What do you think of Apple/iphone fanboys?
I see ppl upgrade their phone yearly then buy expensive accessories for it. $50 on a screen protector, $100 on a case! For phone I can still understand cos it's fixed price, even buy from ah beng shop it's still expensive. But for accessories, a <$5 screen protector and <$5 case will do
And I wonder if they have other Mac products other than a iphone
Apple shareholders really laughing their way to the bank....

It's alright to like certain brands and products but the way they behave it's like Apple is their God who can do no wrong

IPhones are indeed expensive. I use cost divided by years of support as basis assuming all other things are equal
However, Macs are actually cheap cos software support is ard 10 yrs

The worst ipad of all time was the iPad 3. Made "obsolete" by the iPad 4 within a year. Also, the butterfly keyboard and the macbook pro touchbar :s13:

iOS is getting closer to looking like Android with each new update. Meanwhile, Google Android is tightening up and becoming more like iOS. Can't go wrong either way. Both OSes are actually more secure by default than any desktop operating system.

Xiaomi got the china rom nonsense minus away the china rom devices also not much choice left
China rom will cause issue. Other than the compatibility issue After several updates it will make Chinese words the default. Gms default all replace by baidu mi search all these lol

Flagships are overrated in this day and age.
Midrangers are more than enough for most ppl. Couple that with sim only plans... Can save a lot

Yah, Android excluding China and Samsung OSes have fewer options. Google has already encouraged developers to use Google Play integrity for their apps for security reasons. This means that some apps, such as Singpass and MacDonald's, cannot be used on a device running on any non Google-certified Android OS.

How many years ago was that? I nearly bought xiaomi back in 2019 but bought Samsung instead.I think it's better now? What apps not compatible?

Samsung also has preinstalled apps that cannot be uninstalled easily. For moi I prefer the cleaner experience of iOS and Google Pixel's Android.

Dull and mundane is good. The smartphone market more or less is saturated. As I grow older, I want "it just works" and less tinkering. Android still doesn't have a 1:1 backup solution (except if you root your device)
