to me, a cell phone is a cell phone now, they all do the same shit. why would i pay 5x for an apple branded thing that only works with other apple branded bullshit. scam artists

 

[John McHenry]

It is sad that Samsung seems to be headed that way too

 

[John McHenry]

My buddy used to work for ATT if it was anyone over 50 that didn't know how to use a cellphone they got an apple

 

[Big Jean Studd]

Apple has just done an amazing jobn at convincing people that their shit never stinks and you have to buy one to be cool.

 

[Wiseman]

lmao

 

[Chris]

The general formula seems to be Samsung adds a new feature and if Apple doesn't steal it in a couple years they just remove it, if Apple steals it they become standard for both phones

 

[Butters]

they are easier to use and are harder to fuck up.

 

[Big Jean Studd]

brilliant marketing but imo, they havent done anything innovative in a decade

 

[Big Jean Studd]

they are easier to use and are harder to fuck up.

are they tho? everytime I pick up an apple product i have to relearn everything about how that device works normally under any other brand

 

[Wiseman]

They hvaen't, but I don't think any of the cell companies have done anything earth shattering in the last, at least 5 years.

 

[Big Jean Studd]

buttons are different, their keyboards are different

 

[Big Jean Studd]

shit is so anyoying

 

[John McHenry]

Pixels are really good. OnePlus. Currently S23 Ultra. But my favorite was my Motorola Mod that had all the add on attachments

 

[Butters]

kayfabe moment here, i work at a cell phone store and old people come in EVERY.SINGLE.DAY. with apps on their phone that fuck it up

 

[Big Jean Studd]

the only thing Apple I will say was good at is security
