I mean, apple would own all of literally the same stuff, no?

Just picked up my galaxy tablet yesterday. Really liking it.

What exactly do you need from a phone to be exciting?

This. Its a phone not a server. My problem with android was that it felt like you needed to be a programmer to unlock all the cool stuff. This was 12 years ago. I just want to make a call, play music and surf TD, not write code.

Yeah right, like Android users aren't themselves an Anti Apple cult.

Just look at all the dick stroking comments on here.

I use an iPad for work and have a Pixel for my personal phone. I continuously find myself swiping on the space bar on the iPad trying to move the cursor and then laugh as I now have to tap tap tap tap to get it where I want it.

Upgraded home security and thats the mainstream brand without going crazy expensive.

One of my many conspiracy theories is that intel agencies helped drive down the cost of these home security devices to gain access to incredible amounts of surveillance coast to coast they never otherwise would’ve been allowed to install.

I mean if the NSA wanted to force you to install cameras in our house democrats and republicans would be up in arms.

But if Amazon runs a 70% off sale on prime day we all line up to throw money at them to “secure” our homes.

Yet here I am with my ring doorbell so I’m as guilty as anyone.

Yes android makes lower tier phones across market segments. Flagship vs flagship with apple it's not even close.

Whoever said you need to write code to get the cool stuff, couldn't be more wrong.

The standard calculator app that saves history would be nice. Apples standard built-in apps are kept at the most basic of basic to push app purchases. I had old BB that I could choose to snooze the alarm up to 30mins. Not apple.

Unless you've really really used other phone OSs you can't understand this. I've gone from BB, to Android to Apple, and Apple is legit the minimum of minimum on innovation when it comes to its OS and it's built-in apps.

The way the BB10 OS all worked together was nice. Wish I wasn't so young, hand me down, to appreciate it. But BB shows the importance to innovate.

This is an Apple issue, not an Android issue, but you Sheeple believe the Apple marketing tricks to keep you in their walled garden.

BB10 was great and three years too late. Would've saved the Storm.

Man, now that I'm older and got into more work use on my phone, I think of the BB10 like an old gf. The way the HUB worked was fantastic. Especially since it was a simple swipe to get too. I hate having to open different apps to communicate.

Lack of app integration creates a clunky experience. And that's what I feel like with the iPhone.

And to the Apple Mafia downvoters, I'm not an Apple hater, just being honest. Ive had multiple iPads, iMacs, MacBooks. But I stayed away from the iPhone until I had too.
