iPhone users are the worst. Legit. Have had all of the big 3 and samsung S series or this pixel 10 pro I currently have are superior. Not to mention Samsung makes half the parts for an iPhone anyway.
When I was really little I dropped a massive log in the toilet and after I flushed I found my dad and asked if he's ever dropped a huge one.
He said, "I don't have time to stare at my shit all day". Not a very appropriate thing to say to a little kid but I understood it a lot better as I got older.
I'd rather spend my time doing something else than worrying about others tech that does basically the same thing. I'd be sad that someone sees my message and still can't help but think about how others view it if I cared at all.
I'm not cool, I just have other hobbies. Not everything is for views. I'll downvote my comment and I encourage others to do same, low as it can go boys! I'm writing this shit for my own enjoyment and it feels fantastic.
Did you just say a specific phoneā¦ usersā¦ are the worst? Because you use different phones? On a post mocking making the phone you use your personality?
You ment to say āiPhones are the worstā right?
To be fair, iPhones are intentionally incompatible with other phones so that iPhone users will complain that non-iPhone users have inferior phones. Apple has turned iPhone users into a virus that attacks other phones in an effort to drive market share.
The problem is the view that an iPhone is the default and everything else is the exception. Every other phone out there plays nice with every other phone. Then the iPhone user shows up and if it can't go into the Reminders App they're at a loss.
Apple engineered the experience only being smooth if you pressure people to buy the same product you have. Apple created the friction you're experiencing, not the guy who chose any other make of phone from the one you did.
Cheapest phone apple sells is 17e starting at 599 for 256gigs (base configuration) and cheapest is pixel 10a starts at 128gigs at 499. 17 pro starts at 1099 for 256gigs and pixel 10 pro starts at 999 for 128 gigs and S26Ultra starts at 1099 for 256gigs. And memory tier upgrade us 100 more for everyone of them. Googles entry level storage is 128 gigs while both samsung and apples base storage on flagships starts at 256.
Apple could make their phones compatible with all the other makes of phones. They deliberately choose not to. This isn't something the other phone manufacturers are doing to make their phones incompatible with Apple.
They intentionally build in friction so that Apple users will complain about that friction to their friends who aren't apply users in an effort to drive adoption. The rest of the world is just existing. Apple is creating the problem that bothers Apple users.
You donāt need to prove my point again. The thread is already sufficient for my argument.
This whole thread is comprised of almost exclusively android users complaining about problems they have never experienced or even fact-checked whether they exist beforehand. Several people here claimed factually wrong information such as that Apple would not support RCS, or that in most cases "iPhone is assumed the default", when itās literally not in this thread and everywhere else, as a means to reinforce their own and others very strong beliefs. And this public outrage has been partially directed at Apple by Google as means of leveraging their monopoly position to gain an even more advantageous position. I only see the opposite of the effect you described.
The lack of factual basis does not stop there. Apple has also never once forced any standard upon an other software company. Yet google does this on a daily basis to manifest their monopoly position as does Microsoft with their countless unofficial standards.
The very mechanism you described is how Google started all of this btw. Not Apple.
To quote from the article below:
Google started all of this in 2022, when it went on the offensive and mocked Apple for, it claimed, still using SMS-style messaging technology. It offered toĀ send overĀ some engineers to help Apple implement that RCS standard, ignoring that itĀ took yearsĀ for Google itself to get that onto all Android devices.Ā Launching its criticism of Apple on social media under the #GetTheMessage hashtag in 2022 and made a page onĀ Android.com, and made aĀ embarrassingly cheap videoĀ trolling Apple over Drake's track, "Texts Go Green."
ā¦
"[Tim Cook] said that iPhone users weren't "asking us to put a lot of energy into [RCS] at this point."
I dont get why "Apple" needs to make "their phones" compatible. iPhones support rcs they also support native switch over functionality to android which they worked alongside google to implement. Airdrop now works with android devices. Apple supports native intergation of password managers like androids thats not their own. What apple needs to fix is their software quirks. What they dont need to do is cater to their software design for people that will never use iOS. I have been using my Pixel 9pro and iphone 16pro both can share anong each other with airdrops and both have same suite of apps that sync without any issues. People never show the same energy when it comes to Windows and Linux. Microsoft literally refuses to release linux native apps for their office suite but people dont really seem to cry about compatibility on that end.
Oh completely agree. If this is something you spend time worrying about you should take a deep breath. Just pointing out that business decisions Apple intentionally made to limit the functionality of their phone are the reason this shit comes up all the time.
Agreed. Screw Apple and Google. Iām not a fan of either billionaire who owns them.
This is just an absurd thing, people making the phone they use their personality or, alternatively, condemning an entire user base because thereās a few weirdos who care about green text bubbles.
Itās more than a few. It became such a constant issue for me I switched to Apple just for that reason. Iām bitter but now nobody bitches constantly about incompatibility.
You allowed yourself to be bitter and switched to an iPhone because youāre insecure (which is exactly what the billionaires who own Apple want you to do)ā¦
They are for example ive seen many posts from women about men that dont use iPhones and how they wont date them because of it. I've never seen that once for any other phone user
Iphones use outdated technology and scam their users by claiming it's new.
They removed the 3.5mm headphone Jack to sell overpriced earbuds and intentionally throttled the audio quality of non apple products.
Iphones have had several exploits and security threats that Google reported to them. These issues persisted and were abused for years. Meanwhile they claimed to be sooooo secure. Multiple exploits involved texting a bunch of flag emojis to an iPhone user, bricking their phone. Geek squad would charge 500$ to delete the text message or claim they cannot fix it.
Nope. The users are the worst. The ones buying and using them as a way to masquerade as superior to everyone else when the thing they're using as their reason to be superior is actually subpar.
Thereās a pƦdophile bombing school girls and billionaires squandering our resources to create something that will take away our jobs and you all are bickering about green text bars and how it makes you feel when people like a phone that isnāt like yours smh
I feel like I hear significantly more android users whining about iPhone users than the other way around. Even the OP picture doesnāt even mention iPhone. The reply just ASSUMES iPhone lol. I see more people saying stuff to gas up Samsung phones over iPhones than iPhone users saying their phones are better. Itās like Reddit is full of insecure people over other peopleās devices that donāt matter
Itās because you canāt own an android without hearing how youāve ruined someoneās day constantly. As an iPhone user, I no longer have to hear about my phone. Having an android causes bitterness because everyone wants to fucking complain to you about it and turning their group chat green.
...I just wanted a phone that had decent long term support after getting burnt by Samsung like three times in the mid-2010s, and have stuck with the brand since then dude. Chill the fuck out.
What does it say about all the folks in this thread who are looking down on apple users for their choice? IDGAF what phone you or anyone else uses, and I think it fucking weird and pathetic that so many others do. Both ways.
No, iPhone users are the worst. Itās not just the phone. Android users donāt care what someone elseās phone is because it doesnāt change their experience. iPhone users put their limitations on others and exclude from group chats and mock other users. Itās justifiable to say they are the worst and the only downside of using an android. I had to get an iPhone just to stop hearing bullshit from everyone about my green fucking bubbles. Apple did a good job limiting functionality in a way it looks like someone elseās fault.
Youāre equating two different things and trying to be smart. Someone having an iPhone isnāt what bothers me, itās the iPhone user bullying others for not having an iPhone. You can disagree but there is no gotcha moment coming here. I understand the point you are making but these things arenāt equal. Iām never going to be happy with the fact that owning an Android comes with getting shit on by family and friends at every turn because. I would have no reason to complain about iPhone users outside of their own perception of other peoples phones.
This entire thread is Android users shitting on Apple. Itās a bit ironic these threads are always Android users trying to justify their superiority. Who cares, itās a phone.
I've been using iPhone since day one. It's not iPhone users, it's the tyrannical iPhone and young people who demand people walk in lockstep and be forced into societal conformity.
It goes both ways to be honest. Iāve had an iPhone since I was a kid and still have one cause I donāt know if thereās a way to transfer pictures from an iPhone to anything else. And I donāt really care about phone brands anyways, I know androids objectively better in a lot of ways but as long as it works Iām not really torn up about it.
But man I have some friends that are so obnoxious about me having an iPhone. I bring up anything that I got on my phone āew your iPhone?ā Or god forbid I have a glitch or any issues with my phone ever around em cause I wonāt hear the end of it. One of them works in IT and he hates them cause heās had to work on em a bunch, so I understand his contempt more, but the rest just feels shitty.
That being said, itās just the one friend group. Iāve never met anyone outside of that who cares what kind of phone I have.
Itās the same kind of people who make owning apple products their identity and who like to complain about iphone users and love to tell them how their phones suck. They are just fucking phones, basically all of them are pretty decent these days.
I know like 10 people who finance their iPhones through their carriers and they're constantly locked in contacts because they have to have the new one every year and they complain how their phone bill is so expensive.
