what do you mean "if"?

>>61317986
they're good phones, sure, if compared to basic, <$100 models

This locked down system has its advantages:
It stops people from breaking their own phones and not knowing how to fix them. People like this for some reason.
It also provides a consistent user experience. Every single thing is the same, and so patching, software, is all made extremely easier due to the uniform nature of the software environment and the hardware.
It's also better for security, since if people are locked out of doing anything on their own phones, so are other people.

Apple's moving to a situation where you 'buy a phone' and that actually means you're leasing the service to use that phone for 2 years. All your data, personalisation, etc, is stored on a server somewhere, and you grab the phone and it syncs to that data and gives you what appears to be 'your phone' even though you could pick up any other phone, put in your details and get that data. Actually that's a little different than what apple is doing currently, but I can see that becoming common later. I mean, imagine a system where you can't really break into someone's phone because no data is actually stored on it. It's all streamed from a server and it's the login details that matter.
One day.

My dad used to have an iPhone 4 as he was given it as a gift. He didn't like how locked down it was and he didn't like how officious Apple was. He eventually returned the device and went out of his way to purchase a far superior Android smartphone.

Why do people give two shits about custom ringtones, are you still in high school?

>>61317982
Why would anyone purchase an iPhone these days? I cannot see any advantage.

>>61317982
If you want a phone that has apps get an iPhone
If you want a smartphone get an Android phone

The iPhone is marketed to people who dont know fuck about technology, that's why 90% of girls hound their parents for an iPhone (that and the female competition where they have to be like or better than their friends)

Iphones are for women and elitists who think they know it all about technology
My girlfriends gay cousin said he understands technology because he does "software development in college" and I know nothing about it because I dont go to college

Don't bother fighting macfags they will defend their decision because admitting they made a mistake will give them an aneurysm

For 1$ in store and 20-40$ per month you can feel better about yourself while you're flipping these burgers or making latte for other burger flippers.

I Would rather pay for an android than have a free iphone. Kinda nullifies your poorfag argument, no?

>>61317982
I'd still rather have an iPhone than a lagdroid

>>61319921

>>61319921
lagdroid is a name that only rings true for single core CPUs which are all but completely gone now.

yeah i'm with you. the apple ideology sucks shit. android lets me do all the /g/ stuff.

however for a normie like my mom the apple streamlined smart phone experience is better.
