I was actually considering an iPhone 7 until I realized they removed the head phone jack and they proceeded to charge 160 for wireless headphones. Kill yourself if buy either.

>Motorola ever being relevant

Top Kek

>>56581805
They added "of any real significance" specifically for that

>>56581846
they cared enough at the time to spend have the review article on the motorolla bitching about it, and then had every single picture with the dongle sticking out of it

its amazing what the threat of losing review units has on these """"journalists"""""

>>56581805
AirPods may be wireless but they have the same terrible sound quality like EarPods. Literally nothing changed except we now have two competing standards and it's not like apple will ever add lightning to their macbooks so what the fuck were they thinking? USB-C or fucking stay with 3.5mm.

But my Lememe LeMax :(

>>56581805
>>Moto Z exists
Is the Moto Z the 'new' Nexus 6?

I won't move to a different phone, the build quality of my Motorola Nexus 6 is too fucking good, way better than any chink shit.

ArsTechnica (both writers and commenters) is disgustingly biased in favor of Apple.

>>56585034
Literally put their foot down a couple years back and basically said they would ban anyone posting negative comments on their Apple articles. Bunch of fucking cunts.

>>56581805
The Moto Z is irrelevant. The Moto G however is very relevant.
>>56585034
It seems more split nowadays. There's a lot of Android love.

Those faggots aren't even including the right dongle. They have a male lighting to 3.5 mm headphone jack. Belkin was closer with two female lightning connectors. Why would pic related be hard to make? Like what the fuck is the reason why the engineers of a billion dollar company couldn't shit out something better than what I made in paint in 3 minutes?

>>56581837
I was really hoping this would be the year iOS gets a file explorer and the iPhones look better but it was disappointment all around.

>>56581877
(((journalists)))

>>56583081
I honestly wouldn't have an issue with the headphone jack removal if Apple used USB type C instead, but no, they used a mobile only proprietary connector. Absolute horse shit is what that is. You're 100% right about the Mac thing too.

>>56585251
This is why I call them ArschTechnica.

>>56586350

But you must admit that this changes everything, again.

>>56586467
No, it only changes iShit, and at that just their mobile devices. Glad I hopped off that train when everything went gay in 2013.

>>56586350
>why the engineers of a billion dollar company couldn't shit out something better than what I made in paint in 3 minutes?

Because two ports looks cluttered.

And that's what it's all about: looks.

>>56586904
>And that's what it's all about: looks.
For anyone who isn't a teenage girl, it's about functionality. That's why I use Android phones. It's obviously not about looks either, because if it was the iDevices wouldn't have those disgusting antenna bands, a pencil penis, and now a tail to connect headphones. All Apple needs to do is make a 4.7 and 5.5 version of the SE/5s/5 but no, they make horse shit.

>>56581805
I'll be honest I don't ever plug headphones into my iphone.

I connect my phone to my car stereo but that's through the lightning connector, hands free is through bluetooth but admittedly bluetooth audio is horrendous.

I don't walk around with headphones in my ears at all times because i'm not a fucking jackass

>>56581837
You do realize they include a pair of earphones with a lightning connector, right?

>>56581805
what the fuck is a Moto Z

>>56587013
>For anyone who isn't a teenage girl, it's about functionality.

You over-estimate 90% of consumers.

>>56587092
Yeah, headphones that won't work with anything that isn't from Apple. For fucks sake they won't even work in Macs. iCucks cucked again.

What a bunch of pussies

Even if I haven't been desentisized to so much shit here, I wonder how the fuck does that count as 'trolling'?

>>56587642
>trolling

It's a catch-all. Anything that upsets the special snowflakes is "trolling", and thus, leads to whatever action they deem necessary to exercise their small amount of power.

>>56587197
Yeah this. The average (American) consumer does literally no research at all and knows next to nothing about consumer tech, other than how to bumble their way through the simplest of tasks. When they look at phones, all they see are iPhones and things that are not iPhones. With all the Note 7's exploding I've seen comment after comment of people saying how they'll never look at another Android again, as if ALL Android's are exactly like Samshit (which is what the average consumer that only knows Samshit thinks).

>>56585251

not anymore. apparently the comments on front page articles are almost unmoderated now.

>>56587746
Not that guy (actually the guy he responded to). Amerifat here. Do people in other countries not do the same? Please tell me that Europeans aren't this stupid so that I can have some hope in humanity.

>not recognizing that everyone uses the included headphones
>not recognizing that nobody NEEDS to critically listen to music when their battery is low
>not realizing that I have been waiting for Apple to make this shit for years and its finally close, custom-BT earphones which don't make a fucking deafening seal and work seamlessly between Apple's shit

Sammy is the biggest and most profitable Android smartphone maker. All their relentless publicity gets them recognition, good and bad.
Why do I have to explain this? Why is it not immediately obvious?

LOL

I miss keyboards on phones. Blackberry bold was god tier back in the day. Typing on a touch phone is ass cancer.

If they were all no holds bared anything goes, 4chan's only appeal would anonymity. And we know that should never be the case

You only get pure free speech with anonymity. Are you against free speech? Or do you only support "free speech lite" in theory?

>>56589119
4chan's appeal should be anonymity along with it's lenient rules. Not JUST anonymity.

>>56588577
You don't anon, I understand that concept fully. It still doesn't change my opinion that Samsung with their bastardized software gives Android a bad name. I was helping a co-worker the other day with turning off Facebook notifications on his brand new GS7, he literally had gotten this phone the day before. Just navigating through the settings and menu's was producing the kind of lag I expect from a low-end Android from 2014.

Samshit flagship users deserve just as much scorn as iPhone users. $500 on a phone is fucking retarded.

>>56589885
$700 on a phone that explodes is beyond retarded. Really hilarious actually.
