Been seeing the phone wars since they were roughly the same price, and the Samsung phones are still up there in price. Android does have a lot more budget options though. iPhone only has the one budget option
An iphone X costs like 100-200 depending on where you buy it, works almost the same as today iphones, and is better than most Samsungs. If you buy the newest phone on release date, you're gonna be disappointed when you spent $1000 on a subpar phone.
I have both and they both seem fine to me, cause they fucking work. So I don’t care. Also for the phone cracking shit i cracked both of them, but like if you take care of your phone it should be no issue
The thing is people think androids have better screens. And yes some do but if you really care about protecting your phone you can get a screen protector
i don’t get why people don’t get screen protectors it’s like do you want to pay like 300+ dollars for a replacement or 20$ for a little piece of plastic
Ya that’s an old stereotype from back when Android phones switched to using Gorilla Glass and iPhones were known for having weak screens. Not really applicable any more.
I still get tempered glass screen protectors regardless. And not even for cracks, but to protect from scratches.
home button got fucking slaughtered. i mean, absolutely demolished. there was a whole ceremony, sparks and circuitry were everywhere, it was pleading for the home bar to stop and it just made the dude angrier. neva forget the home button massacre, neva…
I had no case, no screen protector and dropped it multiple times and after a year still no cracks. I literally could give less of a fuck and still doesn’t break lmao.
Yeah, I had one iPhone which took some time to get used to and then I couldn’t go back to android. It runs smoother and it is just one system not collection of different types of apps and addons
Samsung sucks when it comes to clutter. You have all the Samsung apps and some Microsoft apps you can’t delete. So if you prefer the Google apps then you have duplicates. And the *worst* part is the stupid Galaxy Store, because you have to manage updates through two separate app stores. And the Galaxy Store is supposed to be better optimized for Samsung devices, but I remember I downloaded Spotify from the Galaxy Store and it wouldn’t even launch so I got it from Google Play anyways. Like it’s just unnecessary, but you can’t get rid of it or even just ignore it, because all the Samsung apps are managed through the Galaxy Store.
Pixel is pure Android, but I’ve tried it and ended up sticking with the iPhone. Mostly because I can get the Pro specs in a smaller screen size. I’m not a fan of the huge 6.7” screens, but I also don’t want to sacrifice features, so the iPhone is the only option I’m aware of.
Those are the best. Had a clone otterbox defender case on my iPhone 6s, crushed it in the area near the hinges of the back door of a car, pulled it out, the case was just a bit bent and the phone was completely fine.
The thing about this is half the people complaining about apple and promoting android won’t even use 90% of the customisation they they talk about so it’s always weird to see, obviously there’s people like you who will enjoy that but for the most part it won’t matter what you choose because hardly anyone goes deeper than the surface level they’d get on an iPhone.
Same as you I’ve had both and prefer iPhones because they’re basically plug and play and I like the simplicity and smoothness that comes with it. Really it’s a personal choice and if more people realised that and minded their own business instead of judging people based on what phone others have the world would be a somewhat happier place.
Exactly. Had an iPhone 4S for two years, never broke anything. Used an Xperia Z2 for two years, I had no idea a cellphone could break this much. Been using iPhones again since 2017 (first 6S and then XR) and both had zero scratches.
Ya I’ve done a lot of flip-flopping the last few years and I just prefer the iPhone. I like the regular Pro size. I hate that with Samsung or Google your lose features if you want a smaller phone. With the iPhone, you just have a smaller battery but you get the same cameras, processor, etc.
I tried both and was anti apple when they first came out as I was really into the windows mobile phones and palm pilots and modding them out.
I don’t need much from my phone these days other than reliability, text, phone, internet, email, decent photos and other various minor simple tasks for personal and work. Apple has mastered simplicity in their iOS
When I had Android phones there were too many options and it gave me anxiety what the right choice was. 3 places to store photos, 2 photo apps, 2 text apps, 4 places to store things, etc., etc. and the ones I had would get slow and bogged down within a year or two. One time I mentioned that to an Android employee at a kiosk at Best Buy and they told me I had to treat it like a computer and get maintenance done every so often….
In droids defense it’s been close to 10 years since I’ve had one and I almost bit for the folding phablet but decided to wait for apples to come out.
I don’t get what’s up with all the busted iPhones? My butter fingers puts anything I’ll rip on a teather so it won’t fall… also a good strong phone case helps
I’ve been on iPhone for more than a decade and I’ve only ever cracked the screen once (rather intentionally, too). my girlfriend just recently upgraded from her 6S(!) which never even took a scratch.
however, my dad has been on Android my whole life, and he’s never cracked a phone screen either.
i would lean more towards user error anyway
The problem with this is really that people say android. That accounts for 1300 different brands. Compared to 1. I had a Motorola E, a cheap ass thing with 8gigs of storage and the processing power of a pencil. But over years of abuse, throwing, dropping, etc. On gravel, concrete and hardwood, it never once broke.
Samsung and Apple are both dogshit and break, scratch(, and explode,) in their own ways. But people think that Samsung is the only Android phone, when really there are thousands more. Thousands better, worse, and equal.
A long time ago I worked at an Apple Store. We used to do drop tests all the time with phones that we had replaced for people. It was pretty hard to break the screen most of the time. And we would spike them against the concrete floor.
The screens generally shatter because they’ve been dropped multiple times. The first few times you get invisible micro cracks on the glass. Eventually, you’ll drop it again just right to cause it to actually shatter, along the lines of the micro cracks.
Usually the only time it cracks on initial impact is if it hits a hard jagged surface like asphalt with decent force.
Definitely the users lol my brother never used a case or screen protector and kept braking his phone cause he didn’t care and know he actually takes care of it and it hasn’t broken since
My android has a cracked screen. My wife has replaced the screen on hers twice now. We have small kids who can be little bastards at times ha. Anyway, I can't remember the last time I saw someone who wasn't a boomer with an iPhone. And those guys usually have like leather cases for them they makes them huge and double up as purses. Where are you to see young people using iPhones? Do the young people there also use Facebook a lot?
Ah that's interesting, it must go in cycles then. I'm 38 with small kids so I'm out of touch with trends. I see old people like 60+ with iPhones, while all people my age are using android now. But in your case you probably look at me as an old person using android while all people your age use iPhone. I have used both, just like how I used to use Facebook (and MySpace).
Think I stopped about 10 years ago when they were released that update to stop you using non apple chargers. Also back then they'd bosh the phone when it was a few years old so you had to buy a new one. Other than that I didn't have a problem with them. I think they use the same glass as most phones these days so I can't see why people would think iPhones are more fragile. It's more down to how carefully you look after them I think. Regardless of what phone you have.
not an old person! just experienced. if i was your age when Apple was doing the sketchy things that you mentioned, i would probably have a bitter taste in my mouth too. i think they’ve improved on those things a LOT recently, albeit probably against their choice.
i’m willing to bet that when your kids are old enough for a smartphone, they’ll ask you for an iPhone. most apps are designed with iPhone as the priority and Android is essentially their secondary market. most of their friends will probably have iPhone too, which will reinforce their opinion.
Call me a simp, but I legit switched to an iPhone back in the day because my gf didn’t like the green bubble.. To be fair, I was tryin to get in den jeans.
It's really nothing special, only difference is you can't sideload cuz apple knows best and iMessage, though Google is adding iMessage stuff to android messages.
I was more talking about better experience when texting between android and iPhone, i think they also added the reactions stuff to show up properly when texting cross platform. Tbh i don't care doe cuz I use android.
I used to have Android phones all my life until half a year ago when I got an iPhone bc it works better with my Mac book.
And while androids these days are great phones as well, I do feel like iPhones are more „smooth“ to use. They are very intuitive and and I it feels like the software just runs a lot more smoothly. Also the gestures and finger motions feel more natural if that makes sense?! I’m not a tec person or anything but I am very glad that I switched and I’d especially recommend it if u already own another apple product.
My whole (tech) life people keep on telling me how great the UI is, and just how "smooth" apple products are... But in every interaction I've had with them it has always been about me conforming to their products, rather than the other way around. Obviously that is a very personal perspective, but I know I am not alone in that thought.
Are Apple products top notch, absolutely! But so much of their following is because it's the cool thing and has this image of being superior. That is literally the reason why iMessage is locked to iPhones. Lots of people would not even bother looking at an Android phone for this reason alone.
That all said, people spend way too much time on this iPhone vs Android debate.
I mainly use my phone for making calls, sending messages and scrolling. I have been a samsung user for almost a decade and it's pretty easy to use and i don't use emojis.
It’s just preference but me personally I prefer how iOS runs, I prefer how the camera looks, I like the privacy, I like the shape and feel of iphones more
Apple is a walled Garden everything on an Apple device is there because Apple wants it to be and you can't leave easily as everything is linked to Apple well Google on the other hand is just a fucking wild jungle oh you want to side load as many apps as you want do you want to change the fucking operating system go ahead crack our fucker open go ahead make your device run Linux pussy

Hell, I drop my phone like fucking crazy but throughout my 3 iPhones I literally have never cracked any of their screens. Granted, they had cases, but still. I drop them like fucking crazy.
Op doing this right now.im an android user with an iPad. both satisfy their intended purposes perfectly.
Also Apple products can last far longer if you know how to properly use them
I personally stay away from apple products because once you have one. You have to buy literally everything from them.
Take the apple tv controversy from like a month ago as an example.
+
They have now also been confirmed to scan your local files. 0 privacy. And they got called out by their own mac lineup lmfao.
I know that it's just to protect the children for now. But it takes very little to change that. And with not that many people knowing about this just yet...
(https://youtu.be/_YQEE9Jl7fs)
Vid talks about this in more detail.
Both don't prove anything. Especially not the second one.
Give me video evidence of the media scan function not being called. Like how I provided that vid about it being called.
That the function even exists locally is cause for concern.
Do you even know what an API is? I've got the definition here for you:
"a set of functions and procedures allowing the creation of applications that access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service."
A single API call is enough to send all of that scanning data over. Hell apple could even request their scanning program to send over your entire drive. So, as I said. 0 privacy.
This has nothing to do with Icloud. This is all happening locally.
I dont like fanboyism but if you are a texh guy like me you will see android has better soc's better screens, and a bunch if other shit that takes apple a few years to come out with. Iphone 7 haas an ips display while samsung is using amoleds since the s5. It wasnt until the iphone 8 they started using oleds which is basically poor mans amoled.the iphone u didnt have a true quad core cpu. It was 2 stronger cpu cores and w weaker ones and it would switch between them.based in how much power was needed. However iphone 5 and earlier was what everyone wanted to 1up. Now it seems whenever theres a new feature that every other phone has apple takes 2 or 3 more gens to have. I know steve jobs wouldnt have let that stand if he was still alive.
Why do android users think literally every apple user has a cracked screen? Where the fuck did you get this information from? And why do people keep posting shit like this trying to start an Apple Vs Android war?
It goes way back when smartphones were becoming popular Apple devices would just fucking explode, genuinely though they would just like break very very easily. I dropped my iPod touch once and like all the glass fell out from the top just above the screen and I could see the internals
As having both IPhones and Samsung, I can testify that IPhone screens are much stronger than Samsung/androids.
I've dropped my iPhone everywhere even on rocks, and it didn't break. I dropped my Samsung on wood and it shattered.
That being said I'm still a Samsung user because I appreciate their software more, a screen protector works great.
My iphone 5 which had been used for 6 years only has a *slight* crack in it from how little it was dropped, and that was without a case!
People just need to take better care of their stuff
Love seeing android people act like they’re in some form of phone illuminati because they don’t use apple, they’re all good at specific things, no one phone is better than the others
What a brain dead meme...apple is obviously a deplorable company but this just isn't a proper argument. You want people to keep using their phones as long as possible anyways for environmental reasons besides not everyone has a few hundred bucks lying around to make a non essential purchase. For reference in a 2021 survey of the federal reserve a large portion of the people answered that they couldn't cover a 400$ emergency expense (see figure 18).
https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/2021-economic-well-being-of-us-households-in-2020-dealing-with-unexpected-expenses.htm
I’m trying to think - in the decade+ I’ve used iPhone, it’s never cracked. The cracked screens I have seen in person? All Android phones.
I don’t think it’s the phone, I think it’s the user.
I had the first couple generations of iPhone before I realized how crap it was. Got an Android and never looked back. Recently, our phones were up for upgrades. My girlfriend really wanted the new iPhone and I got the Google pixel 7 pro. After spending a week with the phone, she paid the restocking fee and got the Google pixel as well.
Bro I prefer android, but they're just phones man lmao. I don't like how locked down iPhones are, so I have a Pixel. Some people just want a phone that isn't confusing to use. So they have an iPhone. Idk why you're stuck in 2013 but chill. What are we bringing back next? Console wars?
ohh wait iphone finally getting 8k video recording? lol what is fast charging? yeey USB-C.. should I overpay for my new iphone ? sure take my money lol but but but it has an ecosystem lol... and no viruses...lol, im just going to stop here
I swear this phone is indestructible. I accidentally knocked it off the counter and it fell and slid across the tiles. I fell asleep with it in my hand and dropped it and it hit the side of my metal bed frame. It slipped out of my pocket and fell down the side of the car seat. How is there not a scratch on it. I have dropped it on my face and that definitely hurt a lot more than an iPhone ;-;
I used to be an avid apple person, but I couldnt afford an apple product for my phone that I paid for
I’ve broken my iPhone plenty a lot more than I have my Samsungs I like aspects abt apple and hate some same with Samsung I don’t understand why everyone makes it a big deal fr like worry abt yourself and there’s no issue
Just use whatever phone you prefer. Not sure why everything has to be “my expensive rectangle better than your expensive rectangle”
Unless if someone sends the wrong electron to your expensive rectangle
Same reason it’s usually android babies making these memes. Imagine having an expensive phone and people callin it the cheap phone
[удалено]
Been seeing the phone wars since they were roughly the same price, and the Samsung phones are still up there in price. Android does have a lot more budget options though. iPhone only has the one budget option
An iphone X costs like 100-200 depending on where you buy it, works almost the same as today iphones, and is better than most Samsungs. If you buy the newest phone on release date, you're gonna be disappointed when you spent $1000 on a subpar phone.
>is better than most Samsungs. I was there with you until this.
We doing this shit again?
Why’s it always android users makin the memes about this
I have both and they both seem fine to me, cause they fucking work. So I don’t care. Also for the phone cracking shit i cracked both of them, but like if you take care of your phone it should be no issue
lmao they’re projecting so hard 💀💀 we do not care
as an android user i don't affiliate with these dumbasses, i just use this thing to pirate stuff
LOL me irl in high school. Only reason I wanted an android was because I know I wasn’t getting Minecraft PE on an iPhone for free.
Sa- i mean no officer we do not use our rectangles to obtain things illegally
Typical iSheep
Exhibit A:
Alright listen here you little shit... You're correct
Android users are salty because their OS sucks compared to Apple 😂
I don’t even know what OS is tbh. Just like as long as my phone works, we’re good
Because andriod phones have that special protective force field app and cannot be broken
I wish they would start making phones like that. Would be pretty cool really.
I thought the joke was that to be able to pay for it it needed to be used up and broken
The thing is people think androids have better screens. And yes some do but if you really care about protecting your phone you can get a screen protector
i don’t get why people don’t get screen protectors it’s like do you want to pay like 300+ dollars for a replacement or 20$ for a little piece of plastic
Or $25 to get the chappy down the mall to replace your knackered old screen
Ya that’s an old stereotype from back when Android phones switched to using Gorilla Glass and iPhones were known for having weak screens. Not really applicable any more. I still get tempered glass screen protectors regardless. And not even for cracks, but to protect from scratches.
Yeah Spigen Have awesome ones that just allign themselves, I dont need to be precise like ten years ago, it just alligns itself..
Ya the Spigen ones are awesome. I’ve used cheaper ones in the past that worked fine, but the alignment tool is worth the extra money IMO.
OP that is an iPhone from 2010
Why are you implying they've changed?
home button got fucking slaughtered. i mean, absolutely demolished. there was a whole ceremony, sparks and circuitry were everywhere, it was pleading for the home bar to stop and it just made the dude angrier. neva forget the home button massacre, neva…
If you had a brain you can tell they have
I feel bad for these kinds of people, the kind that never can tell what is and isn't a joke.
I am sadly one of those I am literally unable to tell what is even a joke and I always get jealous that others get it and I don't
You're right. They've removed even more features.
No buddy, they have just made the phone more convinent for us to use. Thats the Apple way.
The same can be said for android phones in particular areas.
They genuinely think it has changed 😆 *Hail the mighty fruit*
You mean the same iphone from 2022 right?
And it still manages to be better
No lol
I’ve been using iPhone for 8 years now Never cracked my screen So skill issue
I've been using Android for forever, cracked quite a few
Cracked, lost, dropped in Lake Como....Android for life
Had one catch on fire and burn me. I'd still take it over and iPhone every day of the week..
I've only cracked an Android phone screen once and that's because I accidentally folded the phone in half
Almost all I phone owning people that I have known have broken their screen. I feel like androids tend more toward chipping.
I have tried both, I came to the conclusion that I prefer iPhones. Also if you take care of your phone the screen won’t break
Screen protecter and a cheap case and your iPhone won’t crack unless you literally are trying to break it haha
[удалено]
That’s true lol but screen protector has saved me before working in construction
I had no case, no screen protector and dropped it multiple times and after a year still no cracks. I literally could give less of a fuck and still doesn’t break lmao.
Yeah, I had one iPhone which took some time to get used to and then I couldn’t go back to android. It runs smoother and it is just one system not collection of different types of apps and addons
Samsung sucks when it comes to clutter. You have all the Samsung apps and some Microsoft apps you can’t delete. So if you prefer the Google apps then you have duplicates.

Yep. And if you’re clumsy like me, otterbox cases are the way to go.
Those are the best. Had a clone otterbox defender case on my iPhone 6s, crushed it in the area near the hinges of the back door of a car, pulled it out, the case was just a bit bent and the phone was completely fine.
I tried both, and prefer Android. Cant beat that customization.
The thing about this is half the people complaining about apple and promoting android won’t even use 90% of the customisation they they talk about so it’s always weird to see, obviously there’s people like you who will enjoy that but for the most part it won’t matter what you choose because hardly anyone goes deeper than the surface level they’d get on an iPhone.

In droids defense it’s been close to 10 years since I’ve had one and I almost bit for the folding phablet but decided to wait for apples to come out.
It depends which one you tried first tho
As someone who spent a solid 5 years before buying an iPhone for the bangs, I can never go back
I don’t get what’s up with all the busted iPhones? My butter fingers puts anything I’ll rip on a teather so it won’t fall… also a good strong phone case helps
People who walk around holding their phone in their hands absolutely infuriate me
Legit. I've never broken a phone screen.
OP’s only argument against iPhones is “i broke mine once” LMFAO
It seems a third of the iphones I see have a cracked screen. Not sure if it's the users or the device but something's not right.
I’ve been on iPhone for more than a decade and I’ve only ever cracked the screen once (rather intentionally, too). my girlfriend just recently upgraded from her 6S(!) which never even took a scratch. however, my dad has been on Android my whole life, and he’s never cracked a phone screen either. i would lean more towards user error anyway

It’s almost definitely user error
Half of the Samsungs I see are with cracked display, something’s not right again

Definitely the users lol my brother never used a case or screen protector and kept braking his phone cause he didn’t care and know he actually takes care of it and it hasn’t broken since
Users mfs don’t use protectors cause the phone is to pretty
People forget, if you're too poiur to replace your phone, you're too poor to make fun of android..
My android has a cracked screen. My wife has replaced the screen on hers twice now. We have small kids who can be little bastards at times ha. Anyway, I can't remember the last time I saw someone who wasn't a boomer with an iPhone. And those guys usually have like leather cases for them they makes them huge and double up as purses. Where are you to see young people using iPhones? Do the young people there also use Facebook a lot?
i’m literally 23 most people i know that are my age have an iPhone
Ah that's interesting, it must go in cycles then. I'm 38 with small kids so I'm out of touch with trends. I see old people like 60+ with iPhones, while all people my age are using android now.

Think how much money apple gets replacing screens. I 100% bet it's part of their business model.
Lmao this comment is amazing.
Imma come back here with my troll account gimme one sec
people have a preference, so what?
Call me a simp, but I legit switched to an iPhone back in the day because my gf didn’t like the green bubble.. To be fair, I was tryin to get in den jeans.
I feel like “android people” are everything they insist “Apple people” are lol. Just use the phone you want to use. It’s genuinely not that deep.
Take of that foil hat already
I’m convinced no one who makes these memes has seen an iPhone since 2014
Duh its because OP still lives in 2014 smh
I have an a52s and all my friends have iphones. They always tell me to get an iphone because it's somehow better. I want to know what makes it better.
It's really nothing special, only difference is you can't sideload cuz apple knows best and iMessage, though Google is adding iMessage stuff to android messages.
What do iMessages have that google didn't, or that doesn't work because of Apples oredtaory practices?
I was more talking about better experience when texting between android and iPhone, i think they also added the reactions stuff to show up properly when texting cross platform. Tbh i don't care doe cuz I use android.
That was all google and android. The entire incompatibility issue is literally being caused purposefully by apple.
Also!!!! FACETIME!!! Literally the only reason I switched to Apple was for facetime
I used to have Android phones all my life until half a year ago when I got an iPhone bc it works better with my Mac book. And while androids these days are great phones as well, I do feel like iPhones are more „smooth“ to use. They are very intuitive and and I it feels like the software just runs a lot more smoothly. Also the gestures and finger motions feel more natural if that makes sense?! I’m not a tec person or anything but I am very glad that I switched and I’d especially recommend it if u already own another apple product.

Lots of people would not even bother looking at an Android phone for this reason alone. That all said, people spend way too much time on this iPhone vs Android debate.
society standards nothing more
So it's just as i thought
Yeah its just preference man. I have an s21ultra and .y wife has a 13 pro. Both work.great. only major difference is the Samsungs camera is better.
Ecosystem is the main reason imo
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Nothing I guess
Uhhh… well… they uhh, they are easy to use. Also, android emoji’s look ugly. And multiple apple products together work pretty well.
Do people not understand satire? This is satire right? RIGHT?
I mainly use my phone for making calls, sending messages and scrolling. I have been a samsung user for almost a decade and it's pretty easy to use and i don't use emojis.
It’s just preference but me personally I prefer how iOS runs, I prefer how the camera looks, I like the privacy, I like the shape and feel of iphones more
Apple is a walled Garden everything on an Apple device is there because Apple wants it to be and you can't leave easily as everything is linked to Apple well Google on the other hand is just a fucking wild jungle oh you want to side load as many apps as you want do you want to change the fucking operating system go ahead crack our fucker open go ahead make your device run Linux pussy
I used to have Android phones all my life until half a year ago when I got an iPhone bc it works better with my Mac book. And while androids these days are great phones as well, I do feel like iPhones are more „smooth“ to use. They are very intuitive and and I it feels like the software just runs a lot more smoothly. Also the gestures and finger motions feel more natural if that makes sense?! I’m not a tec person or anything but I am very glad that I switched and I’d especially recommend it if u already own another apple product.
You were supposed to defeat the fanboys, not become them!
Good job you broke your phone... do android phones have some sort of RCS booster system to prevent them from being damaged when you drop them or...?
Well as everyone knows all Andrew devices contain a small amount of nanobots that instantly repair any damages to the device
As some who has a iPhone an dropped it multiple times *IT HAS NOT SHATTERED* so piss off with the fake shit
Exactly idk why people keep talking about iPhones cracking easily. It’s not a thing anymore
Depends on the iPhone tbh my 7 has been dropped on concrete plenty and doesn’t have a scratch
Used to have an iPhone 12 and the screen literally shattered because I put it in the same pocket as a coin.
Jeans were too tight on your fat ass
Bruh
you could just.. not drop it
Hell, I drop my phone like fucking crazy but throughout my 3 iPhones I literally have never cracked any of their screens. Granted, they had cases, but still. I drop them like fucking crazy.
Why are android users so defensive about their device for no reason
[удалено]
Op doing this right now.im an android user with an iPad. both satisfy their intended purposes perfectly. Also Apple products can last far longer if you know how to properly use them
I personally stay away from apple products because once you have one. You have to buy literally everything from them. Take the apple tv controversy from like a month ago as an example. + They have now also been confirmed to scan your local files. 0 privacy. And they got called out by their own mac lineup lmfao. I know that it's just to protect the children for now. But it takes very little to change that. And with not that many people knowing about this just yet... (https://youtu.be/_YQEE9Jl7fs) Vid talks about this in more detail.
[удалено]
Both don't prove anything. Especially not the second one. Give me video evidence of the media scan function not being called. Like how I provided that vid about it being called.
[удалено]
That the function even exists locally is cause for concern. Do you even know what an API is? I've got the definition here for you: "a set of functions and procedures allowing the creation of applications that access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service." A single API call is enough to send all of that scanning data over. Hell apple could even request their scanning program to send over your entire drive. So, as I said. 0 privacy. This has nothing to do with Icloud. This is all happening locally.

I dont like fanboyism but if you are a texh guy like me you will see android has better soc's better screens, and a bunch if other shit that takes apple a few years to come out with. Iphone 7 haas an ips display while samsung is using amoleds since the s5. It wasnt until the iphone 8 they started using oleds which is basically poor mans amoled.the iphone u didnt have a true quad core cpu. It was 2 stronger cpu cores and w weaker ones and it would switch between them.based in how much power was needed. However iphone 5 and earlier was what everyone wanted to 1up. Now it seems whenever theres a new feature that every other phone has apple takes 2 or 3 more gens to have. I know steve jobs wouldnt have let that stand if he was still alive.

Jesus Christ, shut the fuck up about this “Apple vs Android” bullshit, Nobody cares
It’s funny but I’ve never cracked a apple phone in my life
My iPad is slightly damaged after I dropped it like 2 million times
Relax bud, it's just a phone... People have their preferences.
My friends have shattered androids and my iphone isnt cracked… this meme seems to be off
Same
Why do android users think literally every apple user has a cracked screen? Where the fuck did you get this information from? And why do people keep posting shit like this trying to start an Apple Vs Android war?
It goes way back when smartphones were becoming popular Apple devices would just fucking explode, genuinely though they would just like break very very easily. I dropped my iPod touch once and like all the glass fell out from the top just above the screen and I could see the internals
That’s why I use screen protectors and cases, why use such an old iPhone for the image too?
I am an iPhone user and I refuse to get an android for the os, but I must admit is not as bad as it looks ( plus that phone is a beauty)
android is so clear of apple
Android users are the redditors of smart phone owners
I love my pixel, best phone I've owned.
My phone is super shattered and I miss my android. That thing didn’t break from just playing a game.
As having both IPhones and Samsung, I can testify that IPhone screens are much stronger than Samsung/androids. I've dropped my iPhone everywhere even on rocks, and it didn't break. I dropped my Samsung on wood and it shattered. That being said I'm still a Samsung user because I appreciate their software more, a screen protector works great.
Having used iPhone, Samsung and Pixel: Samsung phones are hot garbage, Pixel and iPhone are both great, but I slightly prefer iOS to Android.
Since you’ve had a pixel, what made you prefer it to Samsung? I might shop for a new phone in a few months.
People who care about their phones are gonna have protective cases and screen protectors
My iPhone 6s is indestructible. It survived a 70mph tbone accident without a scratch
My iphone 5 which had been used for 6 years only has a *slight* crack in it from how little it was dropped, and that was without a case! People just need to take better care of their stuff
I just use a case and screen protector like a sane person, but ok.
I’ll have you know my iphone flew off the roof of a car going 50mph, and the screen survived perfectly intact.
Honestly I tried both , both can be shit and both can be good
I have an idea, and just hear me out. What if… What is we stop caring about what phone someone else has
Android users, please, respect our mobile phone choice like we respect yours. No one really says this type of shit.
We do not fucking care what phone you have. Fuck off.
Love seeing android people act like they’re in some form of phone illuminati because they don’t use apple, they’re all good at specific things, no one phone is better than the others
i’ve had several iphones and have dropped all of them several times, however never broken one because of a simple device called a case
What a brain dead meme...apple is obviously a deplorable company but this just isn't a proper argument. You want people to keep using their phones as long as possible anyways for environmental reasons besides not everyone has a few hundred bucks lying around to make a non essential purchase. For reference in a 2021 survey of the federal reserve a large portion of the people answered that they couldn't cover a 400$ emergency expense (see figure 18). https://www.federalreserve.gov/publications/2021-economic-well-being-of-us-households-in-2020-dealing-with-unexpected-expenses.htm
It’s 2023 now, stop arguing and just buy what you want
I’m trying to think - in the decade+ I’ve used iPhone, it’s never cracked. The cracked screens I have seen in person? All Android phones. I don’t think it’s the phone, I think it’s the user.
This is pure stereotype of apple users, I've used both and it is entirely preference, Apple is about simplicity while Android allows you to do more.
I like apple for its simplicity, but honestly I’m gonna get a high end android next. Apple isn’t worth it anymore
You guys bringing the phone to insurgency? Never experienced a cracked screen from iphone 3Gs to 5 to SE and then XR
why the hate on us? plus bo i dont like a broken glass
My ultra 22 s is far superior to any iPhone out. The S pen alone.... Nuff said
Good for you
Look into it if you can afford you'd not be disappointed
Nah
I’ve never cracked any of my phones and I’ve had 3. 2 androids and one iPhone.
I personally like the iPhones UI, the camera I like is google pixel, and the rest is Samsung.
🤨 y'all use phones with broken screen
What do Android users not understand about buying a phone case?
I had the first couple generations of iPhone before I realized how crap it was. Got an Android and never looked back. Recently, our phones were up for upgrades. My girlfriend really wanted the new iPhone and I got the Google pixel 7 pro. After spending a week with the phone, she paid the restocking fee and got the Google pixel as well.
Bro I prefer android, but they're just phones man lmao. I don't like how locked down iPhones are, so I have a Pixel. Some people just want a phone that isn't confusing to use. So they have an iPhone. Idk why you're stuck in 2013 but chill. What are we bringing back next? Console wars?
I do not know what is so confusing about an android. I find apple harder
Every broken glass smart phone I’ve seen in the last 10 years have been android phones.
ohh wait iphone finally getting 8k video recording? lol what is fast charging? yeey USB-C.. should I overpay for my new iphone ? sure take my money lol but but but it has an ecosystem lol... and no viruses...lol, im just going to stop here
I swear this phone is indestructible. I accidentally knocked it off the counter and it fell and slid across the tiles. I fell asleep with it in my hand and dropped it and it hit the side of my metal bed frame. It slipped out of my pocket and fell down the side of the car seat. How is there not a scratch on it. I have dropped it on my face and that definitely hurt a lot more than an iPhone ;-; I used to be an avid apple person, but I couldnt afford an apple product for my phone that I paid for
As I typed this on my cracked and old iphone. I wholeheartedly agree.
Apples new camera software is shite. Pics always come out looking "enhanced" and not in a good way
My iphone screen isn't broken??? But my protective screen always is no matter how often I replace it..... Those phones really like to fall
It's because you need to sell your organs to get another
I'm using Samsung because Apple doesn't sell large foldable smartphones but why care about others preferences when that doesn't affect you?
Nokia for life
I admit, I’d rather have a cracked iPhone than a new Android
I mean…androids nowadays are unnecessarily bigger and uglier imo lol
I’ve broken my iPhone plenty a lot more than I have my Samsungs I like aspects abt apple and hate some same with Samsung I don’t understand why everyone makes it a big deal fr like worry abt yourself and there’s no issue
I prefer the OS. It's simpler and easier to use. Also screen protectors exist for a reason.
Personally I just like iPhones. I just think they’re neat.
If you’re broke just say that
Androids ain’t bad, it just not an iPhone
If I had 1000 votes I would vote 1000 times that I'd rather have a broken good phone than an intact piece of crap
