As a person who has worked in telecom for over 15 years…shhhhhhhhh…
You like android better? Cool. You like IOS better? Cool. They do essentially the same thing in different ways with different pros and cons. What works best for one person may not be for someone else.
In 2024 if you’re arguing on the internet (or perhaps worse, in real life) about which phone is better you need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and take an assessment of your priorities.
Also, because I love downvotes apparently, this also applies to windows/linux/mac OS. Unless I’m on my Mac like “Gee I sure wish this was more open source, if only there was an alternative.” I don’t need you telling me to switch to linux bro.
It’s a relevant topic to talk about. You wrote so much yet said nothing except I don’t like seeing people talk down to apple users. Which i agree with a little but people will talk about relevant things like smart phone choice whether you like it or not.
Also have you tried switching to linux?
It’s comparing hardware, not OS
What about the need to tell others how to and what to discuss in their free time with their social circle? Can I do that?
- be me
- browsing lemmy
- see meme about how one phone bad other good
- get PTSD from having to hear about it for 15 years
- stupidly go into comments and read more people arguing about which phone good
- have flashback
- On the sales floor in 2010
- A grown man is telling me I need to pull an iPhone 4 from my ass and sell it to him or he’ll burn my house down
- snap back to reality (moms spaghetti)
- comment saying everyone should just get over the whole phone thing
- People argue more and tell me I should let people discuss things
- flashback to when a grown woman cried and told me I ruined her life because they were out of the specific color of iPhone 5 she wanted while her boyfriend kept literally screaming at her that Android is better and she’s an idiot for getting an iPhone anyway.
- make a stupid fake greentext comment to heal the pain

So do you whip out this copypasta anytime people try to have a fun discussion about something or?
I’m invested because higher adoption of my preferred platform causes prices of said platform to drop, making the platform economically attractive to develop for.
Fewer users causes less effort to go into the platform by larger corporations due to lower revenue streams, diminishing updates and feature count over time.
Eventually, users leave due to pain points not being addressed. Shrinking user bases causes independent developer talent to focus on other platforms since the economics no longer work in the marginal case.
The shrinking independent developer contributions to the ecosystem make the required effort to develop for it that much higher, since the tools and apps that would have been built weren’t.
Higher development costs slow down feature pacing, due to the increased effort needed to substitute the efforts of missing ecosystem developers.
Lack of feature cadence drives users to other platforms, shrinking the user base, bringing us back to step 1.
As “three dead trolls in a baggie” famously sung… “Every OS Sucks”.
As true today as when it was first penned.
Absolutely, well put!! It’s honestly sad in my eyes
I’ve given up especially when it comes to Linux vs Mac on the topic of open source. People will have such a violent reaction that they cannot possibly consider Apple as anything else but the literal antithesis of open source.
if you think Apple has a place in open source, you’d be right, but you’ll also get attacked for it because Apple bad.
Only a handful of months ago Apple released open source AI models that run on-device.
It’s so obvious over many years that Apple has always gotten their hands dirty in the open source world going back to even before the birth of OSX, both with use and contributions, yet this is stomped out by the notion of expensive and elitist Apple could never and would never actually bother contributing to open source codebases
It used to be the same for Windows until microsoft recall. Putting windows in that category is now an outdated thing.
Everyone I know in tech uses android. People that want capable handheld devices choose android. People that want a basic device that does what the company says and nothing else go Apple. Even I suggest Apple to old people and luddites, it protects itself from them. Oh, and people easily manipulated by social pressures (OMG I need the right colored text bubble!) will deeply overpay for a subpar device.
“The soulless corporate brand is like is better than the one you like.”
I would have shared the hell out of this meme on Facebook when I was ~18 years old.
How does this belong in memes??? thete isn’t a single meme able thing in this image, it’s not funny or interesting either. It’s brain dead fanboy fullshit, as many in the comments have shown.
Lame as fuck
This looks like one of those PC/Console comparison memes from the early days of pcmasterrace. I like it!
Both of these are way too expensive for me.
60 Hz in 2024 is crazy, aside from the fact that iPhones have been the same for the past 6 generations.
60 Hz in 2024 is crazy, aside from the fact that iPhones have been the same for the past 6 generations.
iPhone Pro has been 120Hz for a while now. Also
bigger base level storage andUSB. If you want the fancy specs you get the fancier phone.Just stating we shouldn’t have to pay over $1000 usd to get a 120hz display. This doesn’t justify it when you can buy phones with high refresh rate for $300
So buy the $300 phone! If the iPhone isn’t your cup of tea you don’t have to buy it. You’ll sacrifice some stuff to get the price point that low, but if they’re things you don’t want or need, awesome!
That Xperia 1 iii pictured? $1300 new in 2021.
both 16 and 16 pro have 128 GB base storage
both 16 and 16 pro have 128 GB base storage
I stand corrected.
That said, if you up the price to match the pictured Xperia 1 iii ($1300 when new in 2021), the iPhone Pro (13 in 2021) will have 512GB (256GB for the Pro Max at $1200). Fancy price for a fancy phone.
At the end of the day people should just buy whatever phone fits their needs and their wallets, and let others do the same. Android phones are great. iPhones are great. We’re living in the future and other than the dystopian tendencies, it’s pretty awesome.
What are y’all doing on your phones that 60hz isn’t enough. For the power user I guess but your average user. Makes no difference
I mean usage wise sure you still see the display either way. But high refresh rate is better for your eyes, especially when it’s a quality display with high PWM rate. There is a huge difference between an S24’s display and an iPhone 15’s. I can use the S24 without my eyes getting tired for hours, while my eyes get sore after viewing the iPhone for a while.
My ~230$ android phone has 120hz screen and very similar features. However, I had to turn the refresh rate back to 60 cuz it was chewing through battery. (5kma)
Give me all the hate. But my iPhone has outlasted all of my friends on android. I’m still using the iPhone X.
Now people who upgrade their phones yearly are wild to me.
Depends on the brand. You can’t compare Android and Apple as you’re comparing an OS against a brand. You can however compare Android against iOS, and Sony against Apple.
I use my android phones for many many years.
Well, you have no reason to considering the innovations Apple provides are 3 years behind
Been using my redmi note 9 pro for 5 years now. It’s not even 20 dollars.
My note 9 from like 5 years ago still doing great. But I’m careful with it. I do think apple has sturdier construction.
IPhone is a overpriced shit^^
Lol yeah
But also let people like stuff. Don’t be a snooty ass about it.I can’t overstate how much I love that the Android phone used for example is one that I swapped for a newer phone just a couple of months ago
Xperia 1 iii?
user replaceable battery?
I’m no apple fan, but some of these features don’t really mean much, like the screen refresh rate, data transfer rate, or codec support. Pretty small subset of users are going to care about these, the vast majority of people just browse, play simple games, and maybe run a map or spotify or whatever.
That said, the 16 is built to use Apple’s AI, and that’s pretty much reason enough for me to not want to go anywhere near it. I’ll buy an older model before I support this AI crap.
Android users won’t be able to reply.
Third party launchers randomly freeze for no reason.
Lemmy app crashed due to unknown reasons, but suspected due to battery manager failure.
Notification of your post never showed up anyway due to Android hosing notifications with Doze, which everyone thought Doze was done for, but really it was just buried deeper into the OS.
And then Google decided to A-B test all Lemmy users, so that the Lemmy app opens random songs in YouTube Music instead.
