Current Events > I got my iPhone 14 Pro, and it's "meh".

(+) Yeah! (+)

Coming from Pixel 6 Pro, the iPhone 14 Pro is definitely better and more polished, but it's just "meh"... nothing AMAZING.

I don't really know what to do anymore

You said it yourself, its a very smooth experience.

Dont call us, well call you

Pixel 6 is too buggy, you made a good choice.

I just think its funny that iOS Chrome is better than Android Chrome because it doesnt have the god awful tab groups bullshit.

Z Fold completely ruined my ability to use any other kind of phone

Id buy a foldable phone in a heartbeat if they ever solve the crease issue. At this point Apple will probably release the first good foldable

'the crease issue' is solved by actually using the devices and realizing that you don't notice it unless actively trying to find it

don't own one, but have fiddled with display units enough and i've been amazed even just putting on a yt video or whatver its just not a problem

i do think the clam shell foldables are actually more of a problem with the crease since you will end up running your fingers over it more

apple won't release the first good foldable because they already exist, you're just too far up tim cook's asshole to see anything else

Ive seen the pictures and videos online and the crease is impossible not to notice. I know someone in another department at my work whos gone through 3 foldables all under warranty due to the crease. But sorry, any facts that show a brand new tech with a negative aspect to them is just fake news and up Tim cooks asshole
dont think, only buy android

okay, but you haven't touched one or held one or actually looked at one

you don't know what you're talking about until you've actually held one

I would consider buying a flippable iPhone for sure. I need to try it first.

there are negatives to the foldable form factors

they're more fragile, samsung has been having trouble with the screen protector film failing over time, they have generally not good battery life, haven't found a good solution to the front facing camera yet, and are not even dust resistant

the crease sounds like it should be there, but actually seeing it up close and using it - its not a problem

Lol righteo bud. Everyone complaining about it who owns one is wrong because I specifically dont own one yet

Lol iphones but going from a pixel phone to one is an upgrade for sure

the like 2 people you know that own one don't rule out the experiences of almost everyone else who has used a fold 3 or 4 or even moreso the ones developed by the major chinese OEMs that have virtually eliminated the crease

if they have a first gen or second gen, yeah they're different experiences but the crease hasn't been an issue for 2 years now at least

the fact of that matter is, you're wrong. holding one in your hands doesnt change how the crease looks from the videos and pictures online. you assume i didn't hold one because you're up samsungs ass huffing that copium. the fact of the matter is the crease is a dealbreaker

get bent, kid

iPhone is the king of all smart phones.

iOS and android are more similar than ever imagine simping for one brand over the other

android fanboys cant accept that someone can evaluate two products and come to a different conclusion than they did from only evaluating one product. and then when someone challeneges their worldview they devolve to juvenile responses such as post 20

Many people ask what phone OS is better and you should be able to give an answer

Ive checked out a few of my friends fold phones and the crease is always visible. I point it out and the response is always you just stop noticing it after a while (I have only seen a few in person, but have online friends who tell me the same thing).

That said, Ive never personally known anyone who got one and didnt like it, so to each their own.

post 20 is a juvenile response? you continuing to call me up samsungs ass when i point out the numerous issues that exist with their product is the juvenile thing

The guy really should be on everyone's ignore at this point.

He's literally saying that Android folks fail to see how people reach different conclusions from them yet he craps on everything and anything pertaining to Android in every topic where it comes up. I'd say he's a troll but he's trying way too hard.

you have a bit of tunnel vision there. ive stated multiple times that android and ios both have their pros and cons and they appeal to different people with different values. again you people are incapble of reading and only post juvenile ad hominem. where were you in the topics where i was stating androids pros over ios? oh right, you're just a troll looking to antagonise people

True, but iOS is more stable, has iMessages, and FaceTime.

I don't think being more stable is even something anyone would notice in 2022. It isn't as if Android is a buggy mess that crashes constantly. The user experience is very very good.

iMessage I'll grant, but RCS has really made the messaging experience on Android much better than it used to be. I just wish my preferred messaging app (Textra) was RCS compatible.

FaceTime I don't really get how this is any better than using the built in video calling of Android

Android is buggy as hell, what are you talking about? With my Pixel 6 Pro:

• Apps frequently crash or look crappy,
• Launcher keeps crashing when PIP is enabled that they still didnt fix after a year,
• Signal is unstable leading to call failures,
• Dark mode is inconsistent and doesnt work sometimes even in google apps,

I can go on and on

RCS is not even a good tech; literally cant do more than half of what iMessages can do. Also, as you noted, very little apps even support RCS fresh out of the box. Its a shitty experience.

Facetime is the same issue with RCS; there is no default app that is on every android phone and this fragmentation makes it so that you need 472747263 different apps.

That's an issue with the Pixel 6 specifically. It's known for being buggy as fuck for some reason.

It's not a shitty experience, it's just not as feature rich as iMessage. In all reality, it isn't even all that big of a deal, but I get why people prefer it.

You don't need a different app, video calling has just been built into the default dialer for quite some time now

I have a Pixel6 and never had any problems with it

People still tryna argue with Rika lol c'mon broooos

Didnt you say youve only fiddled with display models? Thats not a good basis for forming an opinion either.

As a side note, my Pixel 6a is fucking awesome.

My fianc just got a 14 the other day. Neither of us can tell much of a difference between that and my Xs

Sure, but if it was something I didn't notice without trying to during about ~20 minutes with it I imagine it would remain the same long term.

I'll grant it isn't the most sound argument given that though.

Course, it's meh. It's a minor improvement over 13.

Problem solved. You made the mistake of using Google hardware. Next time, do the right thing and get a Galaxy flagship.

because it's Google

it's like when people are somehow surprised when they find out Chrome is a shitty browser

It's not that they make bad hardware, it's just that they've really shined at making good midrange devices while not doing flagship level ones particularly good.

The 6pro was their shot at a real flagship level device, and they definitely hit the mark for the most part. The issue was early adopters of the phone had to deal with a ton of bugs and issues other manufacturers dont have.

I completely disagree that they hit the mark for the most part. The whole phone was a disappointment.

I mean okay, if you think so, but the main draw for the Pixel line is it's cameras which it did not fail at.

And the stock/barebones Android OS which I love and what keeps me from jumping over to Samsung. Phone has been hearing up like a mf lately tho and the battery is not the best. Hopefully there's a lotta cool marginal improvements with phones next year as I have no loyalty besides the phone being android lol. The Oppo Find 5x Pro this year looked really cool.

Can you select and delete on iPhone? No idea how to do it on Android

Pixel 6 Pro camera also wasnt anything amazing either; the photos looked way too artificial and over-HDRd. Sometimes, mostly outdoor photos, it looked pretty nice; but most of the time, it looked way too over processed for my taste.

In addition, video recording really falls flat, and it felt like a cheap $300 phone when recording stuff on video. Zooming in and out wasnt smooth at all, and theres a noticeable jump in orientation when you switch lenses. Very amateur level in OS programming, which is strange coming from such a huge company as Google.
