What's actually wrong with iPhones?

NEETs can't afford them

they are the choice phone of emotionally stable, functional people.

theyre too perfect.

As someone who owns both an iphone and an android, both have their advantages, but the iphone's main appeal to normies is that it's marketed well and they know how to use it. Android suffers from some really bad fragmentation even within the OS, a phone from google doesn't work the same way one from samsung does, meanwhile every IOS device works exactly the same. From a security standpoint IOS is much more safe than andorid as well, due to the way it handles sandboxing.

However, if you know anything about what you're doing and have any desire to customize your phone android is really the way to go, and it has the appeal of being (mostly) open source.

If I were to respond to your question directly, I'd say: overpriced, locked down, and apple practices planned obsolesce.

an android phone from 2012 might not run as nice as a new one, but if properly taken care of it'll run just as fast as it did the day you bought it. Then there's hardware things like SD cards and removable batteries to consider. iPhones are just like any other apple product, they're marketed well, they work fine with little fuss, but they're the most casual product on the market. They are easy to use as intended, near impossible to use in another way though, and the way they're intended to use is all designed around draining your wallet even more. (you have to pay for ringtones on iPhone through itunes, whereas in android you just put mp3's in the ringtone folder, as well as slowing down old phones with new firmware and not allowing you to downgrade to force upgrades etc.) iPhone gives the appearance of elegance however, the whole "it just works" meme is more or less pretty true, it's just that it only works one specific way.


to summarize: both are good but iPhones are expensive, you can only do what apple says you can, and they are essentially a device designed to suck money out of you over a long period of time. They are the console of phones.

I was an Android cuck since smartphones became a thing. I scoffed at iPhone users like everyone else on /g/.

I got a 7 to try on a huge discount because my S6's battery was all but dead. I will never look back. I fucking love iPhones.

Also having iMessage has literally gotten me laid.

It's just works.
Someone just needs to prove their superiority by troubleshooting and solving problems 90% of the time which they cannot do using Apple products, therefore they deem iPhones as "brainlet devices"

>>61636250
>you have to pay for ringtones on iPhone through itunes
Ehhh kinda outdated now, you still do, but you can upload it to your phone and set it as a ringtone.

>>61636257
Another itot gettin icucked, whewhh boyy, I am sorry your parents didn't love you enough as a child to teach you any better.

>>61636274
Only if you know what you're doing, you have to convert it to that file format first (aiff I think it is?) and most people who use iphones have no clue how to do that. It's much easier just to use itune's included feature to clip your own mp3 and pay the 99 cents.

>>61636153
Nothing. It's the actual epitome of phone trchnology currently available

>>61636153
nothin, comfy as fuck..does what it needs to, prefer my z3 though.

>>61636250
i too have both android and iphone, used a Z3 for years, recently had an iphone6 on the cheap, love them both, niggles like iphones putdate and you have to upgrade buy are a pain and the close all background apps isnt a feature like on android (that i know of anyways) but each have their pros and cons which i reckon kinda balance out (unless you ricin then its android all day) ...after being android for ever the iphone 6 was a good change, will it stop me having the latest phone on upgrade?? probably not, but thats from a bisness standpoint not a tech preference..get iphone7 (or 8 if its out) on upgrade, sell it for silly money get a second hand z4/5 and still hav chnge left over..oh, and an iphone 6 thats good for atleast one more ios update.

There's nothing wrong with iPhones, I just don't use them because Android's suit me better and I'd rather not spend $1000 on a phone.

>>61636668
I bought my 7 for $430 brand new. iPhones are only that expensive when they first come out. Why would you by a phone at launch anyway?

>>61636722
Literally no difference between 720p and 4k resolution on a 4.7 inch screen other than power consumption. The 8 is probably going 1080~ due to the new screen size though.

>>61636343
>It's much easier just to use itune's included feature to clip your own mp3 and pay the 99 cents
Since when did they start charging for this? Last time I did it it cost nothing.

>no headphone jack
>no hardware back button
if the iphone 7 had these I'd buy one

nothing at all well at least before removinf the headphone jack it was the reason i got an s8 plus over an iphone 7 plus

>>61636840
This. 1080p with around 300dpi is the holy grail. 4K on tiny screens is bloat. You will only need 4K if you are into those cardboard VR crap.

>>61636840
The phone is usually running @1080p but when open 4k content the screen resolution changes to 4k and there's a huge difference between 1080p and 4k.
Also 4k is a lot better with VR

>>61636917
>I've never used a 4k phone and The only screen I've used is a 720p iPhone screen and i know that 4k is a bloat

huge ass bezels

low resolution display

small battery / poor battery life

gay closed garden app store allows no fun or shit like adblocking or customizing

no sd slots (not so much the storage but the convenience to store things if phone gets physically damaged, or popping the sdcard from your dashcam in to show someone footage quickly)

massive premium in cost for what amounts to subpar limiting hardware ($800 phones with 16gb storage)

can't use webms


and the biggest one, the BIGGEST one of all:

"no default apps". What you get on the phone is what you deal with. You use safari, you use imessage, you use whatever comes with it. Even if you can install another browser it will always default to safari go fuck yourself

I pay $38/mo for: unlimited long distance, unlimited calling, 4gb of data/mo, and my bill drops 1% per year on publicmobile (canada, biggest carrier).

Even if I dropped $1000 on an S8 I am spending less money than you. Contracts are for poor people doomed to be poor by stupid fucking decisions.

Aren't the phone's flash memory cheaply made, which results in them become very slow after years of usage, even when installing a custom rom?

>>61638654
Use f2fs

>>61637472
idk how it works where you live but here when you buy a phone over a contract the price of the dataplan is increased compared if you bought the phone seperately


so for example let's say you're on a 2 year data plan

$600 phone bought off contract
$50 a month data plan

= $1800 over 2 years

$300 phone bought on contract
$50 a month data plan + $20 for the phone

= $1980 over 2 years

I've never seen it ending up less expensive compared to buying off contract.

>>61637326
>Lag or not

>S6's battery was all but dead
Stepfather had this happened to him, he bought 6s and now raves about iOS being SO QUICK. This is the same guy that bought a 3K Elitebook that had 512GB nvme but everything else was just integrated graphics and hyperthreaded i7. He has a ton of cash but splurges in the wrong places, I feel this is the case with most iPhone users/poor people.

Unfortunately for you shills, there is literally nothing wrong with iPhones. What makes Apple so good in the eyes of their customers, is the simplicity and the efficiency of the services provided by their devices. Android has some strong points, only in the eyes of a teenager with time to waste. That's why ricing and customization are often quoted as the strong points of android, especially by neets and basement dwellers.

Additionnally, the very existence of malware apps within the official google play store should be enough proof of the nonexistence of security. Devices running android are'nt known for their reliability : Samsung (explosions), Wiko, LG (bootloops)... You'll have either to be a kid or a robot(neet, anime loving otakus...) to enjoy the lackuster android experience.

And as we all already know, these people (who represents 50% of android userbase, the other half being pajeets) are not worth your time. Their income (if they have any) is not sufficient enough to access the premium experience Apple can offer. This results in bitter criticism towards the firm, if they are'nt putting the blame on jews/migrants/corporations/their parents for their shitty lives.

I'm very proud to be part of the Apple experience, and I love to show it to everyone. My newly acquired iPhone 7 is a prime example of technology serving a fully grown man to achieve his goals in life.

Your math is all wrong. If he's paying $70 a month for a data plan, only a portion of that payment is for the phone (usually 25-30 bucks per month) and the rest is for the plan..

So even 25 x 24 months = 600
+ his 430 down payment.

Comes out to 1030 over the period of 2 years..

>>61639335
>Comes out to 1030 over the period of 2 years..

Without including the data plan without a phone?

So he paid 1000 just for a phone compared to the 600 if he paid upfront?

I have a Windows phone

Nothing, just that my one plus 5 is not only better but also has lesser marked up pricing.

And I guess if it matters, Android is closer to free software than iOS.

They are unusable without JB and barely usable with it:
Locked bootloader + closed source OS - phones get obsolete when Apple decides.
No file system access - either from the phone or from the PC.
Transition animations block UI elements.
Slow as molasses(ifags are conditioned to call it "smooth").
The hardware itself is alright, except the FP sensor on front. But hardware determines, like, 20% of the experience nowadays.

>>61640161
>6gb ram still have to deal with closing apps, restarting, random apps crashing, clearing cache.

Sounds like iphones after a couple ios "updates" to give you that nice feeling of planned obsolescence, while android phones keep going strong and just as smooth as the day you bought them.

That's about it. I don't even mind the price.
I've recently switched from an iPhone(3G to 5s) to Galaxy S7.
The only thing i miss is the iMessage and overall quality(Samsung is very close, though).
I don't see myself ever going back.

>>61640394
Bullshit. Android phones rarely get updates from the oem. Best example is my LG G4, piece of shit phone that annoys me every day, I am definetly considering switching to ios. It's super slow and it gets worse every day

>the Apple experience

I use Nexus devices and iOS devices so will try to provide a non fanboy opinion:
itoys are fine because they work out of the box and work well when you're using them in corporat settings with many other iOS devices. ishit is good if all you do is extensive reading, web browsing, comms within their limited ecosystem. iOS also has impressive standby times compared to Android from my experience moving off a Nexus. There is also the EOL times to consider. Do you want an itoy with longer support but updates that make the device shit or do you want an Android that is going to lose official updates after ~2 years (and doesn't get updates on OS release because of OEM lock for most devices)?

Lagdroid is way better if you're doing everything on your phone. You can transform it into the BEST media consumption device with custom codecs, hostfile adblocks, app specific adblocks, UI customization, fs access, and more open networking interfacing with various protocols etc.

itoy for work, Android for personal is best option imo

Apple relies on new hardware sales, so they purposely bloat their new versions of iOS to artificially make users get newer hardware sooner. There is no legitimate way to flash back to an older version of iOS.

this isn't really a thing anymore since the 5S and its 64-bit SoC, it's a meme as tired as people pretending android is inherently laggy

>But hey its better than Android devices where they get no update at all

Again, do Android or iOS upgrades really matter? At this point it seems like you have to purposefully install a virus or give away your info to be hacked.

>>61642993

iOS 10 is noticeably faster on the iPhone 6s than iOS 9 was.

>>61639913
What android phone is that?

Nothing at all. That's why so many people choose to buy them over any other single phone.

>>61636250
You're fucking retarded and you've totally missed the point. Then again, I don't expect much from this board. The way you look at both devices is retarded.

>>61636250
Idk how true the safety thing is though. I've been using android since the very beginning, (and i was like 13 at the time), and i never got hacked once. I also use my phone very often, and go on some sketchy sites. I'm just not a literal retard. I guess thats kinda your point though. Overall i agree with you, its just hard for me to imagine people dumb enough to get hacked (though ive met plenty)

Isn't this already forbidden by some laws? At least in Europe I'm pretty sure any software modifications to your phone don't void the warranty for hardware as long as you can prove that the software is not at fault.

>one button for everything
>walled garden
>locked down phone
that about sums it for me

Apple does make great phones, but its not a good fit for everyone.

I've spent the last two hours trying to use iTunes to move music from an old iPhone to a new one. Turns out it's impossible. On Android I click "share with xyz" and I'm done.

At least iPhones gets at least 3 years worth of software support. You buy an android you're lucky if you get the next version of the OS.

>>61646979
And when has an iPhone or Android phone been hacked without the updates or the user being a retard?

The 5S is getting an iOS11 update. That is so far from planned obsolence.

When waas the last time any of their competitors did something even remotely the same? If you have a non-Nexus Android phone, you're in good luck if you get updates for the next two versions, sometimes you only get to have an update for one version.

It literally has a cult following it. I hate it. You dont have to buy every Apple product.

"Oh you have an Apple product you must be very XXXX" is so dumb and I dont want to be lumped together with them. Thats why I hate it.

It's a meme about the bubble colors. The vast majority of chicks use iPhones. If a non-iPhone sends them a message, the text bubble will be green, if it's sent from an iPhone and thus memecrypted and runs over internet instead of SMS/MMS or something, the bubble will be blue. The chicks prefer the blue color, and admittedly it fits the UI better than green. crApple is literally fucking over droidfags by doing that.

Next to nothing for most people. The majority of people that complain about iPhone hardware or software are ones that have too much time on their hands.

I'm don't like that my apps are forced to be aligned to the top left, but it has virtually zero negative effect in my day to day use of my phone, nor can I be bothered to replace my 6S with something else as long as it maintains current performance. It's just not something I concern myself with.

>Non having unlimited data and micro fiber at home
Anyway, macOS has better compatibility with iOS that android has with anything on the market. I can easily Airplay any file within any of my devices in less than 5 seconds.

>overpriced for the specs
Android has shit optimization hence the need of more numbers. It only took android 6 years to win a real daily usage test for the first time.

>no headphone jack
Carrying a 4cm adapter INCLUDED for free isn’t that hard. Just stick it into your headphones and you won’t even notice it’s there. You only want a reason to bitch and argue.

>Battery duration isn’t great
Want me to tell you how I know you have no experience with iPhones?

You are mad because you need self confidence about you purchasing a “flagship” that won’t have the latest OS until next year. You have no tech support and you probably can’t even afford your own phone, you are a sad neet sending this from his Galaxy A7 2015 in contract, a contract that your dad pays.

You jerk yourself every night watching YouTube videos and dreaming of having the Samsung Galaxy S8+ to get friends. You need validation though technology arguments but you forget that the only rule in life is “don’t be ugly, don’t be poor”.

>>61650527
It's not going to die within 2 years

>>61636153
it never has any good apps I want. also if you want to sideload apps you download from your PC, you have to jailbreak the shit and void your warranty. fuck that shit.

Long time android user. I've been too poor to afford ios devices until I were gifted a 6+ for my services.

I used it for about 3 months then traded up to a 7. It were hard to tell if I actually enjoyed the software and performance or of it were just that feeling of having a new toy.

6 months later I'm fucking dying inside because I have the worst urge to learn Xcode and I have 8 iPhones laying around my room waiting to be violated.

I'm currently using an s7 and it's feels disgusting. The pixel, iphone and the v10 make love to my hands when I type.


I'm not as big a ricefag these days. Ive grown too fond of the iphone home screen and it's touch gimmic. Now I permenantly use evie. It lacks so many features but I realize I never actually had a need for them. I use my phone like a remote for my stronger or dedicated devices and for music.

Last week I had decided to give in and stay using ios if I found a 7 before a pixel. A 7 in the color I like came to my door 2 days ago and I'm buying a 128GB LB to swap in tomorrow.

I've never purchased an iphone or apple product. I fix them for friends or random and they give me extras or spare parts. These toys a amazing when you know how to use them to their full potential and when they're free.

Most of all I miss wordflow. My thumb felt amazing after my first week of trying it. Much faster than swype on smaller phones.

Not because of anything Apple, really. Mostly they're just using recent Sony sensors.

Software updates for 4 years? Try about every Xiaomi phone ever.

I got an Iphone 6 as a gift.

Although it works, and I haven't had a single hangup I have some real fucking complaints.

Can't easily just put music/videos on the damn thing without Ijews, there is alternative software out there, but the point is that I don't want any fucking software to drag and drop music onto my phone.

Same thing with photos, except I can't even just use Itunes and locally copy across my photos, it wants me to use cloudjew to copy photos across. I ended up having to use dropbox.

ZERO customization, you better hope you like the big dumb buttons for normies taking up unnecessary space and blindingly white GUI because there is fuck all you can do about it.

Forget emulators, forget custom software, forget anything interesting, you are just shit out of fuck when you want to accomplish any simple task on an iphone.

>>61653697

This is the most important part for me. We have iPads lying around here that cannot use half of the app versions you can install from the store right now. It is ridiculous.
