This post is as annoying as a boomer

booster shot 5G post, but I hate Apple. I have had my phone for 4 years. I love the button. I don’t want a new phone. Plus I like small phones which this one is smaller than any on the market. I will have to get the Mini IPhone.
But what makes me mad is how all the sudden they just die. It constantly goes to 3G. Browser crashes, photos won’t load. I dump the memory and I am still crashing all the time.
To boot I HATE the Verizon cell phone store more than buying a car. They are so pushy and it’s a terrible experience. But looks like I will start my day off there tomorrow and by lunch will need about 6 woodford on the rocks.

Do you have the 7 plus? I finally had to get a new phone
Dec 6, 2021, 2:13 PM

because of the same reason, I was having to charge it 3 times a day. My new one is actually physically smaller, even though the screen is bigger. Was a nice surprise. Lighter weight, too.
I would just order online. Cell phone stores seem to attract the dumbest people on the face of the planet. At any given time there's 3 people with the intelligence of a traffic cone lined up asking a million idiotic questions. The people working there aren't much better, they might be able to tell you what day they were born but that's about it.

Bruh, we finally see eye to eye. I have boycotted their products for years. They're overpriced, they don't do anything better than competitors, and they break easily or, as you mentioned, will become unusable--on purpose. They're also intentionally made to not play nice with the other devices so you have to buy adaptors and accessories and such. They can't even let their phones take JPG pictures, which is pretty #### standard.
Apple tries to operate as a cult and people own iPhones because they think they have to own them. It's one of the best cult/hive mindset schemes in American history.
For the Appleophiles about to rage in a response (because criticizing Apple to some is like kicking their puppy), I can prove it. You ever been in a text message chain with people and had just one Android person in there whose messages are coming up green? And remember how you gave that person #### and told him he should just buy an iPhone?
So you gave your friend #### for owning a different product and demanding he conform to what you own instead of demanding one of the greatest tech companies in American history make a very easy fix to their text platform?
Uh huh. That way to the pasture, sheep.

its called RCS. Apple has its own encryption protocol that it won't allow to go cross platform. Once again, apple tries to keep thing proprietary instead of open, as in open sourcing. As in playing nice with others.
Apple chooses to keep it this way. I understand it from a business perspective, but don't blame android. Apple wants it this way

What do Android people do to have nice images and videos
Dec 6, 2021, 2:49 PM
[ in reply to Apple people making fun of Android guy in a group text ] |
|
sent in group texts? Specifically why we have an immediate family minus one brother-in-law group text so full resolution images and videos are sent of grandkids/nieces/nephews, only using data (free messaging on Delta flights) which is advantageous when international? Oh, and iMessage is extremely secure.
And I've made it clear, not an Apple fanboi, just an iPhone fanboi. MacOS is the worst.

Just about every Android phone can work on the same universal USB-C charger?
But with Apple, you have to buy their specific charger or adaptor for their phones.
I'm sure that's real hard for them to fix.

from the start was how they didnt follow the .mp3 standard of music files. They had to go and create their own proprietary files. Just like everything they do. They can't follow standard phone cord connections. That alone makes me hate their products.

They are notorious for having issues after a year or two (I believe this is because they are taking cues from Apple in purposefully building obsolescence into their phones). In other words, that's more to do with hardware and not software.
iPhone/Android Phones having broken screens is so commonplace that I've noticed TV shows have started showing their phones in the show with broken screens just to build "realism" which is sadly funny.

used it to break my fall. Luckily that was the only thing that broke. I literally drop it every day and it has been a tank.
I get that people hate Apple, but the reasoning here is hilarious.
Also, suggesting my Samsung was only "going bad" because they copied the iPhone, which we have MULTIPLE ones that have easily lasted 2+ years is quite funny too.
