Is technology made to break?

>>55654549
Of course you dumb goyim, how else would they sell the newest shit?

>keep my hardware in good condition regardless.

Sounds about right.

Consumer trash =! Technogy

This basically only applies to iPhones. Most people have gorilla glass 3/4 on their Android phones so this isn't really a problem. In addition to that most people use protective cases as well.

However as tech advances things become obsolete every ~4 years so you have to buy the latest stuff to keep up with vydias or want better battery life.

iPhones are known to be gimped with iOS updates and have the most delicate screens possible.

It's true. I treated my note 4 like a queen, rooted and debloated her. Now after 2 years of use the performance is dropping rapidly.
My nephew visited me and showed me his Pokémon Go account. Interested I also installed it and it runs horrible.
My nephews brand new 300€ smartphone run it perfectly.

I miss the times were my Motorola Razer Blade was the coolest thing around. It still runs perfect to this day.

Well, running new OS on old phones may actually make it slower but how is that different than anyone?

Apple gimps older iPhones on purpose to encourage people to get the latest one. This is why iPhone users refusing to get the 9.3 update when they're on iOS 7 is a thing.

>Apple gimps older iPhones on purpose to encourage people to get the latest one
Are you retarded? That is what happens when you give a phone with older hardware a software with more features that is made to run on newer phones.

That is not gimping on purpose, that is natural, is the same with any phone.

>>55655007
>iPhones are known to be gimped with iOS updates

I have an iPhone 5 with iOS 9 running smoothly without the slighest difference in battery usage.

If iPhones get gimped with updates I don't know wanna know what Android "does" with four year old hardware.

>>55654944
The only phones designed to last are iPhones, since Apple a. makes money on the App Store and other services, so wants you to keep using your phone and 2. Apple is in the market for the long haul, and wants the return business. This is also why Apple supports their devices long-term with firmware updates.

It's the fly-by-night Android handset makers, who don't have anything to lose if your phone breaks or you never use it again after you buy it, that have no incentive to build devices that last.

>>55655115
So Android OEMs are doing consumers a favour by never releasing any software updates? Nice rationalization family member.

>>55655165
That's the joke. 4 year old hardware does not get the newest Android updates. Manufacturers abandon their phones after 2 years.

>>55655115
Apple is actually suffering a downfall in iPhone sales because iPhone users have less reason to upgrade nowadays.

iOS is a lightweight OS and hardware already reached a level of development that is capable of doing pretty much anything a phone needs to do.

That used to be a problem with older iPhones that actually had a shitty SoC and they werent able to keep up with software development.

If you have something like an iPhone 5s your phone should last more than enough.

>>55655165
Same here. And we are still getting iOS 10.

That is unheard of in a phone from 2012 in the Android world. Its one of the reasons I never really considered trying Android.

>massive shift to built-in batteries
>OS updates that cripple older generations of hardware

iPhones are probably the worst offenders since you're pretty much forced to buy a new one every 2-3 years

>>55654549
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planned_obsolescence

I don't see hardware obsolescence. It's always more software based.

Does nobody play old video game systems or mess around with old PCs? Still works perfectly fine so long as you run the OS and software it came with.

Phones, on the other hand, seem to get slower and slower while gaining no new features. If anything, you'd think phones would get faster as they optimize everything for the maturing hardware.

It's not like they are on purpose made to break, more like that they aren't made to last too long.
There is a fine distinction between the two, which autists, who think everyone in the world is out to get them might not be able to see.

>>55655194
Actually they do, OTA updates exist. Most people are on Android lollipop by now.

>>55655242
Nope, more people want to do more than call and text on their phones and iPhones can't deliver. That's why apple is not selling as many iPhones now.

>>55654549
Who remembers the old sony countdown fuck your shit up timer they used the hide in thier laptops

Planned obsolescence makes a lot of sense when you look at how big the mobile industry is.

Nah. Iphones do anything 99% of the smarphone users need. There is actually more people switching from android to iPhone than ever before.

>Most people are on Android lollipop by now
Actually more than 50% of the market is still on older versions than lollipop

>>55656033
iPhone 5 I mean

iPhone 4s with iOS 9 still goes strong. No need to upgrade.

At least some things are alright in this world.

>>55656180
What is to explain? iPhones are expensive, of course they are going to have a small market share. Some people cant justify that in their budget.

You really think iPhones are lacking something the public wants? What would that be?

I'm sure yes, if consumers desired thin fragile devices they probably shouldn't drop them on the pavement. Retards.

Then only thong the iPhone can't do is torrent your anime shit and tweaking your mobile "games" saves. Leave androidfag.

They didn't have Pokemon go.

They don't have battery life.

They are just worse while costing 5x more.

Compare redmi note 3 pro to iPhone 6s plus. RN3P is smaller and lighter in every dimension, but has a bigger screen, and the battery lasts twice as long. My RN3P was $200 and has 96gb storage. Why pay $999 for the iPhone 6s plus again?

Apple has been in a decline, people are waking up after paying $5k for 3 years of broken iPhones.

>>55654612
>how else would they sell the newest shit?

Who buys a new phone when their old one breaks?

I have 8 phones and none of them broke.

worse how?
Different people have different needs. To bring some perspective, here is why I buy iPhones

>faster than any android phone
>best looking UI
>applications consistent with the system UI
>more practical UI (one layered home-screen/dedicated widget tab/swipe to return/3d touch)
>does everything I need
>just works/doesnt lag
>pretty much the best build quality on market
>great camera/screen/SoC/storage
>great design
>software updates for years and years
>almost no depreciation, best resell value
>more secure/encrypted
>apple isnt interested in selling my data for ad money
>best 1st & 3rd party and dev support
>imessage

Because there aren't any phones designed to last at least a minimum of 5 years....right?

You choose what you buy, nobody is forcing you.

>>55655265
Nigga with every update your iPhone gets slower.
What do you think happen with the iPhone 4?

>>55656471
see>>55655242

>>55656471
I think we all agree that iPhone 4 was the worst iPhone ever.

>>55656565
iPhone4 design was amazing. It was MILES ahead of anything else at the time.

>>55656589
The design was great, but not the hardware.
