How the iPhone is so popular is beyond me...

another thing about green messages. if I got damn near all my main contacts using imessage, that means I can text them off my macbook ipad, work phone or personal phone.

answering text messages right from your laptop is convenient as hell.

Turn on text forwarding. You can text people who don't have iMessage/iPhones from all your other devices as well.

Or maybe that's what you meant and I'm just reading that wrong

I'll put it like this. I don't have to enter any passwords on my iPhone because all the apps I use integrate with touch id so I can use it to log in. On my Galaxy S7 the only app I can use the fingerprint scanner for is Chase bank. Same apps on both phones too.

It's the little touches like that or the fact that I can use Bluetooth headphones and a smart watch at the same time and not have my audio quality go to shyt.

Better integration with my Bluetooth audio system in my car. Full compatibility with my Solo2 in line remote.

If I'm in the car and using my car audio over Bluetooth and I get out of the car and go into the gym my iPhone hands off the audio to my Bluetooth headphones from the car audio and when I'm leaving the gym it hands it back without me having to do anything. On the Galaxy I can't have 2 Bluetooth devices connected to the phone at the same time because Android drops the audio quality.

The iPhone does the little things so much better than Android. It's a better end user device focused on a simple easy experience.

I'll give you touch I'd and apple. Rememberinv passwords but the second part isn't true, Bluetooth devices automatically connect when near to the phone also my android phone connects to my car speaker for talk and my stereo for sound at the same time.

Second about iPhone resale value true but you're paying more for the device and with android phones getting cheaper you don't need to spend 700 for a s7 anymore since a one plus 3 for 400 functions just as good.

In a couple years apple will be forced to lower the price of the iPhone while increasing storage.

The Bluetooth audio issue isn't consistent across all android devices. When Android wear came out people started noticing it though. Happens on Samsung, LG, and Moto phones. Some people said it happened to them on a Nexus phone and others said no. Thing is I noticed this back with my Galaxy S5 when I had my Fitbit connected to it at the same time. It also doesn't happen when you use Aptx equipment.

This has never been an issue on the iPhone from my experience.

I'm aware of that. Due to how updates are handled, it's a mixed bag of when, if, how, where updates will come to fix those kinds of issues. I still have my Nexus so I'm going to update to see if it is still an issue.

It just isn't a consistent experience across the landscape.

That's been the story for years. They've built up a following to the point where they can still charge premium prices for incremental updates until they put out a low quality device.

That's an issue imposed by the carrier, not necessarily a specific phone issue.

You're asking about the appeal of an iPhone?? the iPhone is one of the most consumer friendly tech out there on the market Aesthetics, simplicity, trendy, clean interface, kid friendly, consolidated customer service, fast, trailblazer in the industry that set the precedent for touch screen smartphones in the first place...

I'm on Droid and probably wouldn't switch back to iPhone though. Android and iPhone barely operate in the same market if you ask me. You don't just switch to Android without having a good reason for it. Android file transfer is far superior without all the bullshyt iTunes middleman sync shenanigans and everything is designed for transferring, storing, and sharing as opposed to just viewing. It handles documents and files in a way iOS can't. It's basically like a mini-computer which is important to someone like me who fukks around with music, photos, downloading, and files a lot. The freedom of being able to download album leaks and mp3 files straight from your phone browser The freedom of wireless wi-fi file transferring with AirDroid The freedom of not having to succumb to wack forced Apple services The freedom of being able to just plug in your Droid and delete and add files from your computer with a couple clicks Not to mention Google runs the world now so the connectivity with Google services is impeccable

Apple's shyt is way sexier though, but I already got a Mac and iPad that I use frequently so I'm not really losing out on anything besides some gully emoji's and easier text convo's

...i didnt know this function was scarce with modern phones...

because people are followers and dumb when it comes to technology. the average person snapchats their spaghetti and tweets on their phone. what do they need all the freedom of android for?

Facts

 

[lamont614]

My Galaxy S6 128GB cost $900 I think when it came out off contract I bought it for $500 off a guy and ended up having to sell if for $300.

I sold my 6 for 5 grand to gamestop

Yep. I can't remember not being able to browse and talk on my phone since going back to AT&T (I've had iPhone, WP8, and Android). Sprint is the WOAT.

I'm laughing at these oddball stories of phones dying months after getting it. My damn Nexus One from 2010 lasted two years and was fluid. The S2 was legit and was fluid. Only thing wrong was not enough storage...basically some IPhone type gay $hit. The S4 was great for a long time but it was time to switch to the Note 4 and that was one of the best ALL TIME phones in history. Blew away the IPhone with ease and won Phone of the Year. As did the Note 5.

Hey..if you want to defend the IPhone because you like it simple? Just say it instead of lying all the time.''

Talking about "Prem feel" and all of that stupid shyt but wasn't the last IPhone bending just by putting it in your pocket? WTF
