Why do you iPhone nikkas always pick the shyttest andriod devices to switch over to. Just to bytch about andriod. GET A FCUKING SAMSUNG YOU LOSER. STOP PLAYING WITH THAT OTHER shyt. DONT TOUCH NO LG. DONT TOUCH NO GOOGLE PIXEL. DONT TOUCH NO MOTOROLA. JUST FCUK WITH THE GALAXY BREH.

Pixel >

Samsung has too much bloatware and stock Android is better than One UI. Their Hardware is much better than Google's though.

Pixel, Samsung, and OnePlus are the only brands anyone in the US should buy. Motorola is good strictly for those on a tight budget as they have phones that are 95% stock Android for sub $200.

TYRONE GA!
Android phones have too much bloatware. And the amount of customizations you can do to it eventually makes the phone even slower.

I don't like the UI layout either. I like that the iPhone has kept it simple. Other than texts, emails, or browsing the web, I don't get roped into being on the device longer than I would be if I had an android. The last one I had was the Note, and I spent like 45 minutes one time just changing the theme and icons.

And I'm caught up in the ecosystem. I've had an Apple Watch since 2020, iPad since 2021, Apple Card since 2021, iCloud, and I will probably get a MacBook by the end of the year.

iOS always updates for everyone. You could have an older Android phone that gets updated faster than a newer one depending on the hardware brand.

And again... companies like google force you to keep their apps on the phone.

True videographers and photographers know that a phone will NEVER replace a dedicated video/photo camera. And it will never replace high quality dedicated audio tools.

Only average users believe that kind of talk which is who its marketed towards.
Outside of a few phones on the market, they are all the same thing nowadays.

Not true. You can make a movie on an iPhone. Lighting is more important than the camera.

Due to my frustration with what appears to be a completely disintegrated life cycle for each iPhone where is my first iPhone 4 lasted until I got an iPhone 7 that was about 7 years and then my iPhone 7 lasted for about 4 years until I got an iPhone 13 and then within two years the phone is slow in ways it doesn't need to be and then I started looking into taking my stuff off of iCloud and I found all these like roadblocks and hurdles to get over to just get access to my files like they'll give you access to them but you won't like be able to get them in any convenient way that you would expect for a service that you paid for on a monthly basis for over a decade you'd think it could be like a one click it done in thing or you could actually maybe even just hook up your external hard drive and hit a button and it just transfers but no you're going to get like a link to all these files and it's going to you have to download 30 of them and each one will have varying success on whether you're able to download it without the download canceling on you all this is quite frustrating

So I started looking at phones in the Android ecosystem and I settled on some of the offerings from Chinese manufacturers who make this segment of phone called rugged phones and these phones have battery life and exceedance of 20,000 mAh whereas an iPhone is like less than 5000 mAh so my phone lasts like about a week per charge, and I have no range anxiety about needing to bring my charger with me everywhere I go this is convenient but then there's all these things that I took for granted with my iPhone where it's like all these programs on there are quite seamless in the camera doesn't like hiccup and stutter and take like 5 seconds to open or just an extra 3 to 4 seconds to process each picture taken or weird sloppy zooming

So now I am looking at the iPhone 16 features and I see ChatGPT will be built right in

For years the iPhone has been marketed for like photographers and and videographers are sold on this idea that they can make a whole movie within cinematic quality just for their phone and I'm wondering when other realms of creatives will be accounted for like when will an iPhone be able to truly replace the need for recording studio when will there be like a seamless digital audio workstation built in a microphone that rivals the Sony c800g

Anyways I guess this time is basically like a iPhone tolerance break and I will soon be back into getting another iPhone but I just feel like they could definitely offer a very high quality microphone or like a fraction of what it would take to improve the camera continuously

:mjlol:

You can do anything you want, but if you think you can shoot a film with an iPhone and it be comparable to an Arri Alexa or even an FX6, then you are not serious at all.

Lightning is not more important. What good is lightning if your crappy lens can't even take advantage of it? There are zero settings on a phone to compensate for different lighting.

People that say things like that are exactly who Apple markets to when they advertise "Cinematic Mode". It's a replacement for the average people who have never even used a professional camera before, but real professionals would laugh at you if you show up to a shoot and pull out your iPhone.

Nobody is taking you seriously if you roll up somewhere with an iPhone. I know people who say they’re shooting professionally with one, but I don’t believe them. Roll up in a paying gig with an iPhone and let let me know how that goes :russ: Plus you need accessories to make that shyt work anyway, lens filters, etc. I love when people talk about these phone cameras and then you ask them to take your picture and them shyts suck.
Imagine you pay hundreds and even thousands for a photographer/videographer and they show up with an iPhone in their hand?

:mjlol:

On paper my phone has amazing specs. 8GB of RAM, but something about the operating system not being ideal for it is the issue. I want to try to de-Google operating system or perhaps something Ubuntu inspired
yeah im looking at your amazon link for that 'rugged' phone and theyre tryna say it has 24gb of ram :mjlol:

read deeper and it says "8GB RAM + 16GB VIRTUAL RAM = 24GB RAM" like wait a minute :dahell: are these motherfukkers tryna hustle me with a SWAPFILE?

oh HELL NO :ufdup:

Saw one the other day that had a massive line through it but yeah I’ve been looking might cop 2m



Look again.


You saw a factory screen protector bruv.

No line on my fold 4 and it is two gens old now.


Only line I got on a folding phone is on my windows duo.


Which is two separate screens.

So of course it has a line
The duo is a gen one. This fold 4 has no line breh.

That is a factory laid screen protector. That comes standard.

You can take it off and add a more robust screen protector.

which could have a line depending on the screen protector and care of application.

past that...
i have no line on my flip 4 phone breh.

They are on fold z 6 now.
