A thread about cell phones, electronics, or smart devices.

My iPhone was overheating and battery dying constantly. Bought a hopefully non-exploding battery on the internet last week. So far, so good. Still not happy with its longevity but I guess that’s smartphones. I resisted until a couple years ago. At least I’m not afraid to go on OT with it 🤓 And that’s all I have to say on the matter.

Ugh. I hate Apple products.

why is that? i used to be anti-apple until a few years ago (i’m still not a fan of mac) but i now use an iPhone and have an iPad. most of my posts are actually from the iPad or the iPhone (even though i’m posting from the pc right now), and i quite like them. the phone’s battery isn’t nearly as bad as i was led to believe it would be and the phone is definitely smoother than most android pohones.

I’ve never posted from anything other than an Apple product.

Most haven’t even heard of him.

Why do you have to do that? 😦

Sorry you don’t like a big bucket of truth thrown in your face, but I gotta be me.

Thanks for stopping by yhwx.

I didn’t say I would never post on anything other than an Apple product. Just happens to be the case.

I guess that’s why I’m on a forum with a bunch of 40 or 50 somethings.

Dude, enough with the buckets already!

I don’t think this even makes sense in context.

Because Apple sacrifices flexibility for ease-of-use. I don’t claim that Apple is altogether horrible but for me I find that Apple products are overpriced for the brand name, use proprietary peripherals (which are similarly overpriced), have a UI that is lacking in (even moderately) advanced configuration, and force the use of the bloatware that is iTunes.

The two main advantages that Apple has are that the standardization of hardware makes software development easier, and the popularity of the brand makes finding peripherals in local stores easier for a specific device.

well, apple products work really well with other apple products, and since most people around me use them i was sort of pushed onto using their products. and they are much easier and simpler to use for sure.

“forum with a bunch of 40 or 50 somethings” = larger bucket of unwanted truth

That was Frinkbait if I’ve ever seen it.

For the record, I have posted on things other than Apple products.
