Apple develop a better OS than Android and it shows. You can say android specs are better on paper but its a fact iOS runs smoother and apps perform better on iOS.

Not really. There's too much variation in android platforms to make a statement like this. iOS is consistent but many android devices perform better with certain apps.

Ive never seen this. I used to get the Galaxy Note series, and before those the HTC One M8. If multiple brands of upper specced devices dont match an iPhone then nothing does.

Its the best value for money phone on the market. The first gen iPhone SE is still getting major updates (iOS 15), and will get security updates for at least a year after the last iOS it supports reaches the end of its (feature) support. Any androids released around the time of the first gen iPhone se are probably in landfill by now, having stopped getting security updates years ago

the first se was one of my first smartphones, surprised people are still using it.

I can't do phones with home buttons in 2021 though. I will just spend 300 on a pocofone or something.

My Note 20 Ultra on 120 Hz refresh rate unquestionably runs smoother than my wife's 11 Pro Max. Saying otherwise would be denying reality.

Maybe Apple will catch up this year when it releases its own devices with that high a refresh rate.

This is what I do. I have an iPhone (6S still getting updates 7 years later) and an iPad (3 years old now). Had a Macbook in college but was not impressed. Now I have a windows laptop for work and built a desktop for home.

My last phone was a 6splus, was planning on keeping it for years, but it crapped out(less than 2 years old). Shoulda got AppleCare.

Two gens at this point. Though its more excusable now that the Switch is basically a gameboy. This actually really put me off when they made the decision back in the Wii era. They basically just gave up on keeping up hardware wise.

The Switch is over 4 years old now, so yea the hardware's gonna be dated.

But it has, like, 20 first party titles that each could be a system seller.

The specs on it are closer to the Xbox 360 (2005) than the PS5.

With the Wii they basically decided they couldn't keep up with the ramping up development costs of the next gen games so they made a conscious decision to go a different way.

Aren't the M1 chips supposed to be stupid great for a Laptop?

Also the fact that if you want a decent tablet, your choices are basically the iPad or a thousand dollar windows tablet.

And they control so much of the smartphone market to make stupid anti-consumer decisions that ruin the entire market for consumers because every other manufacturer can then do those same anti-consumer decisions and the apple sheep will say "see it isn't that bad if everyone is doing it" (see: no headphone jack, no charger, $1000+ phones)

That's why Nintendo is just going all in on "fun gimmick" rather than real gaming. So they can get all the casual people, and the hardcore gamers will still buy it for Zelda or whatever.

At least Apple isn't selling a product they released 15 years ago for more than it cost when it released >_>

I think the bigger issue is being trapped in their system after you invest too much to get out. At least with Android, all our shit isn't locked under one option or however many iPhones options there are. I dunno.

Its a double edged sword. I prefer the apple ecosystem to the android ecosystem since apples stuff just works more seamlessly and is more convenient to use.

Apple is very overpriced yes. Hardware in general has gotten to be overhyped and overpriced. For a while there it wasn't that way but I see more and more how people are jacking up the prices on hardware just to sell it a certain way. Developers have continuously gotten lazier too because of it amongst other things. The hardware being the least of those issues. It's more just development has become lazy because everyone is at the mercy of the same things and same corporations.

There are so many computer companies out there now too where people got money somehow so they decided to start a computer company and are trying to be apple jacking up the prices for what amounts to jack shit.
