NFT bros
I would sooner rather buy a bag of actual deluxe dog shit than an NFT.
It can at least have some kind of utility. Like hurling it at NFT bros, for example.
Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.
But they’re fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what’s the problem?
I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don’t want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.
I carry 2 phones because I have a government job, so if any work is done on my phone it becomes subject to Open Records requests. If I have to carry 2 phones I might as well have both operating systems.
So my personal phone is Android and my work phone is an iPhone.
I don’t understand how people prefer iPhones. The hardware is nice, but the OS is horrible. They came up with some neat stuff in 2008, but it feels like they haven’t improved much since then. Even informing the greater flexibility of Android - it’s just easier to use. Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.

What on earth are you talking about? I’m not going to claim Apple invented it (because they likely stole it from another os like android) but they’ve had the single swipe down control panel on iOS to turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, etc for like a decade+. I have Apple devices, and trust me, there’s plenty to shit on without making stuff up.
What he’s talking about is probably that turning off WiFi via quick settings or whatever it’s called doesn’t actually turn off WiFi, you still have to proceed all the way to the settings app.
I owned and used a iPhone xs for a number of years. I can assure you that pressing the little WiFi icon in the control centre does the same thing as my Samsung galaxy s21 5g and various other android devices previous to the iPhone xs does and if all fails then you can always turn on airplane mode
That may be true, I used to be an iPhone Xs user before my Pixel 7, and it used to drive me crazy seeing blue WiFi icon turning white, as opposed to turning the module off completely in the settings, when the icon becomes transparent.
It is nitpicking though, for sure. I have tons of other, more significant complaints about iOS, I was just clarifying what it may have been that the other person was complaining about.
Edit: Moreover, until you deliberately tell your phone to NOT automatically turn on WiFi after an hour or two, it will decide for itself that the time has come and it can drain your battery now.
The problem is that they only disconnect. They don’t actually turn off. You have to go into the settings for that.
When you toggle the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth buttons in Control Center, your device immediately disconnects from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth accessories. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth will continue to be available
Turning off WiFi is as easy as gesturing to the control centre then clicking the WiFi button it’s as easy as android devices where you swipe down from where the notch is and click on the WiFi button
Except when I swipe down and it opens the notification window or Siri shortcuts or just a blank screen with a clock on it.
It’s not consistent.
I used an iPhone xs for about a year and a half before clumsily dropping my phone and it sadly coming to its demise and I’ve never had this happen to me. Prehaps I’m lucky. Although knowing lemmy someone probably just made this shit up
Nailed it. My thoughts exactly
I think the problems include the fact that an actual apple computer starts at 1000 and going higher than 8GB of RAM and 256G of storage costs you another 1000 because hardware isn’t really modular and storage and ram are a huge tool of market segmentation.
Meanwhile a traditional desktop starts at $7000.
It’s like they have lifted everything but the absolutely cheapest market segments out of reach of virtually any normal folks.
going higher than 8GB of RAM and 256G of storage costs you another 1000
These are the things i look at when reviewers talk about apple “taking gaming serious now” and im just like what.
As someone who does animation, apple has been terrible for work. Because they take forever to render CGI, compared to my personal gaming computer. Same thing with simple video editing. Having a powerful GPU is pretty nice for work. And because apple is overpriced. I’ve found gaming rigs that are cheaper and do a better job, on top of being more intuitive. Seriously I can’t do anything without the windows search bar. It’s really nice being able to just type in the settings I want to change. And have the OS take me directly there.
Apple has that break the lense on a camera and your phone starts to brick it’s self as it thinks it’s been repaired by someone who’s not apple
Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.
Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.
Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.
Idk every apple product I’ve touched always felt pretty thin and flimsy. Don’t even get me started on Mac mice. They’re so cheaply made you don’t get a second mouse button. The Mac books are so fragile you can break them by looking at them wrong. The only time I’ve ever seen a iPhone that doesn’t have a crack in the screen is when they are brand new. Maybe I’m a bit of a farmer for considering rigidity the definition of high quality, but god how do one button mice feel good.
I fucking hope it is good quality for that price.
High quality until you drop it once and the entire screen shatters. High quality until your lightning cable breaks. High quality until planned obsolescence renders it unusable. Nah Apple products are pure ass lmao, literally no reason to ever buy one unless it’s got some exclusive artsy software you really like (and even then there’s prob something just as good for windows or Linux). As far as bang for your buck goes I can’t think of a worse choice than Apple in any given field
I tried Android with the S10 for a little over a year. It felt too clunky and everything I wanted to customize would have required jailbreaking, which feels too much like work for me. I went back to iPhone after that.

Wow it’s true. Linux users are like vegans. You never have to wonder because they’ll tell you they are whether you care or not
I mean, you’re on Lemmy, where a great number of Linux users gather.
Where a great number of
thoselinux users gather
I use to main Linux. Mint once prehaps will again once I upgrade my shitty graphics card to something which supports ubuntu based distros better. I tend to agree with you on this point although there are plenty of decent people whom use linux. People whom are always happy to give out a helping hand or are welcoming.
You’re comparing a hardware and software company to open source software.
Really weird comparison
You should be comparing OSX to Linux
Galaxy Brain: triple boot hackintosh.
Best of all worlds
If I was a real sadist, I’d try to get TempleOS and AmigaOS running. I don’t go to LAN parties anymore, so I wouldn’t get to scare the normies with that.
I see a fellow cultured gentlemen templeos for the win screw pcmr when you got templeos and gods chosen games
Are you all 12? Why do people care what technology someone else prefers to use?
Because it has a deep impact on the broad society, and some of us do care about preserving at least current level of freedom?..
What the fuck are you even talking about? You’re not some freedom fighter out in Fallujah. You’re in an online circle jerk about which shiny toy is better. Get a grip.
Fuck you & blocked you, moron
SOCITRY GUYZ SO TRUE BESTIE
Your choice of operating system. does not have a deep impact on society. It doesn’t impact society at all
Because Apple never influenced society and other businesses?
cough cough headphone jack cough cough removing charger cough cough
Ah yes I get you now…
So removing the iPhone changing lead from the box and or manufactures removing the headphone jack from there smartphones has changed the course of western and eastern societys ah now I get you now you sure you didn’t fail down some stairs and hit your head

“Apple users” is a bit harsh, the fans can definitely get this culty but it’s not like the functional-but-overpriced hardware is literal shit. Someone else said NFT “investors”, I’d go for fashion people who spend hundreds on a sweatshop-produced t-shirt which just has the logo of the company that’s ripping them off on it (which to be fair does describe some people’s relationship with Apple!)
True. Nfts fit this better.
Every whale in a P2W game.
I wish people didn’t care what technology other people choose to buy.
that’s one of the arguments I saw in favour of sync
Any company that lets me take control of my hardware and software is welcome to me
Yeah not Apple. They limit you to their ecosystem while Android lets you do literally whatever the fuck you want. Don’t want to pay for an app in the app store? Then don’t. Don’t want to use the default home screen environment? Then change it. I could go on but I mean it’s pretty obvious at this point.
Yep. I’ve been an Android girl since the beginning. The only Apple product I ever had was a free iPad my husband’s job gave us because they were pushing Apple products on everyone because that’s how they spy on everyone. Oh but Android spies on us too but at least we have all the benefits you mentioned above.
And technically there are ways (using some of the above mentioned stuff) to turn off those kinds of security and spyware stuff while Apple is known for buttons that say things like “stop tracking data” or similar that do literally nothing.

I assumed this was about Twitter blue checks, I think I prefer that interpretation.
It can be about most premium services nowadays thanks to enshittification.
People who smoke.
This is one of the shitposts of all time.
It’s a literal shit post
Exclusive too
No, you have to pay extra for that
Ah shit here we go again…
Tell me how you really feel
The “omg I haet Apple guys” cult is much stronger than the supposed “wow I love Apple” cult.
Maybe here specifically. But there are a lot of real people (mostly young women and teenagers but not exclusively) that would never consider coming to Lemmy or even reddit when that was a thing, who refuse to get close to anyone that doesn’t have the “blue” text
Meanwhile on Reddit /r/apple regularly makes frontpage and /r/technology /r/gadgets only make frontpage if it’s related to apple. And windows and Microsoft news is barely ever relevant
Makes sense as iPhones beat Android in market share in the US, and there is only one manufacturer compared to half a dozen for Android phones. I just think the “omg apple worshipping fanboy” thing is a bit outdated. Most people don’t care that much.
You sound like a poor piece of shit /sarcasm
