2018

thanks user

Because i don't need a flagship phone, and apple only sells flagship phones.

I wou gladly pay double of what Apple charges to avoid using their proprietary locked-down Babby's First Phone. I like being able to customize the functions of my device and you won't change my mind by calling me fat, autistic, or neckbearded.

There is a simple benchmark to test if a device is shit or not.

Can it run truxton? if it can't run truxton, the device sucks.

So can you run truxton?

LG G6

All the way down to cheaper chink phones

Do you even /spg/?

I love Twilight Sparkle!

ahhh ... planned obsolescence. And apple even initiated it with an update. So ballsy. They must really think their user base are a bunch of mouth breathers.

Report and move on, nothing to see here.

I don't know, i went from an iPhone 7 to Moto G5 Plus and I'm really happy. Picked it up unlocked at Walmart for $75, and it gets twice the battery life of my iPhone 7, and runs just as smoothly. The camera isn't as good, but it was $75 so I wasn't expecting much. Bought it to use as a "smart remote" with kodi, Plex, YouTube, Netflix, etc with the Mac mini i use as an HTPC, but now the iPhone 7 is the remote and the Moto is my daily phone. Stock Android is comfy, and way more customizable plus I can install any damn app I want without all the bullshit of pushing a shady app with cydia impactor. That was the big one for me because I'm sick of only using what Apple says I can use on a phone I paid $800 for.

>Macbook air
He seriously did it with an air? Did he expect anyone to believe that shit? My air is pushing 5 years old and it still runs the most recent version of MacOS flawlessly. I'm actually incredibly impressed at the longevity of their actual computers because I'll get 6 ish hours (streaming video, closer to 9 if just browsing and IRC) of battery life on the original 2013 battery on my 13" air with the brightness at half and keyboard backlight on low. And this is the original battery it shipped with, no replacement. It's legit the best laptop I've ever had in the 20 years I've been using laptops and when I do finally replace it, it'll be sold off toward the cost of a new macbook. I'll never again use their phones after trying a budget Android phone and getting a better experience overall than I had using iPhones since the original first iPhone, but their laptops are a pure joy to use, even at their idiotic price point.

Because of the price desu.
I know, deep inside of me, than iPhones are superior but way too overpriced.

Apple owns everything, from the hardware to the software, and that's why it's way less buggy and more reliable than Android, while Google decided to open it's OS to every shitty China firm.

But I don't like the fact that it's not open-source also. Apple is a shitty company not taking care of it's employees.

Yeah sure user, that chinked up rom with public code doesn't have any exploits, the feds would have told the devs ;-)

That applies for every single phone.

>Implying non-apple PCs don't have same or higher failure rates
With apple, the chances of failure are incredibly low, but in 20 years I've had *maybe* 5 laptops that I didn't need some kind of warranty service or outright exchange. One of them being the only Lenovo I've ever owned, an ideapad, which is currently acting as a low powered Linux server atm. My macbook air has made it nearly 5 years without being serviced *at all*. I was the last of my friends to finally give in and switch because I was the token Linux geek of the group, and no one else in my circle of friends has ever had to have their Mac serviced excepting one and that's because she's a dumb cunt and spilled water all over it.

Feels good.

Macs are fucking trash and have insanely high failure rates. Look at this fucking shit. $1000+ ONLY Macs vs $200-$1000 laptops.
$200 Walmart laptops literally have better reliability than Macs.

I wonder if they would fail less if apple invested in proper cooling for their systems

> >macshit is good
> >as long as you're only going to live for a year
> The absolute state of mactoddlers.
Macbook machines, in my experience, need far less servicing than any other laptop. Mind you, this is purely anecdotal based on 20 years of non-Apple laptops and 30 years of non-Apple desktops both personally and in my circle of RL friends. Their phones are fucking garbage though and fail all the fucking time and anyone using an iPhone, iPad, etc is just a fucking retard.

Apple computers are like having a Linux machine where in exchange for getting locked into just one DE, you get all of the best commercial software running natively. Excellent if you're in the 98% of computer users that aren't freetards. it just seems that the other 2% congregate on Jow Forums

>"Configure" my "device"? What's that?

Google presence on my phone is diminished to the bare minimum.

>you are allowed to opt out of iCloud and turn off what you want
>cant on android
wrong

>can switch off permissions as you want
same as on oreo

>apps can stop themselves from being opened on android without granting them as much access as they ask for

>downloading apps from shit developers that can't run without certain permissions

your fault desu

me too

Because until Librem 5 comes out it's the best smartphone OS out there. iOS barely classifies as a smartphone system.

How will mactoddlers ever recover?

The fact that you are only willing to go half way is pathetic.

>android flagships are just as expensive if not more than an iphone
who cares about flagships
oh wait, you are underage faggot

That won't work.
Get a dumb phone
De-solder the camera and GPS.
Add a hardware switch for the microphone.
Remove battery when you aren't making calls
A guy was arrested for doing this to old blackberries for "gambling and aiding criminals", so you know it works.

Doing your little fixes won't do shit, your riced up ROM won't protect you from glow in the dark agents, or do shit.
And if it's stolen from some nog? Well your android can just have a new OS installed, and you have no way to get it back, tracking it, or getting retribution.
Even base android can't help you with that, as any phone with the ability to install a new OS is fucked.
But with Apple, you would be fine, completely fine, at best you had location services on and "find my iPhone" enabled. At worst your phone will be a useless brick that they can't sell or pawn.
I know I wouldn't depend on an android to protect me, at least Apple wouldn't unlock the phone for them, and the feds don't have access to the source code to prod for exploits, unlike your chink ROM.

>doing all this shit when Librem 5 will be released in a year
It literally doesn't matter since SIM cards are backdoors. You'd also have to remove hardware supporting mobile networks.

>De-solder the camera and GPS.
You do realize most phones DO have a removable camera, right?

>And if it's stolen from some nog? Well your android can just have a new OS installed, and you have no way to get it back, tracking it, or getting retribution.

Is gimmicky and shitty. Until bootloaders come unlocked as a standard it will not be a valid argument. Once you can simply insert an mSD or a flash drive via OTG, boot into recovery/bootloader, and install an OS from the external storage, it will not be a valid argument for android.

Because I bought a waterproof, dropproof 4 inch Android phone with a physical dialer keypad and analog walkie radio for a hundred bucks. The closest thing in an iPhone would be the iPhone SE, but it's not waterproof, not dual sim and can't accept a micro SD card, and still costs $50 more.

The only annoyance is that there isn't a dialer app that doesn't pop up a virtual keypad.

Why not? My android phone has an official bootloader unlock method.

weird apple marketing shill, just random lies, guess that is your target demo.

How the fuck else would you acquire this data pajeet? No company ran by a human being with a brain is going to self-report how many Laptops we're deemed to be defective and it's impossible to test this data on a realistic scale because of how expensive they are. These cost thousands of dollars and nobody is going to buy 1000 of the same Laptop to get substantial data on the failure rates of an individual laptop, from a single brand. Even if you were, 1000 would still be a comparably small sample size to the total amount of laptops sold by any of these brands and would hardly be seriously indicative of their actual performance, rendering this method effectively useless and prohibitively expensive.
So what's the next best option? Self-reporting, you can get data from many people on a mass, have little to no cost to collect said data and it provides a far more representative statistic for the brand. There is no way to fucking do this with "hard actual numbers," that aren't collected by volunteers. Learn statistics.
So once again, go back to your designated shitting street.

The point is it shouldn't be locked in the first place. It should be as easy to swap an OS as it is on a desktop/laptop. Being open source means fuck all if your hardware is a walled garden.

G5+ Is an underrated low cost phone. I get crazy battery life, it's at the point I forget to charge my phone overnight and still good for another day or two. Here's a screenshot of me seeing how long I could go without charging my phone with as little use as possible. I had some phones that couldn't idle a whole day so this surprised me for how little I paid for this phone. Nearly stock android is really nice too.

Two major flaws I have though. Moto really needs to roll out their updates faster and they need to fix/enable camera2api. Their default image processing sucks ass, shame though since the sensor is actually a decent quality but ruined by shitty processing and I'm not willing to go out of my way to unlock bootloader and root just to fix camera2api and remove their garbage image processing.

>Rom flashing
Yes goyim, buy out 800$ smartphone and get two years less of software support and instead get it from a Pajeet. Did I also mention you'll lose most of the features you bought the device for?
>Under/Overclocking
>Needing to under or overclock your phone
Oh no, it's retarded :(
>Homescreen ricing
No seriously, are you just acting retarded?
>UI customization
Fair point, I guess, not that important but I'll concede.
>Free apps
Oh, so this what is it's really about? Being able to take others work for free, typical pajeet.
>Headphone jack
Not all android phones have this but again I'll assume you're referring to one, which has it so I'll give you that.
>Micro SD card slot
I've had a 32 GB phone and now a 64 GB one, I have yet to reach anywhere near the limits of either but again, I don't know your use case so I'll concede.
>Not needing (((iTunes))) for anything.
You don't need iTunes to do anything on the iPhone, quite literally you can delete it and never touch it again, I use Spotify just as I would use iTunes. Shit point.
>Open source
"Android," isn't open source, AOSP is and if you want access to the play store, you'll have to get your device approved by them, doesn't sound too open to me.
>Minimal botnet
Again, not all Android devices come with the ability to unlock the bootloader and even if you can, you're still using a phone with countless fucking sensors, a front-facing camera, and fingerprint reader, spare me the bullshit about "botnets," If you cared about "botnets" you wouldn't have a phone in the first place.
>native file browsing

>Systemwide adblocker

>Good, FREE Jow Forums apps

Finally, you told us the actual reason why you use Android, ain't nothing wrong with being poor.

Apple is a poverty brand.

Great job retard, it's a graph with 0 fucking sources, zero explanation of how the data was collected but you, of course, assume it's "hard numbers, actual warranty claims because it fits your own narrative. Tell me, what's the website who collected this data pajeet, give me a source? Because this means they magically got access to information such as warranty claims from private companies who have an inherent interest in keeping said data secret? They also must have countless millions lying around too to be able to afford large sample size of laptops? Oh, wait, of course, they don't because they likely used the same self-reporting system as did Consumer Reports. But, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, tell me the source for the pic and we'll continue this discussion from there Pajeet.
