they seem obsessed with iphone user's.
they everywhere reddit, mac forum's, youtube...
most iphone users are not attacking Android users... seem's to me 99% android users vs 1% iPhone users. is that they main mission in life?
just enjoy your toy, and leave people alone.

This would have had a much stronger effect on me before August when I was forced to use an S6 for three weeks after dropping my 6s+.
How can a phone be so good on paper and yet such a nightmare to use?

It's easy to come up with one sided arguments. People have made joke posts like this showing what the iPhone 5s can do that a newer Android phone can't. And OP, the S6 isn't water resistant, and besides having more cores the CPU is much slower.
If they didn't underclock the Qualcomm's, then we'd have two different performing iPhones. & what if a certain market only received one type of modem?
Everyone should be treated equal, especially when we're all paying the highest price for these devices.
Yes the S6 has more features than the iPhone X/8 but it’s the user experience and the ecosystem that is more important to me.
I just say iPhones are generally much easier to use and i have use both extensively android (s7) and iPhone (my 6s+)
There are many reasons i can self justify why iPhone r better over android myself and the list goes on but this is from my personal pov and no bias:
1. App more clean looking and stable overall experience is better
2. The camera is more true to life which is good for me because i can edit. How i see it is apple leaves a skeletal canvas of an image and it leaves it under to me to do abit of post processing be it lazy insta or at home. I like this personally as it is not messing up the colors
3. Iphone rarely overheats unless i do video which i never do. Video is one of the most intensive task an iphone could possibly go through and thats about it.
4. I find 1080p display good on my 6s+ no need 1440p displays personally the pixels becomes harder to discern which means overall worse batt life
List can go on but here are my four reasojs haha. I find 2 n 4 most important to me imo because i take alot of photo n use the phone alot so batt life becomes an important factor for all day life at least
[doublepost=1507452487][/doublepost]if it was any iphone before 6s era then i wud say it sucks but now nope they are getting better 6s onwards
I think the thinking is that the note 8/S8+ are supperior to the X in terms of features.
[doublepost=1507453178][/doublepost]I though the S6 wasn’t water resistant. I thought they took it away and then brought it back in the S7.
Because I prefer the overal user experience of using Apple products over bragging rights of having the highest spec phone.
I’m not anti android or bias in anyway, I have a work supplied Samsung Galaxy that I get on fine with and enjoy using, but I massively prefer iOS in nearly every way, and as a loyal Mac user it’s a lot easier to have all my content unified and synced using iOS portable devices than Samsung.
All that is more important than side by side specs that don’t really mean an awful lot in my every day use. It’s a phone at the end of the day, I use it to stay connected with people and to check my calendar and browse the web. I don’t care if it has 8 cores or 6 or whether there’s a rival device out there that’s a mm thinner or has slightly higher pixel density. My real word user experience is vastly superior using an iPhone.

With far superior performance, actual updates, better software library, integration with other devices, blah blah.
Wishful thinking from the android fans.
Also, i find it hilarious that i’m often asked for help by android users with their android devices because they just don’t work with various network features without screwing around.
In 2017 it certainly does, but the S8 definitely is a lot sleeker, the point is that Apple was (and continues) to lag so far behind others in terms of features, its rather embarrassing. I understand the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, because of the iOS ecosystem, but the fact remains Apple is only now catching up to android in terms of features.
Yet, with that said, apple feels justified in charging 1,000 dollars for a phone that has features that were in a phone in 2015
Thing is, a lot of the spec sheet stuff is irrelevant. in real terms the iphone has had better more accurate colour, faster performance from 2 cores than android has had from many more, way better software, etc.
Cores counts are like clock-speed races from the late 90s and early 00s.
They’re kinda not directly comparable.
Same as megapixels. Building an X megapixel camera is irrelevant if your lens can’t feed it enough light, etc. All you end up with is less colour accuracy and worse ISO for a given amount of light.
But hey, a bajillion megapixels and more cores mean bigger numbers on a spec sheet for the uneducated masses to salivate over.
To a point, yes, but with the iPhone X, it represents a product that apple is only catching up to the competition. Features that were promoted by Apple, such as wireless charging, facial recognition, etc, etc have been around for many years. While Apple may have improved how those features operate to some degree, they're not leaping frogging android. What I can on the iPhone x, I can do on any number of android phones.
The NFC chip inside an iPhone is locked to use with Apple Pay. Android phones allow developers to use the NFC chip for 3rd party accessories and services.
Wireless charging: i agree.
Facial recognition i think is a step back. It’s been available on windows for ages, don’t use it there either.
There’s plenty of stuff iOS can do that android lags behind in.
