After years of being with Apple, I switched to a Z Fold 5...

You really have to be a little slow to keep buying the same iPhones over and over for a decade at a time (I told my wife she's slow as hell). I let my family sucker me with that iPhone 13 shyt and had it for almost 3 years but after using this Z Fold, how on earth can someone begin to argue the value over and iPhone vs. something like this with 3 screens and multitasking, wirelessly charging other devices, circling shyt on the screen to instantly search it, AI image generatation/writing assistants/translators built into the software, plugging into a dock or monitor and having a full blown desktop computer (only needing a mouse and keyboard), etc?

My wife and kids all upgraded to 15/15 Pro and every time they walk past me they have to look at or say something about how nice my phone is. Apple users better wake the fukk up

iPhone is for keeping up with appearances (unless all your technology is Apple). Once you married with kids, none of that matters.

90% of the features people don't use

They all use the camera, phone, messaging apps, social media apps and a few others. That about it.

All that multitasking you're talking about is for "power users". Most people aren't. Over the past decade or so, Android phones have had a tone of bloatware and features that came and went. iOS is simple. Not to mention apps on iOS work better because developers don't have to worry about different hardware specs for different Android devices.

And you're bragging about buying a $1,000 dollar phone that can do the same basic shyt a tone of other devices can do for half the price.

I like both but I've been using Samsung devices for year. It's dope all the integration I have with the Samsung TV in my room.

Idk man. There's a new generation of tech users and the one after this will be even more hands on. Over time shyt like AI image generation will get integrated into the gif searches and other technologies will be more on front Street as well

Even more of a reason iPhone users should have a $50 Android Tracphone, if anything. But what do I know?

keep an eye out on your inner screen. I had a Fold 3 and my inner screen shytted itself. I never dropped it, fukked it up or anything, then one day I got the dread line of death at the crease....then only the right side was functional.

You can cop an Android tablet for under $200 and be more productive. These phone companies are finessing yall like crazy. I use to have an android. The one with the stylus. After creating custom themes, shyt got old. And I never used the stylus after playing with it for the first couple of weeks. iPhone’s simplicity is what makes it popular. You can go from a 7 to a 15 and not have to relearn shyt. Other than external storage, iPhones get the job done. Plus it has an ecosystem. iPad, MacBook, Mac, earbuds, watch. Seamless. And then there’s updates. The rollout isn’t the same for all Android devices so the wait time is inconsistent.

I say do what works for you, the whole phone wars is played out.

Long winded paragraphs & numerous excuses still won't stop Apple iPhone sales from dropping.

Thank you. That was one of the reasons I held out on getting a foldable. All the "5 months later" type reviews are out now and people say how much the hinge and overall durability has improved so I finally bit on it.

 

[Higher Tech]

Im glad you enjoy your phone. I will still enjoy my iPhone.

You are right on most things but the fact that you can go from 7 to 15 over 20 different phones and nothing changes is pretty ridiculous. There is just barely any innovation. Not that there have been leaps and bounds of innovation with android but it's definitely more than what Apple does.

Name one, because I'm on the market.

I like android beta testing features for me. Honestly iPhone is fine. Works great. I’m not missing anything being on iPhone.

No one cares about this multitasking/AI shyt
