iPhones are actively hostile and materially harmful to poor people
They don't allow you to set data caps! They don't even allow you to see your monthly DATA USAGE
If you've ever wondered about the stories of people being stuck with extreme data overuse charges, it's because a majority of the phones sold and used in the United States explicitly push their users to overuse their data

wtf that's crazy
tbh theres no reason to buy those big stupid phones, you can buy used smartphones for dirt cheap, i got an iphone 8 for 70 bucks. Why would anyone need anything beyond that, i dont know, in fact i never understood why you should ever need more than one phone, ever. they should last a lifetime.
They added the ability to rearrange desktop icons THIS YEAR.
iPhones are such a dogshit product and I genuinely have no fucking clue why there are so many ardent defenders of Apple. Like Apple is so blatant about being a shitty greedy company who make worse products than everyone else and charge more, but somehow people still lick their boots and act like elitists for spending 1000 dollars on something that my 150 buck Chinese phone can do better.
Iβm genuinely curious what $150 phone beats a $1,000 iPhone
Comparing the iPhone to its more available competition in the US (where iPhones dominate) itβs not that much, if at all, more expensive than a similar spec Pixel or Galaxy phone. And the reputations of neither Google nor Samsung are any better than Apple.
I use an iPhone now because I got sick of the volatility of Android. Android is constantly being βrefreshedβ with gimmicks and cosmetic overhauls. New apps are created and sundowned after 2 years. Lots of bugs/quirks that you just learn to work around, like WiFi randomly dropping so you have to reboot once a day. Feels reminiscent of Windows in that way.
Just like with non-Apple phones, you can buy a used iPhone for much cheaper. Yes the current year flagship models will be very expensive, over $1,000. That will also be true for any flagship Android phone or even a Huawei (e.g. the Pura 70 Pro is $1,300)
How tf did apple manage to make "not owning an iphone" an ick for so many people lol
They make android phones use an ugly text color when they text you.
They also genuinely make texting with any other phones extremely difficult. Like I can send videos to people without iphones fine but when I send one to an iphone user it comes through in like 180p.
I find it is a really easy way to sus out suckers, like crypto.
iPhones don't even have a way to cancel an alarm that's coming up in five minutes.
I cancel the upcoming alarm on an iPhone all the time. Idk what the screen is called if itβs lock or whatever but thereβs a button right there.
Might not be recognizing sarcasm though. Spent some time in world to see what itβs about.
Wait, where is the button?
Not sarcasm; I looked at the lock screen (where it is in Android) and the alarm app (where any reasonable person would put it) and couldn't find it.
Either on the Lock Screen or just open your Clock app where you had set the alarm, and toggle it off.
I just tried it and it only for snoozing alarms. I definitley cancel those mfs all the time.
E: itβs timers, I use timers as a snooze one I cancel those from the Lock Screen while still asleep all the time.
It appears close to the finish time, but you can also tap the alarm icon itself and itβll take you right to a cancel button
Itβs on the lock screen, but I think only when the alarm is coming up
Edit: I can only get it to show up there when the alarm has gone off and Iβve snoozed it
No wonder why Communism is when no iPhone
I use that feature basically every morning. My alarm is only a backup for the roughly 3 times a year I oversleep. I hate waking up to an alarm which motivates me to get up before it goes off.
Apple drones will still mock you for not having their shitty products lmao
i'll use a gold apollo pager before i use an iphone
Hell, my Pixel even trickle charges until my earliest alarm to preserve battery life... This is just sad lmao
Yeah, are they genuinely not already doing this kind of stuff already? My Xiaomi does that as well as adaptive charging based on my usage etc.
iOS has adaptive charging. They just don't give charging estimates.
That's a little better, but seems like a weird UI oversight.
Somehow i never connected the trickle charge target with my alarm settings. I was WAY over complicating it in my presumed implementation π€¦ββοΈ
Ironically iPhones have done that for a long while now, but for some reason havenβt had a timer
No timer but has trickle charge
The iPhone has this feature
Apple advertising its Ls
iOS didn't already do this? SERIOUSLY???
Graphene OS pixel stay winning
"Cooking" would be a banned word. It means nothing.
Let them cook
I'm gonna need to see some solid culinary excellence before we start letting everyone cook. A time to charge is not culinary excellence, it's barely fundamentals.
iirc apple computers used to do this but they removed it because it either wasnt very accurate or the accuracy got worse as the battery aged. Maybe the situation is better now.
its probably due to a patent war. they would have liked to do it but didnt want to pay to license the feature.
