Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/29/17 10:28:34 AM #15:	Switched from my iPhone 6 Plus to Galaxy S8 Plus last month. My 6 Plus would have qualified for this battery replacement deal, however I had already replaced it earlier in the year. The battery life after replacing it STILL wasn't as good as it was when my 6 Plus was mint, so I'm going to assume that my CPU performance was still somewhat compromised. As for iMessage, I missed it for maybe like half a day. The amount of features my S8 Plus has is mind boggling - I realized just yesterday that I can auto call the person I'm texting just by bringing the phone to my ear. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius <cite>Super Saiyan 3 Goku posted [p:893062009] in Apple apol...

Are you one of those tinfoil hat wearing people who thinks he's worth being spied on? It is more about the fact that I do not know a single person that uses WhatsApp and everyone I know uses iMessage. The issue with Facebook-owned apps is the retargeting abilities that are granted to advertisers through it. I have some reasons why I don't want to be retargeted via Facebook (work related).
