I’ve tried all the flagships too well mostly all the nexus lineup which should be their vanilla but premium phones. I would always come back because I would mess up everyone’s group message. Yes texting is what I do 80% of the time on the phone so it’s important to me. But to have people that are stubborn like a mule to download something all together and decide to use it all together is tough. “Go back and get a iPhone”. And for me to just pick up my iPad and start where I left off with the phone still in my car is awesome. Plus I wouldn’t trust no 3rd party with anything I text anyways
But go ahead and search WhatsApp eating my battery and see what comes up then when you email them theyll probably tell you wait for a patch or it’s your phone. I’m sure iMessage as there problems with battery hog too but Apple will fix that real quickI'm not exactly confident about calling these numbers battery-hogging:
Pick one phone to go head to head with the apple. cant have apple stack up against 8 other phones that each have pros/cons about them and then compare it to apples X directly.
please tell me what about the apple/iphone X that not innovative?
Really reluctant to wade in this discussion because I don't care which is better for any individual, but I'm curious and/or wanted to comment about some things. I'm into solutions, not fanaticism.
iMessage was there well before any of the third party apps appeared. Except BBM perhaps. What was and still is a huge advantage is that the user doesn’t have to make the choice whether to use SMS or iMessage. SMS has been a hugely popular and standard service in GSM countries since the early nineties, but less so I guess for our USA based friends. That is why iMessage was and continues to be so great.
FWIW, these aren't very compelling features to me personally, but could very well be to others. I don't use other keyboards but heard good things about Swiftkey. The volume of the clock doesn't bother me, but maybe it's the alarm I chose. Samsung browser full screen sounds like a good feature, but I haven't found myself wanting of more space with the X where only a small sliver at top remains. I was expecting to hear a couple tidbits about stock apps like maps which can't really be denied that it has more data and accuracy on google. Maybe others may chime in about others.
Agree that the cross platform is key. It will always be beneficial because of this and probably always have a place on my phone. I've used group chats and links and other features too. I appreciate there is always a long feature list with google products for when you need them. I know they pushed a lot of the cool internet tricks early on as betas, and others haven't really pushed into these areas. But with that innovation, they don't always finish the job. Many products seem half finished, but without other good alternatives, I use them.
So what? You're saying the other phone is better because the video quality is lower so doesn't use up memory so fast?
I've had the most of the beta versions on my 7Plus and X and haven't noticed anything at all in normal use. I am not saying that bugs do not exist but in my usage none have manifested themselves
Entirely subjective. I love the X and prefer it to any other current phone.
Well that is iPhone in general and not specific to X
We all want longer battery life. It is midnight here and my X has been off charge since 7am and it's still at 65%. More than enough for me.
It will improve.
Again this is subjective. I prefer the X colours and the notch is cute.
On paper some other phones might do things better or have better hardware, but I think the X as a whole is a better package than those.
But it won't be Apple and it won't integrate seamlessly with other Apple hardware. So there is an added price to owning an iPhone over an Android. If that worries you then buy an Android.
Why did you buy it then?
Before I had unlimited texting, I tried to minimize my texts to non iphone users. Wasn't always possible. Since then, I agree, if you are on unlimited texting, not a big deal.
Wouldn’t you like to have your messaging in a single application? And whilst SMS may be unlimited for most, MMS most certainly isn’t. IMessage provides a super convenient and easy extension to the SMS service to integrate full multi media from sharing nearly anything you’d like in a single application. I really like it.
Haha, sad but true. I simply didn't text them and told them to stay out of my group texts. Seriously. I have unlimited now, but they're probably still stung by my exclusivity.
True if you are still paying for SMS with folks who don't own iPhones.
I don’t know—can you walk into a dedicated store with your google or Samsung phone and have it replaced or rapidly repaired if there is an issue?
