I’ve been an Apple fan and ardent Apple fanatic from the beginning. I’ve owned nothing but Macs, iPods, IPads and iPhones, Apple TV, since they came into existence.
Sadly when I buy a new phone next year I’m afraid it’s not going to be an iPhone.
I feel like I’m getting a divorce.
They want too much money for a phone that isn’t in the same class as Android anymore. Androids are now clearly ahead in features and a lot less expensive.
This article lays it out.

But you get a whole year of Apple TV at no charge so that will be like $60 of extra value.

So he cherry pics 5 or 6 different phones with a better feature. What are you going to do, buy one for each day of the week?

I’m no apple fanboy. But, I find it odd that they compare the features of one phone ( iPhone 11) to several other phones.

Want this camera? Phone A is better
Like this feature? Phone B has it
Need this thing? Phone C exceeds that.


So, am I to buy Phones A, B, AND C to get all that iPhone has?

Again, I’m not “supporting “ iPhone. I’m just saying compare one phone to one other phone so I can really judge.

I ditched my iPhone for a galaxy about 3 years ago and I'll never go back.

Second reason is any video that is sent through text looks like it was filmed with a potato when it comes from or to an android due to size compression. Imessage can send and receive flawless videos.


This is something that is very aggravating as I text and send videos to several android users. Its awful

. I was shocked to learn how closed minded apple still is. I haven't had an iPhone since the iPhone 3G.You can't even change your default browser on an iPhone. Everything you click opens in safari


This is why I can't stand Apple products. Everything seems so inflexible and lobotomized. They really are designed for 12-year-old girls.

I’m holding out for the iPhone 12 with 5G and the crypto-currency wallet built in.

Apple products are more secure than android. That’s enough treason for me to stay with apple.

Congrats on learning to think for yourself. No telling how much money you pissed away just to get that little apple logo
