This is why I sold my APPL stock a few weeks back. The experience on iPhone is shit. The web is broken on Safari. They broke PWAs. The vision pro is not a big hit. The notification system on MacOS is a poor experience as it gets in my way all the time. Apple want to extort devs to build apps. The arm macbook chips are amazing but that's old news now. Too much abuse of their customers and not much innovation. It has since slid 10% and I'm not surprised.
- tatrajim 3y ago> The vision pro is not a big hit. You have verified sales statistics? Why are users around the world clamoring for vision pros in their countries? Why are Chinese entrepreneurs renting out vision pros by the hour? My wife and I marvel at the vision pro experience. https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-vision-pro-china-rentals-report-2024-2#:~:text=Chinese%20denizens%20can%20rent%20the,their%20hands%20on%20the%20headset https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-vision-pro-china-renta....
- ectospheno 3y agoI love my iphone more than any other tech device I own. Can you elaborate on "The experience on iPhone is shit"? Seems like hyperbole to me.
- bogdan 3y agoFish don't know they're in water until they're out of it. See Android.
- Epskampie 3y agoI switched a few years ago. The realistic non-hyperbole take is that iOS and Android are really, really similar. Only real difference is Firefox, is that turns out nicely on iOS I might try the other side again.

- ectospheno 3y agoI was on Android for years before I switched to iOS. Did the switch largely due to Apple providing updates for longer than the Android devices I owned. Stayed because I found I preferred iOS.
- brikym 3y agoThere are a bunch of little things that would just work on my Android but do not work on iPhone. I already mentioned the web - every browser is just a safari skin. So I can't use my favourite firefox plugins. The YouTube app is not as polished. It won't connect to by cars bluetooth every time and the bluetooth menu takes a lot more taps to access. Siri is really bad it'll often misfire or do the wrong thing. The camera has a shutter sound which is impossible to disable unless I use live photos which take up more space. The android back button is genius. A stack of views that you pop with a button that is always in the same easy to reach spot. With iPhone sometimes the back link is top left, sometimes top right so I cannot use my muscle memory for navigation.
- paulddraper 3y agoWhile I wouldn't describe it as "shit"... Android Camera > iOS Camera Google Photos > iCloud Photos Finger ID > Face ID My gripe with Android is that no one offers the quality and form factor of the iPhone SE. (Though to be fair, even Apple no longer offers the quality and form factor of the iPhone SE...)
- tatrajim 3y agoAndroid Camera > iOS Camera Are spatial videos available on android cameras, out of the box?
- ed_mercer 3y agoMacbooks are years ahead of the competition though. I doubt you can name one laptop that comes even close in terms of build quality, performance and battery life. There’s just no alternative.
- brikym 3y agoI totally agree but I think this is already priced into the stock.
