This is very legit reason to buy a high end iphone.
Others who just play with it are waised in vanity

  It's a phone. You don't need a "legit"  reason to buy it. If you want it and you can afford it, you get it. That's legit enough.

Step up your game before your woman leaves you for Tyrone and Jamaal.  Don't end up like Boogie2988.

It would take two men to replace me.

I refuse to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of technological planned obsolescence.  I also refuse to shell out $1000 for a PHONE, for hell's sakes.

This is my phone that I got circa 2010 and it still works just fine, thank you very much.  But I get lots of shit about it from family and co-workers alike.  Oh well.  I laugh to myself every time the latest iOS update bricks their iPhones or puts funny characters in their texts, OR their latest phone gets a cracked screen from being dropped 6 inches.

Blackberry fell out of the cell phone game because they couldn't keep up. Yet you admit and defend having a phone that you get lit up by family and co-workers. And from a company that lost out. Don't buy a phone just to get caught up in the "gotta get the newest", but just to stay updated. It's kinda like the grandpa who still drives his 1980s Cadillac, because "them newfangled Caddys have too much going on". It's called progression and evolution.

And it takes more than dropping the phone 6 inches for its screen to get cracked.
I've never had a cracked screen with any of my cell phones. From the nokias, all the way up to the iPhone 7.
Usually cracked screens come from people who have no protective case or covering, and dropping them on the pavement or parking lot, sometimes with force. Or actually throwing them on the ground (no protective case) and then someone may stomp on it as well.

You laugh because it's ANOTHER update you're behind on and it's making you feel miserable lol

Iphones are surprisingly durable. When I got the 7, which seemed huge at the time, I started a thread on here asking about how people did without putting cases on their iphones. I didn't want to add any extra bulk to it. Anyway, I risked it and the thing still looks brand new after a year of wear.

I think most phones work fine, but you can really feel the technology when you start going up in price. One of my favorite things about the 7 was the haptic response. It's just a nice little touch that adds to the finished quality. I was so disappointed when ios update took it out of the compass. Also, the fingerprint unlock.I'm not sure, but I don't think any midmarket phones have that.

my honor 7 has fingerprint unlock and its a 300dollar phone. My 9 year old daughter  got a iPhone 7 plus for her birthday and i got a cracked two year old Huawei lol, but she dares me to loan it on the weeks when she is at her mom's place and it just lays in her drawer 😀 never liked iphones before but this one is really cool so i might change from Android to

Got a Google phone and it works great. It's android too.

I don't doubt that android phones work fine and some are probably even great. What I was asking about specifically was moving from an iphone to an android because you thought it was a  better user experience. I can see moving to a cheaper android because you didn't need a lot of the shit on an iphone or never bothering with an iphone in the first place and thinking an android is fine. I would guess that people who move from iphone to android because they prefer the phone is a lot rarer. I don't think the phone is perfect, but in my experience, there is a huge difference in polish between iphones and android phones, even higher end android phones.  I was wondering if there was an android phone that actually was better because there are a few inherent advantages with androids. I could fuck with  not having to deal with itunes anymore, but at the same time, the way the android phones i have organized files i import is strange.

Now Apple is getting sued after admitting that it throttles the performance of older phones to "save battery" 

It's impressive how people will continue to worship a corporate brand that repeatedly fucks its userbase over

That's like saying you went to McDonald's and adding they had Big Macs

On an iPhone 10, what is your expected monthly phone bill?

Iphone 10 with 64gb is 999.99 and the 256gb is 1149.99.   On a device payment, either 41.66 or 47.91 a month.  If you buy it anywhere else for less, its going to be a clone.  The ones they have out there are insanely hard to tell and they actually will hook up to service.

It's not even really an iPhone 10. It's just a money grab iPhone 9 labeled an iPhone 10 for even more money grabbing.

If the 10 came out a year from now instead of right now it would have more features.

So the 11 would be the real 10 if they weren't greedy. If that makes sense.
They could probably release the iPhone 15 right now but they need to add slow incremental changes so people buy a new phone every year like the suckers we are.

Or how about not supporting an 1-2 gen older phone, forcing one to get a new phone, regardless of which brand you go to.

There should be far more players in the game, with far a variety of OS.

android have the translate function on whatsapp whereas iphones don't.

it's an excellent tool for getbiggers when organising business trips to dubai, india

Serious question, not meant to sound like an apple fanboy. Santa is rumored to be getting me an iphone 10 for Xmas, so I gave my 7 plus to my mom because her ancient phone was on its last legs. She was really appreciative of it, thought it had a lot of cool features, but from a basic standpoint she's somewhat disappointed. Not to go into too much detail, but the biggies are the fact that she can't charge the phone while talking on her headset, words with friends is way harder to play without the android back button and adding music to it will be way more complicated.

Setting up the phone for her, I'm reminded of all these things about iphones that have slightly annoyed me over the years.I've gone through almost every major generation iphone, but I have had 2 android phones. The major things I didn't like about the androids were the interfaces which I thought were poorly designed, the app selection was poor and most apps that were in both stores had noticeably fewer features on the android. One thing I did like about android was the fact that you can use adblocking on browsers. I still have one of the phones primarily for watching youtube without ads.  

1.) You can used ad blockers on iOS now for a few years now. They are call content blockers. I used purify but blockbear is go as well
2.) I had a oneplus work phone that I have to get rid of because it has a rootkit install on it.
3.) apps are always better on iOS, even google's apps
4.) If you want to charge and use wired headphones you are going to have to get bluetooth headphones are used a splitter
5.) Ios has customer support and you don't have to dal with carriers, so better support for devices
6.) I have an iPhone x, and yes the face id takes a while to get used to
IMO Android sucks. Malware in the official store, no upgrades or patches for most phones, rootkits installed from the factory. But people are going to like what they like. If your mom like android get her an android. But make sure to get her a google phone, like an old nexus, pixel or pixel 2. They have patches and updates.

Any phone running stock android with Snapdragon 835 smokes iPhone, iOS 11 is a laggy framedrop mess. Even iOS 10 was trash, android has surpassed iOS in terms of smoothness with less powerful chipsets. Especially with Oreo

Plus androids you can drag and drop MP3s and videos and even download them in the browser

Can download porn also

Once we start seeing 120hz displays like the razer phone it'll be game over for the crapphone

No. They state it prevents random shutdowns. I think it is probably so it doesn’t good boom in your hand like a samsung.

1.) total bullshit, A11 Bionic chip is the fastest processor out right now. And iOS is better optimize so It needs less ram then android.
2.) you can download media on an iOS device.
3.) why do you want porn on your phone? Everyone jacks off but you don’t own a computer or have a chick huh?

That shit doesn’t even have bb10 on it.

Anybody know how to format this site on a Pixel 2? Everything comes of fine but only
this site isn't formatted on my phone. It comes out super tiny and when I expand it
so it's large enough to read I lose half the text and I have keep scrolling side to side
to read a post.

Here is a question for anyone who has ever been in the communications business ....

What is "Blue, Orange, Green, Black, Brown, Slate"!

If you respond to that correctly, you're pretty damn smart!

Should be blue, orange, green, brown, slate - the code has five colors... & the order goes white, red , black, yellow, violet.

I did a lot of work in the communications field right after school & terminated many 25 pair & larger cables while setting up an MDF/IDF. I did both voice & data, copper & fiber all over the place - saw some interesting shit...

PS... The only time I've ever considered a cell phone to be a status symbol was back in the day when I was the only person to use one.

But back then there were only a handful of cell phone users ... so most of us had no one to call and converse with except for the cell phone bosses whose cell phone office was in their family automobile and wanted us to sell them.

Our sales eventually picked up when cell phones became a popular item among the hookers.

They gave us their business because our only competitor (Motorola) did not want to risk the possibility of  a 'bad business'  experience.

Now it appears that I will be required to possess a thousand dollar phone  to impress the masses instead of my old ammo box with the handset mounted on top of it .... and no one to call up and talk with!

What so-called status symbol has yet to be invented that will soon be impressing each of us?

Stunt, I had a Motorola 8000 too. Needed it for my business. I had a pager, clients would page me, and I would call them back. I think I had 200 minutes a month on the phone, and paid $300 or $400 a month for service.

I used Firefox on my laptop for over around 8 years then went to Opera for about four years until
they got rid of bookmarks.

I'll try to dl firefox on my Pixel2.
