

>I don't like the nicest form factor/operating system on any mobile device

The mental gymnastics you paupers play with yourselves is fantastic.

>>52343601
if they ditch the headphone jack, it will be because all jacks are gone to make it water proof. 100% inductive charging and wireless headphones. Plus abples own new high fidelity audio format in apple music

>>52343635

Oh God of this is true I can't wait.

Apple are truly the apex of modern design.

>>52343647

>no sd slot expansion

>built upon a shitty kernel
>no 3.5mm jack top kek
Why do applecucks think their product is good again?

>>52343814
kernel is fine. sd slots are fucking huge. removable batter = thicker and/or smaller battery and/or, less rigid. if apple ditch the headphone jack, you will most definitely drool at their new solution that replaces it

>>52343495
iOS is too limited for my taste

other than that, they're good phones

>Buying anything other than an iPhone is a reactionary act:


Hello OP.

i have the iphone 6. 64GB. the amount of storage space is super important to state for applefags.

Anywho, i hate this phone with a passion. Everything it does, Android phones do better.

And the irony of being on 4chan with an iphone is that I STILL CANT FUCKING WATCH WEBMS DIRECTLY!

luckily i ordered a Oneplus X a few days ago. it resembles the iphone, and thank jesus, mohammed and buddah, its android.

cant wait to sell this piece of shit of a phone thats starting to break after only 6 months lol.

>>52344013

See, reactionary.

Buying anything other than an Android is a reactionary act: you are choosing not to buy an Android for some reason (spoken or unspoken): either because you hate Android, or are trying too hard, or harbor philosophical beliefs of what your technology should not allow you to do, etc. No one chooses to buy an iphone or what have you (obviously). There's always some psychological turmoil lurking just beneath the surface of that decision.
But not just at the time of purchase. No! Then you constantly need to bother your friends and family about how imessenger bubbles are way better than any other messenger in the market (please use them, faggots?). Or that non-customizable widgets are totally worth the sociological ostracism, that's why you bought a phone right? To stay pleb and not customize the icons. So cool you guys. You're isolated in a cul-de-sac of your own making, but at least you can pretty it up. Constant, ongoing psychologically-draining drama basically.
Buying an Android, by comparison, has no shadowy subtext. Android is THE shit, anything else is shit.

>>52343632
>nicest form factor

The form factor looks basically like an HTC, it's a common slate form factor, except that the HTC back is curved so that it's nicer to hold in the hand. iPhones are flat, so ergonomically inferior to even HTC phones.
Also, iPhones have a boring gay design. Every year is the same old rounded edges shit, made by mister mediocrity himself, Ive. He doesn't know how to design anything unless it has rounded edges or a cushion profile. Literally all icons on iOS look like cushions. So much uniformity and monotony...

Also, iPhone lack very common and useful features such as microSD card trays. They think "the cloud" is everything you need for storage, even when you might be travelling in an area with very low signal. Not to mention how badly customers of the Apple cloud have been screwed by the fappening. Also why would you have to wait to download your movie from the cloud when you could simply have your whole collection of new movies on an mSD card? Just makes no sense. But in the iPhone world, this makes sense... =/

>nicest operating system
Locked customisation is the nicest mobile OS? So, basically it's like in totalitarian communist regimes: you either like what the Apple Party says it's good for you or it's your problem.

You see, that's the similarity between Apple and totalitarian regimes: you guys both like uniformity and no options for personal choices. Apples knows best what's good for you, comrade! Obey.

>>52344327
i can do more meaningful things, and be more productive in my apple ecosystem, than any other combination of devices for my particular needs. So can the majority of consumers. Sure i can't polish a turd all day like android users do, but i'll get by

My note 4 can torrent movies onto its SD card and stream them directly to my TV whilst I use the best 4chan browser going which Apple wouldn't allow me to use because I can't have nice things.

Let me laugh hard here. It's just a phone, dude, get over it. You can make calls on it, send small fragments of text and watch some media on it on the fly.
Productivity and phone just don't mix well in the same sentence. Try matching the speed of typing on a proper PC with that of typing on a smartphone. Yep, that's productivity on a phone.

>>52344387
>yes i can.
Nope.

>>52344406
Yes, which I can do on basically any mobile device today. You're no special snowflake.

>>52344401
and why do i need to type to be productive? I can do just about everything an assistant can just by talking to my watch.

>>52344417
windows has it, but windows has no apps. google dent' have a desktop os so the only continuity you get there is doing everything inside chrome. plus i

>>52344419
You know you get more tired from talking for half an hour, than from typing for half an hour. Talking uses more energy resources. That's not very productive.

>>52344471

>>52344512
And what is productivity? "Hey Siri, add in my Agenda a meeting". That's not profuctivity. That's having an assistant. And Google can do just the same, if not with even better voice decoding.

By the way, real managers pay assistants. Only hipfags go proud of their iPhone.

>>52344585

And only contrarians are proud of having something inferior to an iPhone

>>52343495
I know your an Apple salesperson, so maybe you can relay this up your COC. Unlikely, but I can dream.
Here's why I bought a 1+1 instead of a Crapple.

>better performance than iphone
>MUCH better screen than iphone (bigger, too)
>build quality is actually bearable, doesn't shatter when dropped
>camera is on point, actually better than a lot of dedicated cameras I've owned over the years
>can actually do real work on it, such as programming (which the iphone is incapable of)
>global adblocker and other fun root features that the iphone will literally never have
>plays music without having to go through shittunes or downloading some specialized 'music import' software
>half the price of an iphone

I have an 8GB iPod Touch 3 back in the day which I used for music playing and web browsing and stuff. It was the most fragile piece of memeware I've ever used. The screen shattered when I dropped it four feet onto kitchen tile. The phone I had before my 1+1 (a Kyocera Hydro Vibe, i.e. a bargain bin crapphone I paid $50 for) survived a 6-foot drop onto asphalt with literally no damage whatsoever.
If I'm going to spend a lot of money on a peice of consumer electronics, I expect to get my money's worth. No Apple product released since Android left memehood has been worth buying.

Most of the people I know in real life have Android phones anyway. The "android users are all poor basement dwelling NEETs!" is a lie propagated by people who spent their dad's money on a $900 piece of trash and then try to justify it. The one guy I know who actually does use an iPhone has a jailbroken, heavily modified* iPhone 4 he bought on launch day and still uses. And he's said in the past that whenever it breaks he'll just get a 1+2.

You don't need an Ecosystem. Never heard of Standards? I can sync all my shit between Linux, Android and Windows without issue, with some more cloud options. Only Apple locks your features into an Apple ecosystem, and that's why Apple is lightyears inferior

>>52344429
>google dent' have a desktop os

Actually, they do. Chrome itself includes the entire Chromium runtime, which is what ChromeOS apps run off of - this means that if you're on a computer that's physically compatible with ChromeOS, you can run some Android apps even if you're on Windows.
It's a niche, sure, but it's a fucking cool niche when you see it in action.

>>52344650
Oh yeah this is also true. I completely forgot about that. I can plug my Android phone into either my Linux box or Windows laptop, run a couple terminal commands, and have all my stuff synced as well as backed up.
With apple you either need to go through iTunes (still one of the worst programs still in common use) or some weird 3rd-party mover that's probably a botnet.

Android is more streamlined, faster, more stable, and more beautiful than iOS will ever be.

absolutely no reason to do this
>you shouldn't manage files on a phone
file management on iOS is optimised for the small screen.
>you shouldn't play webms in a browser
the only reason you need webm is because google jewed out and didn't 'support h264 like the rest of the world. i don't know anywhere that uses webm besides 4chan anyway. and if you browse 4chan on your phone you have major metal problems
>you shouldn't expand your phone's storage
the benefits of not having expandable storage outweigh the space it takes up
>you shouldn't be able to copy files without iTunes
no idea what you are talking about
>you shouldn't have widgets on your home screen
you shouldn't. they should be in the today view. Apple had widgets long before android did (in OSX). apple and their users are well aware how useless 99% of them are

>>52344631
What the fuck is the matter with you? Why do you keep dropping your phones?

>>52344696
My Android connects to my Mac and gives me drag and drop transferring It's just iOS devices which suck balls.

The best part about this is that you can actually use any USB keyboard with all recent Android phones.

Can't do that with Apple.

It truely is a cesspool out there. If you really hate apple , the best thing you can do is start buying windows apps, that's the only future i see of an ecosystem that can match apples

>>52344726
Because, unlike applefags who spend all their time trying to justify their purchases, I actually go outside and do things.

>>52344734

I just got an iPAd to use with my piano for MIDI and learning adn stuff and it works great for that.

Apple products are all beta products.

Operating systems:
Yosemite - Lags like piece of shit, graphical user interface is sloppy
El Capitan - Another fast release OS with more features, this time they tried to correct problems in Betamite, some people report having wireless bugs on it.

Computers:
Macbook - single port mac, with shit cpu and no replaceable parts.

Macbook pro 13"- Just a minor update and price rise. woow it's fucking nothing (they are stalling in making something interesting)

Macbook pro 15" - Gets uncomfortably hot when doing really heavy work on 15". Some models throttle.

iMacs - Only high ends are actually worth something but not for the price of 3 grand, problem with boot camp and having to use specific Apple drivers apparently. (on windows)

iPad pro - Tablet with no real professional programs and locked down piece of shit OS. Doesn't even come with pen. Just iPad with bigger screen and better specs with "pro" joke slapped on product name. Yes, base model doesn't even have 3g/Lte how can it even have a "pro" on it

iPhone:
iPhone 6S - let's face it, the 3D touch is gimmick bullshit and you very rarely use it, you paid for this beta test with battery life and increase in weight. Most problems lies in iOS which is too locked down piece of shit.

Misc:

Apple watch - niche product with shit battery and needs phone to get best of it. Stupid, inconvenient and expensive.

Apple pen - A 99 dollar pen accessory for thousand dollar "pro" tablet.

iOS - Locked down piece of shit.

Linux is by far the most powerful OS, but I agree that it's not for the tech dummies. On other hand, what are you even saying? Windows is the first choice for every business company, and Microsoft is all but a small company. Also Google is so widespread they had to divide it and get an umbrella corp to keep it under control. You're not even argumenting, you're just throwing bullshit to sustain your false ideas of anything but Apple

>>52344787
It's different to a desktop OS, as it should be. Managing files in Android is a pain in the ass. Managing files in iOS is in the share menu, which will show you any other apps that support the format. You probably couldn't work out how to play mkvs in iOS either

>Managing files in Android is a pain in the ass.
Sounds like you've never tried.
There's three main ways to 'manage' files on your Android phone:
1: Use an actual file manager. One usually comes preinstalled, but if you're using android 4 or earlier you might need to grab one from the play store.
2: Use Google's quasi-'file manager' that collects stuff on your devices and kinda merges it with stuff on your Drive, so you can treat files on your Drive as if they were on the phone. I'm not too familiar with this one because I don't really use Google Drive.
3. Plug it into your computer (any computer, really) and marvel in the fact that Android exposes your phone's entire OS to the computer, which iPhones will never do.

>>52344877
managing files on a phone or tablet, should not equal a file manager. that is the whole point. File managers in android are fucking retarded. Why do you even need it? Probably to try and fix your android system, and not actually do some thing like moving a pdf/etc around, which iOs does much better

>>52344909

This approach encourages tech illiteracy and discourages learning and building technical competence by managing your files with special tools.

Apple's dogma taken from Jobs is that technology should be something locked down, which makes you dumber and dumber, instead of giving you more options to manage things the way you want.

I do some programming on my phone, and while there are some ok IDEs I much prefer my old style toolchains.
Also, CM's default file manager has a built in text editor, which is neat.

Google Now looks like that, and after pronouncing your query gives you a card (in this case dictionary) and below search results. The card is exactly what you get on Siri/Cortana after a question, but having the search results there mean you can just say "Hamburger" and scroll down for places to eat, instead of saying "where can I eat an hamburger" and getting mad because it doesnt hear you in the noise

All right let's do this then.
>Installing an app you just downloaded from the developer's website
>Moving the album you just torrented into your music folder so you can start playing it immediately
>Making a quick edit to your programming project's source code that you don't feel like opening your IDE for
>Moving files from your USB drive to your phone while you're away from your computer
>Trying to see what's using up most of your phone's storage without having to plug it into your computer
>Moving a song file into your Ringtones folder so you can quickly set it as your ringtone

There's six general use cases, all of which I've done in the last month. To get a little more niche:
>Downloaded a compiler, want to move it into $PATH so I can run it natively from my terminal
>Misplaced by Keepass database, ended up moving it to its own folder in ~/
>Seeing which folder I forgot to give myself write permissions to when aforementioned compiler didn't work
>Deleting the tombstones left over by removed apps (this can be automated but I didn't bother installing SDMaid at the time)
>Writing a quick note to myself in the text editor before I went to bed so I wouldn't forget in the morning

You can't even do most of this on iOS PERIOD, while in Android it's all rolled into the file manager.

I have a HP touchpad and an Android car stereo. I explored them fully at the time. HP touchpad i don't use, and my android stereo just plays the radio now and bluetooth handsfree. Haven't bothered with them since Now has come out, but i keep tabs on all the new features being added, which i can understand from being competent with the core android system. I was just surprised that Google Now is basically just Google search.

>>52345073
Nope.
Google Now first parses your command to see if you were actually telling it to do something related to your phone (ie "Ok Google, show me a map of Slovakia" will open the Maps app and focus on Slovakia). If it can't be reasonably interpreted to be a phone command, it opens up the Google app (not the browser, Google - it's a lightweight cache-based version of the search engine) and does some weird things behind the scenes to try and figure out exactly what you meant. Oftentimes it will pick a 'result' that it thinks you wanted and then read it aloud, while giving you the option to scroll down if it isn't what you wanted.

>Downloaded a compiler, want to move it into $PATH so I can run it natively from my terminal
now you're just being silly. this is on a phone? you don't have a laptop? why are you compiling on a computer with a shit processor anyway?
>Misplaced by Keepass database, ended up moving it to its own folder in ~/
any decent password manager lets you select any decent cloud service to sync with. If you are using a password manager without syncing, there would be absolutely zero reason to have to move the database anywhere on the device, as there's only one storage space
>Seeing which folder I forgot to give myself write permissions to when aforementioned compiler didn't work

You're absolutely right. iPhones suck for programmers who what to compile things on their phones

Hmmm... I am not sure, I sure can afford an iphone, and an imac and a macbook, but I chose samsung... dunno why, but I always felt like apple was limited as it has its own programs and OS and shit... plus I wanted a water resistant phone so samsung galaxy S5 was the obvious choice... Maybe if apple makes a water resistant iphone I might consider buying it. But for now I am happy with my S5. I reeally wanted the S6 but I was afraid i'd break it when taking it out of my pocket while sitting down in a confined space like a car seat, same issue with iphone 6S by the way, I was also afraid of breaking that. But next time I will buy a samsung galaxy S7 or an iphone 7something.
Is there VLC media player for iphone/ios? Because I don't know if my movies will play in ios or if I need to convert them...

>Apple has an app store with all apps on it. If it's something shady, you can side load it.
Android has this too, but not every app is in one of the repositories. Dashchan's primary plugins, for example, are only available for download from their Github page. In iOS you'd have to sideload this from a computer. In Android, you can do it natively.
>ive'e used sub music for the last half decade
I've never heard of "sub music" and Google isn't helping, so I'm assuming you had a stroke again.
>coda app
I literally said "that you don't feel like opening your IDE for". Also, having to download an external application to solve a problem that doesn't exist on Android in the first place is the opposite of a solution.
>iCloud drive
That doesn't even make any sense. How would you get a file from your USB drive onto your phone via iCloud without going through your phone first?
>settings.app or ask siri
Apple is notorious for 'hiding' stuff that really doesn't need to be hidden. App metadata and tombstones that are easily removed on Android get 'stuck' on apple unless you do a full system upgrade, which often just makes it worse.
>you could buy them, or download raw files like NIN stuff and edit them in Garageband to make great looping ring tones without the vocals
holy shit are you retarded?
Your solution to "iphones can't drag & drop music files into ringtones" is "download raw files and then edit them in garageband"?
wow
>now you're just being silly. this is on a phone? you don't have a laptop? why are you compiling on a computer with a shit processor anyway?
Because (1) my phone's processor is top of the line, and more powerful even than some laptop processors, and (2) it's more streamlined to make android apps on android natively. Iphone users wouldn't know this, of course.
>any decent password manager lets you select any decent cloud service to sync with

If all you want is just a phone, why a smartphone anyway? So you can do the kinky stuff that Apple specifically allows you to? Some of us like to get a smartphone to continue out laptop works without bringing it around, and that's why we choose a good smartphone. If all you want is a luxury toy to show friends, then yes, you're absolutely right, iPhones have no competitors

Now what if, say, "Define Productivity" was the name of some obscure progressive rock album from the late 1960s? What then? In your iPhone, you'd be out of luck - you'd have to close that and try your search again, or just admit defeat and open up your browser and search for it manually.
With Google Now, you could just scroll down and see other potential results.

android is more limiting and unpolished then an iPhone as every review since the original phone would point out. If you are a programmer and you want to compile shit on your phone and change file permissions on your password database in home directory, Buy an Aneroid. But an iPhone user just doesn't require to do any of that. and if anything, those things make android phones dumber, not smarter

>>52345369
I know. Apple can't possibly keep up with the sheer amount of features and usability that Android comes with right out of the box. It's not unheard of for someone used to technological squalor such as that which Apple provides to be confused or even afraid of the heavenly technological paradise that Android offers. I think Plato wrote a book with a similar topic.

>>52345353
I don't know, likely because your laptop doesn't have a limited 8,16, 32, or 64 gig limit on it's space? I use my SD card all the time because i have like 100+ audiobooks and 2 anime series on my phone. Also my laptop isn't allowed in the clean room I work in.

Theres nothing irrational about it. iTunes is absolutely infuriating, is riddled with bugs, and Apple has the worst support ever. Try looking up how to solve a problem on their site is terrible. There is either a million other people complaining about the same problem that never gets answered and the only "help" you ever receive is by retards telling you to try and restore it.

Continue mindlessly swallowing Apple's load though.

>>52345450
Where are you ever living? Does apple even filter your Internet? It's not like that, iPhones are not globally the best available. It may have been back in the first models, but it's widespread that they're just expensive toys for rich kids or dumb whores

I ordered a LG G4 a few days ago, because I wanted a phone with a good camera and a bigger screen than what I currently have (LG Optimus G), the fuckhuge 1440p resolution, 3 gigs of ram and a panel that looks great is a bonus too

additionally I work with apple products and have worked with multiple (ipad 2, 3, 4, air, iphone 6, ipod) and did not like the OS at all

the only thing I liked about the iphone 6 is the aluminium package, other than that - it's not for me

>>52345530

>If you buy it as a smart phone you buy it as a status symbol
No I buy a smartphone because it's a computing device. You seem to have us confused with normal people who literally only use their phone for texting, facebook, and phone calls.

>no matter how 'flashy' your android phone might be, people will still think you're poor
Why should I care what people think about my income or net worth?

Buying anything other than a Windows phone is a reactionary act: you are choosing not to buy a Windows phone for some reason (spoken or unspoken): either because you hate Microsoft, or are trying to spend wisley, or harbor philosophical beliefs of what your technology should allow you to do, etc. No one chooses to buy an iPhone or Android or what have you (obviously). There's always some psychological turmoil lurking just beneath the surface of that decision.

But not just at the time of purchase. No! Then you constantly need to bother your friends and family about how imessage is way better than Facebook Messanger (please use it, guys?). Or that customisable widgets are totally worth the, its 2016 nobody ACTUALLY gives a fuck, that's why you bought a phone right? To customize the icons and not be socially ostracized. So cool you guys. You're isolated in a cul-de-sac of your own making, but at least you can pretty it up. Constant, ongoing psychologically-draining drama basically.

Buying an Windows phone, by comparison, has no shadowy subtext. Windows 10 is synthesis, anything else is antithesis.
