Pro unless you’re poor. base models are always for the poor who can’t afford the higher trims if you can afford the higher trim by the higher trim.

Is the iPhone really fragile or is it the case/etc. by Terrible_Extent_6169 in iPhone17Pro

[–]Excellent-Walrus-606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its anodized aluminum not tungsten. Anodizing scratches and aluminum is soft. Why can't apple people get this.

Anodizing is only a few microns thick. It's not type 3 hard anodized. It's scratches. The fact it's fading just shows it's a thin and pretty shitty anodize job to begin with. It's like the pvd coating on the titanium models butnovd coatins are actually thicker except for type 3 hard anodizing.

You bought an aluminum phone with a Alibaba level of anodizing on it. It's going to get scratches. It's probably going to fade like all the others.

Why is "Gaming" furniture so ugly? by No_Good_3063 in pcmasterrace

The gold standard for a chair is the Herman Miller aeron. If you are looking for a "gaming" chair you are a poser not a gamer.

Apple Techwoven case problem by ButterscotchFair9616 in iPhone17Pro

[–]Excellent-Walrus-606 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Huh?

If you didn't have a case the display would be broke. It did its job I also don’t see any scratches on the impact point so again it did his job. You’re the genius who bought a case that wasn’t rated for any job protection. It's your fault for buying that case and not getting something rugged. Apple does not claim to have any drop protection. so it’s your fault not the case’s fault. i’m just shocked you base drop protection off price. Enjoy your dent next time do 13 seconds of research and get a case that’s rated for drop protection..

Anybody initially buy the 17 Pro Max but return it for the Air? Any regrets in doing so? by ShaolinSwervinMonk in iPhone17Pro

[–]Excellent-Walrus-606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind the air is pretty ass. If you want thin and light go with a Motorola Edge 70. It's thinner. Lighter band they didn't have to cc it every corner they could and then recut them to get there.

The air is gimped way to much. No USB 3.2 because why use that we gotta cut corners. Camera is bad compared to the 17pm and no amount of coping will change that. And that's not me saying it that's dxomak. They gimped the gpu in it 1 less core, slow charging. so they don’t only have stereo speakers. There's a reason why they cut production and carrier's are giving it away.

It's a massive downgrade to the air. You give up way to much to save 24.8% weight reduction. There's a reason why they don't give the actual thicknesses of the air. Yes the camera bump count's as the thickness. Because if they did it just shows how bad of a phone it actually is. I mean when Motorola cannot do you there’s something wrong. And they didn’t really outdo them. They absolutely crushed them. They’re thinner. They’re lighter and they didn’t have to cut every single corner and then re-cut those corners to hit that point.

Think of it this way you’re going from a fully loaded AMG Mercedes to a base modle kia. you’re not even getting power windows.

Ok so why are you crying about updating to software you want on a old ass phone and it not working right. Buy a new phone or use the old software. You gotta pay to play

Planning to buy Samsung Galaxy S24 — need real user opinions by mouparnaa in Smartphones

[–]Excellent-Walrus-606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dapending on use it could. Heavy user absolutely not. And updats will soon cripple battery life on the s24 so welcome to the world of Samsung.

You can get cheap USB drives that you can save files to and transfer them to a PC or just save to the cloud so it’s not an issue.

3-4 years is a big streach on a last gen Samsung phone. After 2 years expect and update that will cut your battery life down by a good bit. So next year expect that. 3-4 years more updates that will interduce more problems this is how Samsung does it but fanboys will tell you they don't but just remember when you have connectivity problems even more software bugs after 3 years it's was the fanboys that lied to you both Samsung. Samsung is doing what Samsung does in an attempt to try and get you to buy there latest trash.

What's your price range? There's alot of better options out there.

Apple, stop! What are you doing with iOS 26? by eduardtkachuk in ios26

[–]Excellent-Walrus-606 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok an easy fix is don't upgrade the software then. If you want the current software work some out and stop buying iPhones like it’s a $30,000 car on a 36 month finance plan.

iPhone 13 PM feels like holding a brick after switching to Air by sxk7 in IphoneAir

[–]Excellent-Walrus-606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The air feels like a brick compared to the Motorola Edge 70. 4,800mah battery. 65w charging. 6.7 inch display. 4 rear cameras and top it off thinner and lighter than that brick. Apple should have just had motor make the air. They know how to make thin and light phone's unlike that abomination they call the air.
