It's worse than that.

My work upgraded my Windows phone to an iPhone 12. Every single feature I relied on is missing in its.

How bad do you have to be to be worse than a windows phone

TIL Windows phone is still a thing

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

That's just it. It's not. They stopped making them years ago this one fell under if it ain't broke don't fix it and now it broke

Wait, hear me out: Couldn't one, theoretically, replace Windows on Windows Phones with Linux?

[–] TrustingZebra@lemmy.one 3 points 9 months ago

Literally no.

What's next, Amiga vs Atari ST? PS vs Xbox? Fanboyism needs to die.

Remove the keyboard, who followed?

Remove the headphone jack and who followed?

Put a sensor “island” on the phone and who followed?

so youre saying that apple is only revolutionary in bad decisions?

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't really mind the sensor island but yea pretty much

Remember when everyone was freaking out about a pinhole or a notch? Just that, but bigger.

I hate them all, but last time I went to buy a phone I decided that the OnePlus 8's 5G and faster processing was more important than the 7 pro's pop out camera. I made the wrong decision.

This is all true, I don't know why you're downvoted. The big innovations from Apple are all a few years back though. Currently it looks like Apple is less innovativing but copying the stuff Android is doing better. Which is fine I guess, it's not like Android didn't do the same. I don't know why this topic is so polarizing.

Samsung.

I own a Sony Xperia 1 IV with a headphone jack and a finger print sensor on the side.

LOL WUT?

Android was originally a button and keyboard driven mobile OS, when the iPhone was released they scrambled to switch the UI to touch.

When given detail about them – and asked whether he would say that any elements in the latest version of Android, such as the two-line preview of emails in the Gmail app (found in Apple's iPhone email program since 2007), or the "quick response" buttons at the bottom of the email app (almost identical in order and purpose to those in Apple's iPhone email program), or the provision of a shortcut to the camera from the phone's lock screen (first seen in Windows Phone 7 in October 2010 iOS 5 previews in June ), or the extra features added to the Notifications bar in Android – were copying iOS, he responded: "I'm not going to get into this."

Closing in on two decades now

This is from 2011... people are considering more recent events.

[–] snaptastic@beehaw.org 8 points 9 months ago

It’s almost as if it’s a good idea to put good features into phones regardless of where they came from.

[–] legion02@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

The lg Prada was the first smartphone without a keyboard.
