Reminiscing

My 6s battery was replaced and batteries cost $29 to replace in addition to power management, which android doesn’t have.

Android doesn't have it because it doesn't need it. Every device has power management but not every device throttles

What’s touch disease? But I never heard Apple say they saved costs on anything. Whatever you’re referring to could be the engineering they designed for the phone. Apple doesn’t cut corners, imo, to cut its nose off to spite its face.


There is such a thing called engineering improvements. Think how far cars have come since the pinto.

Read the iFixit analysis of Touch Disease. They have skimped on the underfill with iPhone 6 which is one less component to order meaning lower costs and higher profits. There is no engineering improvement as we went back to how it used to be because the 5S has the underfill.

It’s completely subjective as to this opinion.

Its a fact. Its even mentioned in AnandTech reviews. It was back in the days when Apple cared about the software experience and profits were a result of that experience. Now their brand sells so why bother perfecting?

Never is an absolute. I’m sure you can make your iPhone X stutter, but that it stutters in one area for an o/S that makes iOS 6 look like windows 3.1 that you say attention to detail is lacking, I say it works wonderfully.

I mean iOS has worsened in the performance aspect as even back in those Windows 3.1 days, Android used to be horribly laggy and now they have improved in performance while iOS has declined in performance.

Android needs it the phone just shuts off.

If that were the case every iPhone 6 should have had the problem but many did not. And that means Apple engineered their phones for the way most people use them.

An opinion is still an opinion.

My 5s and 6s disagrees with you.

Honestly, doesn’t the answer for just suggest itself in the quote above?

Stop wasting your time and get an Android.

Stop wasting your time and get an Android.

Good advice for everyone.

You are definitely on to something with Siri shortcuts. We are slowly moving away from hammering our devices like monkeys and instead getting interactions pushed to us when we need it instead of going looking for it in an app or App Store. Especially the way Shortcuts are being suggested to you in the lock screen etc. Also Siri. We have passed the wow period of this generation of devices.

We where easily entertained back then.

I'm still easily entertained on my iPhone I guess, or at least satisfied by the music and video apps now that they've smoothed out the music one somewhat (although I prefer iTunes on a laptop for music). The phone makes and receives calls perfectly, tells me how to get from here to there when I've never gone someplace before, sends and gets mail and texts, fetches notifications, news and, being an SE, it still fits in my pocket. Satisfied customer. I don't even mind Siri's bossy voice any more lol.

I’m going to watch my very first WWDC this year.
