If you use Apple products for personal use: you sound like a masochist.
If you are forced to use them professionally: I'm sorry for you.
- sneak 6y agoNeither is true. Android in the stock configuration is much the same, and the hardware is worse.
- pietrovismara 6y agoTo the point you feel forced to use your Android phone without SIM? I bought my android phone for less than 150€ and it does what I need (phone calls, navigation). For everything else I use a debian based distro on my laptop (in some rare case, I dual boot windows). I really have no issues and I spent way way less than any Apple fan ever will to do basically the same thing. Let's be honest, most people are willing to pay hefty prices for Apple's products just because of the social status they provide.
- vinay427 6y agoThe displays on iOS devices already ruin the experience for me nowadays. The perceivable smoothness from a 90-120Hz display still surprises me but now I can't really go back to an older display for daily use. Flagship Android devices also have far more hardware features in general (faster charging, more interfacing options, more cutting-edge "gimmicks," etc.). To be honest, I don't mind iOS, but I'm not really sure what iPhone hardware you think is better or even on par at a comparable price point.
