i've owned every iphone since the 4 but this will be the first time i skip a generation. that stupid fucking screen plus losing the home button is just too much. most of the new features will come to older phones anyway so there's really no point upgrading from my 7+
>>
>>62469495
It's Apple, they can do anything they want and their cult will still defend them and buy their crappy products. The iPhone has gotten away with:
- No expandable storage
- Removed headphone jack
- Irreplaceable battery
- Overpricing
- Unable to move icons to a certain point on the home screen without it lining itself with the other icons
- Poor customisation e.g. launchers, widgets etc
- Forced to use iTunes when transferring data on Windows
>>
>>62471567
They can’t though. I’ve upgraded to every new phone since the 5. This is the first year I’m skipping. I will never buy an iPhone with a notch in the display and the 8 isn’t an upgrade worth my money.

>>62471719
I'm sticking with my 6 for a long while but I'm pretty sure they're not going to add the headphone jack back. Maybe they will because Jobs is dead but I got a feeling its gone for good. The 6 definitely has a few more years of life in it at least though so its all good. Best case scenario is they release some lower end iPhone (thinking like iPhone 5c but a 4.7 screen) with a headphone jack and no water resistance.

we've seen this image like half a dozen times, pajeet.

for one thing, the camera specs are grossly misleading. the sgs6 does 4k at 30fps and 1080p at 60fps max. the iphone x does twice that for each.

it's this kind of inattention to the details that makes people think of apple as the innovative company and android manufacturers as derivative.

Why do Android users boast about better hardware specs compared to an iPhone?

The iPhone has always outperformed the best Android phone on the market, and destroyed them in every benchmark imaginable.

Last years iPhone, completely outperforms the Galaxy Note 8 today.

When it comes down to it, iOS is so well optimized, the iPhone doesn't need massive hardware to run like butter. Yet, Android is such shit, and poorly optimized, it needs hardware specs that can power the space shuttle just to run the latest Android OS.
>>
>>62469495
A funnier thing is that applefags are triggered by this. The whole sane /g/ ridicules and makes fun of them but they think that the people are jealous. Feel the level of selfishness and stupidity of applefags.
>>
>>62471969
It's not that the home button per se is so great but the entire OS has been designed and optimized around it for 10 years. It's stupid to change it especially when they could have just created a soft home button with 3d touch.
>>

Made for variety of hardware and such, whereas iOS is made to run on just iPhone.

Give them a break. Consumer thing, you boast about whatever you bought and justify your purchase.
>>
>actual software updates keeping you safe from vulnerabilities
>encrypted by default
>biometric information stored locally
>actually committed to protect your data

The main difference between an iOS device and an android one is that when you go with iOS you buy a product from Apple, when you go with android, you become the product.

I’m more interested in my privacy and security than in flashy gimmicks.

Apple gets most of its profit from selling hardware and software. Google, on the other side, gets most of its profit from advertising.

And also if the battery just dies or if the manufacturer warns that a faulty batch is risk of catching on fire, meaning you can replace the battery with a non-faulty one without having to send back your phone.

Also if you're unsatisfied with the battery supplied with your phone, you can upgrade to a better one with better capacity.

But this is fucked because it wont be around long... i have read the patents that apple filed on subscreen camera sensors and subscreen touch id fingerprint sensors.. they made a few but the yields werent there yet

so this will be likely gone by next gen and people will have "that iphone"
