Unless you have an iPhone 8 or an XS/XR it's pointless to upgrade.

Ihave never preordered an Apple product

They shovel the shit out at such an alarming rate I didnt know anyone still waited at the store.

Ive been using an iPhone for 15 years and am about to switch to android just so I can play old Pokemon games on it while I fill the gap between dumb corporate work.

I bought an iPhone 15 like 6 months ago, and the extra button for camera controls doesn't really seem worth the upgrade. Honestly, the iPhone 16 doesn't really feel like an upgrade over like, an iPhone 13, I don't really know who its for.

No but I dont nor have ever owned a cell phone. Dont need or want one.

I did however buy a new 13 inch iPad Pro last month. My previous tablet was 7 years old and for various reasons one of which the battery was so bad it had to remain plugged in 100% of the time to use it so I decided to replace it.

I know people love to complain about Apple but I like their products so if I did ever get a cellphone it would be an iPhone. But I dont see myself ever getting one.

None of the iPhones upgrades have ever justified the price increase. Its just mindless morons clamoring for the new thing despite it having zero positive impact on their life.

The only reason they keep making money is because they include degradation software in every update, forcing the customer to think their device is obsolete.

You did not get an iPhone 12 for $200 without some plan change perk.

Apple's been boring for years but it's weird seeing people make the same bizarre early/mid 00s criticisms of Apple and iOS as if Android hasn't been janky as shit since its first version.

Nothing Phones are 10/10 though, I'd switch over if I had the money.

You never heard of Delta? It came out like 5 months ago on the iOS app store. Works up to DS, and pretty sure you can get a 3DS emulator on there too

Delta is free. So is RetroArch so you should really never need to spend money on an emulator.

I'm just saying that having emulators is kind of a stupid reason to switch to Android, when iOS just now finally got them on the app store, and it was a huge deal. Even caused a lot of ROM sites to shut down due to the TikTok generation making videos on where to find ROMs. I can't believe the guy I quoted didn't know about it earlier

Well theres a lot less people on here than used to be. I tend to use this place as a news aggregator as it almost perfectly encapsulates all my interests.

Wait, that's why they shut down? I'm a Twitch streamer, and while I personally don't use emulators, I know a lot of people that do, so I was hearing a lot about those sites shutting down, but I never heard a reason.

Well yea I know, emulation finally on the app store is a pretty big thing. But that has nothing related to my post and my point still stands. Iphone will continue to get new apps and features which are already existing, and done better on present android phones. It's an endless cycle every year when apple makes their new phone with their new "technologies"

Pretty much this. The Tik Tok generation doesn't understand the concept of shutting the fuck up and not desperately wanting online clout so a bunch of creators were making videos showcasing ROM sites; some of which were around for decades.

Ironically this is the same generation that's been partly the reason why retro game prices are skyrocketing. They're tech illiterate and in some cases literally afraid to emulate because they think it'll land them in a federal supermax.

I have considered buying a Mac from from to time, just to familiarize myself with those so I can stop answering every old person in the world's PC problems with "sorry, I don't know anything about macs," but as time has gone on, people have stopped using traditional computers in favor of phones and tablets anyway, so I don't get those questions anymore.

As with all emulators, it's up to the user to get the ROMs

Yup, right after Delta came out, so did TikTok guides on where to get ROMs. Shortly after that, many longtime ROM sites got cease and desist letters from a conglomerate representing several game companies. Not a coincidence

No one cares about your "point" because it's irrelevant to this particular conversation

Isnt that what I said? My iPhone 7 was about to lose support so I went from metro to its parent company. Never had the latest model of any phone, and Ive been reading about the older models before their launch which mostly recommend waiting. The 16 is supposed to be an actual upgrade. What do I know though, Im just a mindless moron.

Its being shipped to me btw so I dont have to go wait in a line

I went with Apple for 2 gens, and didn't like having to sell my technological soul to their ecosystem.

I went with the Pixel 3 years ago and am verry happy with it. Yes, Goofle wants to suck you into their ecosystem, but a throwaway email account is all you need to avoid the more intrusive/restrictive aspects.

On topic, no. I ride my phone until it quits.

Most people do it that way but you can use any bluetooth controller. I don't emulate games on my phone, but if I did I would get something like the Backbone controller:

Yes.

The 15 has been the worst Apple device Ive ever owned in terms of battery life and overheating. Reminds me of my Android phones.

The 16 got a new cooling system and the longest battery runtime of any iPhone. Im sold if true.

You're not going to notice anything different (including performance) except for the Dynamic Island giving you a small amount of extra screen space and the always-on display is only useful if you buy an accessory to turn it into a nightstand alarm clock when propped on its side.
