And that's all an iPhone is to me. Is a tool that I use for many different things, aesthetics wears off anyways. I appreciate design and functionality, but I don't need an iPhone entertain me on a daily basis where I don't become bored with it.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone owners don’t know anything about Android. So, to us, innovations like OLED, edge-to-edge display, Face ID, and Wireless Charging are brand new and very exciting.
Nothing matters in mobile devices until Apple does it. That’s not wrong if you understand iPhone owners.
Agreed. If you get "bored" of a device, then it wasn't meant for you or you bought it in a fad. Also, an iPhone is a tool, so yes, agreed.
A good note pad to remember the things he’s claimed is what he needs. You’re right though, not much does.
Not feeling bored at all...
Still not worth anywhere near the price tag. The screen is amazing but the rest of the phone may as well be an iPhone 6s.

Bored? What did you want it to do? Phones are just about the same across all vendors now. Launch app, do stuff, close the app, rinse and repeat. Perhaps you're just bored looking at the grid of icons and want some customization like android. By the way, Note 8 is great. GF has one and it's smooth as buttah

Now you've slipped into the Twilight Zone. I've had iPhones since June 29th, 2007, and I know what Android and Android phones are. I've owned several of them.
Your argument has lost what little cohesion it may have had.
I could name 50 members of my family, friends, and co-workers who have never used or tried an Android in their lives.
You see, when a product lives up to all expectations and works perfectly every time you depend on it, there is no need to look elsewhere. I'm perfectly happy with my wife. If you want to cheat on yours that's up to you.
Not knowing about something isn't what makes something innovative or even new. Simply just makes those who don't know about it not as exposed to the real world.
Sure it does. If all one knows is iPhone, then only when features are innovated for iPhone are they known and appreciated, always as they make their very first iPhone appearance.
You can tell us that some old Motorola had an OLED screen in 2008 and you can tell us that some knockoff Android had wireless charging in 2011 but it doesn't make any difference to us. It's 2018 and the iPhone has these new innovations for the first time, it's quite exciting to us.
See, the 'real world' as you call it is full of substandard iPhone knockoffs and we have no patience for imitation. We are into authenticity.
You couldn’t write it...lol
This being nonsensical is not the funny bit, it’s the fact you’ve been repeating this for weeks and countless people have responded to you in utter disbelief. I actually don’t think you’re entirely serious. I have this vision of a group of teenage lads sitting around drinking and writing things on this forum and laughing their heads off at the fact your username gets responses.
I respond because it’s baffling how somebody can be so proudly naive to the smartphone industry and attempting to live it through one brand that you claim is a religion? It feels like the stereotype I’ve spent years arguing doesn’t exist has been reincarnated in your profile. Other iPhone users like myself are just cringing beyond belief lol.
You two may have noticed I don't respond to him anymore. I guess my patience level is lower than yours.
I am convinced of one thing, he is somehow related to . No executive that says “I am an important senior executive” would spend as much time here as he does. Tells me he isn't working that hard as “an important senior executive” unless he is with .
One other thing, somewhere here on MR he had a Freudian slip where he talked about how (paraphrasing here) "WE are going to continue........" Note the imperial WE as he supported .
Could I be wrong? Oh yes. Aging has taught me I am more often wrong than I would like, but there is just something about this that points me in the direction I have posted.
But enough of my thoughts, keep up the good fight and I'll keep reading and smiling, and SMH.
Essentially it always revolves around The user experience with iOS. Hardware is attention grabbing at first, but you eventually stop paying attention to it and the focus is about simplicity with iOS.
For the life of me I cannot understand why this is so difficult for you to comprehend. That millions of people who are pleased with a product and a brand to the point where they don't need to compare it to anything else and focus their energy's on more important things in life.
When I was a wee lad I made the decision that Coca-Cola was the best tasting cola and that was it. For the last several decades when I want a cola I reach for a Coca-Cola. I don't need to check out what Pepsi is doing or what RC Cola is doing or any number of generic off-brands. I'm good with Coke. Same with Q-Tips, same with Jell-O, same with Band-Aids. I'm sure there are companies making alternative cotton swabs, gelatin desserts, and adhesive bandages but I've trusted those products from those brands for decades and I really don't need to see if there have been any big innovations in the stick I put in my ear when it needs cleaning.
Same thing goes for Android, the RC Cola of smartphones.
You're just being silly now.
I like trying different things. I'm not stuck in a rut.
And yes, my iPhone X is jailbroken! The horror! The horror!!
You own an iPhone X. Good God, man. Act like it. Jailbreaks are strictly for the Craigslist crew.
That all sounds very dull and insular to me. You’re a marketeers dream always buying the same thing, stuck in the same boring routine, never trying anything new.
I guess I would be described the same way. My phone is a tool and when I use it, I like it to perform the job at hand with the least screwing around. I don't play with it when it is not doing a job for me. I have no need for customization. I feel the same way about my PC. That is why I use a Mac and an iPhone. I detest having to use my Windows laptop and would never buy a phone that I couldn't admin with a Mac.
I only buy iPhones too, but I take an interest in what the market is bringing and what Apple might be influenced by further down the line. I don’t eat the same foods and buy the same supermarket brands every week though. To me that’s dull.
I would have to be awfully bored to spend any time looking at what a droid is capable of because I find them irrelevant to my needs. They don't matter in the least.
I take an interest because eventually those features are adopted by Apple for the iPhone. I would have thought it’s quite difficult participating on here and avoid any talk of innovation too?
Yeah, there are a lot of threads that I stay out of because I have nothing useful to add. I don't know if I would call the stuff that is tried by android makers innovation though. They just throw stuff against a wall with little development and see if it sticks. For a new feature to be innovative, doesn't it have to be actually useful?
