nah mate. Would describe me as an enthusiast but still think that Apple shits the bed pretty often, is charging way too much and could do a lot better in hardware and software.
So as already mentioned, Apple's biggest enthusiasts are also its biggest critics.
exactly, I'm not an apple enthusiast so I literally don't care or even know enough to troll.
that's actually a good point.
My wife recently started using an iPhone mini because she likes the size and on android there is nothing in that area, but she sometimes criticizes things that really make me believe she's trolling me.
But then I realize that she's just used to a, at least for her, better function or interaction done in her old android phone. And if she explains it to me I actually have to agree and wonder why apple's solution is so strange.
What kinds of thing, as a matter of interest
Homescreen customization, volume controls, easy accessible settings, how to get rid of notifications and it's stacking, the weather app, the whole keyboard and spell checker, which is really just awful on iOS and lot of other smaller things.
Thanks for a good answer. My opinion of the weather app is it’s pretty awesome, however
Does it show you the actual weather, because here in Germany it's wrong most of the time.
Interesting. I’ve used it in UK, Australia and France and have found it by far the most accurate compared with BBC Weather or the Met Office app. If I’m camping and it tells me it’s going to rain in 10 minutes it’s worth listening to
Nah here in Germany it's awful.
Being unable to clear app data is a major pain daily. Requires uninstalling/reinstalling.
True. On the plus side, at least you can delete apps.
Unless it's one you can't, looking at you iCloud.
I think I’d argue that the iCloud app is an OS component, but yes I understand that’s debatable
But people like you aren’t the ones making the “Android had this years ago” posts. Those are the problem. Nothing wrong with real criticism, keep it coming, but I am tired of that same comment without any substance.
block or ignore them or make the mods aware of low quality posts, maybe we need some adjustments in the rules. I personally am not bothered by them but everybody is different...
You are right, but instead of blocking like half the user base I just unsubbed. I hope the mods will look in to this, it seems like a lot of people are bothered with this. Let the trolls and fanboys have this sub, there are better ways to follow tech news.
ok 👋
