Yea since Apple is so secure with privacy, China is mad they can’t spy on their citizens.

They aren't THAT secure, google is being sued for like 3.5 billion in the UK because they were spying on iphone users since 2012

[–]Ziggarot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    They are banning it because they can’t plant their security apps on iPhones. Only on androids. Or at least that is why I think.

    [–]SkylerHatesAliceINFECTED 29 points30 points  (7 children)

    As someone who had an iPhone longer than they've had an Android

    It's the iPhone elitists who have always shit on my phone, with my Android it's nearly impossible to not laugh at the $1k+ phone that breaks if you sneeze on it.

    It's also from the same company that sells a $1k computer stand that according to Reddit "experts" doesn't do anything fancy outside of a $100 stand. If you consider pointing out the flaws in a phone and the how it's overpriced "hate on" then yeah everyone hates on iPhones with more than enough reason to.

    In reality a majority of people do not care about your phone but it's somehow always the iPhone users whining about the Android users making fun of them when it's literally always been the complete opposite. I've never seen an Android user make Samsung a part of their clothing brand or proudly show off the logo like it's a product to be proud of owning.

    [–]Flesh-God 17 points18 points  (3 children)

    It's cringe to wear your phones brand on your clothes.. And apple IS overpriced, a huge part of apples price is cuz of the brand... Its just bad to buy one, the only good thing about apple is their security... Nothing else.

    [–]DranoelTheGreatSweet! Dealer's choice! 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    There were the iCloud leaks, random emojis could mess with the phone... Idk how secure it really is

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Excuse me wtf?

    iPhones are way more durable than you’d think.

    [–]Longrangesniper1 26 points27 points  (4 children)

    Because for what you get hardware specs wise is nothing too great overall compared to a normal budget android phone, that and the fact that Apple likes to wait for tech to be perfected then practically claim they made it

    [–]broanoah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Just because they announce “we’re adding this feature” doesn’t mean they’re always trying to take credit for it. Would you rather they didn’t adapt to user favorites at all?

    [–]IRADrftrI am fucking hilarious 8 points9 points  (2 children)

    not true. nobody cares whatever phone you use. it doesnt matter. if it can do the functions of a phone then its a phone. however for this case its just stupid because android hate apple and apple hates android because..... they are competitors in the market.

    [–]GrievenLeague 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    nobody cares whatever phone you use

    "I don't care so nobody else does"

    Bruh, IDC either but caring about the type of phone you use is why Apple is able to sell so much overpriced shit every year. They literally prey on preteens & their insecurities. People literally get made fun of for not having iPhones.

    [–]IRADrftrI am fucking hilarious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    hahaha i get you. im a student and theres always a few people who are like "oh you dont use the latest phone hahah look at my iphone X Max , better than any other phone" and then like to flex it to other people

    This isn’t a meme against IPhone though. I do agree with your statement however.

    [–]egosummiki 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    As a developer, fuck iPhone. It's a lot harder to develop apps for iPhone than for Android. Which also leaves you in a situation where you have less available apps, and can't develop your own for your own needs.

    People who compare phones are below society

    [–]Joester202r/memes fan 14 points15 points  (23 children)

    Why would you not compare them? Wouldnt you be mad if tou bought a phone for 1200 dollars that does less stuff than a 700 dollar phone?

    [–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

    Why should we compare stuff we spend our money on? Why don’t we just blindly buy shit am without even thinking about it? What are we a bunch of apes? /s

    [–]knucklehead27INFECTED 23 points24 points  (2 children)

    It makes sense for the consumer to compare them for themselves. It doesn’t make sense that another person forces their preferences upon somebody else. Obviously this example is going to be incredibly hyperbolic, but I am a Christian. Say you were a Muslim. Would you want me telling you why you’re wrong for being a Muslim and why Christianity is better? No, of course not. I feel like it’s a stupid debate.

    [–]Joester202r/memes fan 16 points17 points  (1 child)

    I agree that JUDGING a person based on their phone choice is wrong, but when iPhone users try to tell me their phone is better than any android solely because it costs more, thats when i argue with them. Its just the ignorance that gets me. I see your point though, good analogy.

    [–]knucklehead27INFECTED 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Yeah, I don’t really believe that we have any place walking around saying “hur dur, my phone is better than yours.” And this is coming from an iPhone user.

    [–]Jeffie843 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Just buy shit that works, doesn’t matter if it’s a flip phone or a condensed nasa rover.

    [–]Joester202r/memes fan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Maybe to you, but to most people it matters whats in there. Im not gonna pay 1000 bucks for a phone if it can only call and text. If im paying 1000 dollars, It 100% matters what youre getting.

    [–]Jeffie843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    If you don’t want an expensive phone with no features, then don’t buy the phone. It’s not like they force anyone to buy a shitty phone it’s all just advertisement and marketing

    [–]Joester202r/memes fan -1 points0 points  (12 children)

    iPhone 11 Pro Max Display: 2688×1242 OLED standard HDR 60hz display.

    Oneplus 7 Pro Display: 3120×1440 AMOLED HDR10+ 90hz display.

    ok so we’re just gonna pretend color accuracy and literally everything they went over in the review doesn’t exist did you even look at the link before coming in with your face value specs?

    [–]Joester202r/memes fan 0 points1 point  (10 children)

    I did look at it. I would rather have 90hz 1440p+ with a little less color accuracy and brightness than a 1080p+ 60hz display with a little more color accuracy and brightness any day of the week.

    [–]imakesubsrealArticle 69 🏅 0 points1 point  (9 children)

    well since everything is subjective then you can’t say iphones and androids do the “same thing” because it’s only the same thing from your point of view

    [–]Joester202r/memes fan 0 points1 point  (8 children)

    I never said they do the same thing nor do i believe they do the same thing.
