You might as well use that pretty $150 for higher-end gaming headphones or a gaming keyboard.

Too bad it ain't compatible with Apple's stuff because courage.

Ok, I need to unleash my anger before I start hammering iPhones. So let's go on a rant.

iPhones suck. Why? Lots of reasons to back off this otherwise shitty claim.

1. Design - first impressions. The design is flat-out boring. They have changed literally absolutely nothing since the first iPhone. Why would I buy something that looks the same on first impression? Also, let's go on. Imma be a critical person and not an apple sheep. So, they really do know how to make your hands uncomfortable. Not everyone has hugeass hands. Yeah, so there's the lil and mini shit for you too. But guess what? They found out they could make more money by selling the iPhone 7 Plus! So they decided to stack more features into it, like the dual camera, whereas the iPhone 7 just gets completely excluded and forgotten in place of greediness. Moving on to more aspects of the design that are shit. Look at those damn bezels on the sides of the phone. Could you at least, give it a haircut? That's another reason why it feels terrible in your hand. In comparison, a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (5.5 in screen) feels almost the same as an iPhone 7 (4.7 in screen) and feels so much more comfortable because they actually put in effort to designing the curves and whatnot (I also have rants about their design but it's so much nicer I don't feel like hurting their feelings). Oh yeah, I guess they really wanted people with tiny hands to get the SE, too, right? Welp, it's just shit. I mean, at least I can't functon with such a tiny shit screen. You tap stuff in the wrong place, especially when typing, you can't see stuff clearly, and guess what, your friendly resolution is less than even qualifiable at HD. Did you hear that? Not qualifiable. I know it's supposed Retina Display marketing bullcrap, but seriously, I think most people stare at their phones closer than 12 inches to their eyes and thus can see damn pixels. Same low res, barely 720p on the iPhone 7. Let's move on again. The thinness. They really want to make it look uber cool and shit, but why don't they then put some actual effort into the design itself? Cutting off 3 millimeters is not cool. The funniest thing I heard is that "oh, the iPhone 10 could probably be used as a knife and such". Yes, that thin, plus, it's made out of metal, so why not? Also, I think everyone, or anyone with common sense, uses a phone case. Some time, you WILL drop your phone and it may be damaged, if you think about it. So you protect it with a phone case. So, like, what's the point then, Apple? Because I'm pretty sure cases make your phone bulkier, right? Also it's actually harder to hold thin shit. Another reason why it hurts your hand so much when holding it.

2. Battery - Haha. Always nonreplacable (well you can hack it and shit but it's hard and most give up). Also please stop influencing Android to do that too. At least LG's been good and decided to keep this feature going. But you on the other hand, trying to remove the good shit and narrow the options down. Also, have you noticed their sneaky moves? Look at the specs. The battery size is smaller in the 6s than the 6. Same can be applied to the Plus variant. So...why? I'm just going to say that it's because they want your battery to die quicker and so you can buy a new iPhone from there so they maximize more profits. Yes, their battery life supposedly improves a bit for each generation (and I can't deny it) but if they kept the battery the same size or made it bigger perhaps, the improvement would be greater. But no, they don't take advantage of that to make a better product for the customer, they try to take advantage of your money.

3. Haha. Trying to close off access to everything. No file management system. This can mean a variety of things, of course. For example, if you want to play/emulate retro Mario games on your phone, open a MIDI file in Synthesia, install apps that aren't on the App Store, and play Undertale...well...you can't. It's just sad that they do this. Though they have a reason, and that's because they don't want hackers, most likely.

4. You can apply all this to customization. Android just can do...so much.

5. Oh. Storage. Good luck with that. They force you to pay $100 to up your storage by 64 GB, at least now it is 128 GB, but it still costs a lot. Another way to maximize profits you can't put in a SD card that you can get for a much cheaper price.

6. No headphone jack. Forcing you to listen to music via wireless, as explained before in this thread...

7. I run out of reasons, but the 7th reason is that the iPhone just plain sucks. On the other hand, MacBooks are actually pretty good, some with their tablets even (compared to shitty Android ones).

I remember how nice my iPod touch felt in my hand. Dunno why they can't get the iPhones right.

Welp, iPods are small and iPhones are just enlarged versions of it, but just as thin so it feels like some rigid piece of metal in your hand. I mean, they could easily add a curve in the back for a more natural hold like, for example, in the G4 or Nexus 6.

I also still remember when Apple sued Samsung for using a rectangular shape for their phone. Plain bullshit laws. Like Apple actually owns the concept of a rectangle.

I don't quite understand the push to slim. I do think it's cool to have something paper thin that holds a hot lot of technology, but that kind of thing is a novelty. There is only so much thin you can go before it becomes worthless and not very noticeable.

So you can't just hook up your iPhone to a computer like any sane phone and then move videos and photos and whatever however you please? Is this like some convoluted system like iTunes and iPods, or can you not actually do this? I don't even use phones without a grip thingy around them, so you're right that the whole shaving crap off is pretty pointless and frivolous.

How durable are iPhone screens? I see screens people hold that are damaged or just phone totaled, but I couldn't tell if they were iPhones or Androids or LG or Nokia crap.

They can discourage hackers, but they can't stop them. I guess increased security might be nice, but it doesn't justify all the other stuff. I think it's been said that Apple stuff having "better security" is a half-truth kind of claim, so there's also that.

But.... COURAGE and muh adapterz. That justifies removing useful features! Why not remove EVERY single nonproprietary slot and create flipping adapters for all of them? Why not just make all common formats like .wav and .mp4 not recognizable for Apple products, but offer a completely FREE converter to Apple Music Format and Apple Video Format. No one's forced to use it and it's free, so it's completely fine!

Me, I use an Android because my family (maybe except my mom, but she's not the one buying the phones) is allergic to Apple.

or yet better, push the proprietarism as far as requiring proprietary human body enhancement, like special glasses or eye implants to see the iPhone screen

shit, I'm giving them ideas


as for iPhone screens... it's like smartphone screens in general. those are a fucking mystery.

like, the glass on my phone got a scratch somehow, no idea how. it's strong as fuck. I even tried to scratch it with a key and that did nothing.

the saddest part of it all is that the iphone 7 will not bomb like it deserves because people are idiots and eat that stuff up like candy

Doesn't Apple exploit prisoners? Come on, I'm sure they do. They're the fucking pinnacle of capitalism.


Either way, the foundations they rest on are cracking. The same foundation they all rest on. No amount of idiotic fanboys will help them.

Sweat-shop laborers are the closest thing I know that Apple exploits to prisoners. Hell, they could probably be considered prisoners of capitalism in a metaphorical sense.

Who knows?


What we're seeing is the tip of the iceberg. When you only care about profits, anything is good.

If you're a Pokémon GO player, and you've just bought an iPhone 7, be aware of the Copyright mark at the bottom-right most corner of your screen:

Also, ditching the headphone jack apparently doesn't stop at iPhones only, future MacBook Pros will suffer also:

phun.


also, why not also dump USB? Apple gotta make their own proprietary interface too!

My god, I actually liked MacBooks and I actually used them for a while. But no headphone jack on those? Like, wtf? Apparently Apple hates music as the audio quality of wireless music is just shit. Once everything becomes wireless well, they can change you for all the components and of course, make money from that. People are becoming stupid. We need to find ways to actually improve our technology, not fucking do what Apple is doing. I swear, if Apple was an apple, I'd eat them up.

For a split second, I thought future models on other companies' phones will be ditching it.

RIP gaming on mac... if that's even a thing.

Well, I'm pretty sure derpo Android companies will also do the same thing. You see, since Apple makes the most revenue and has the most customers, other companies look up to them. Only smart companies like LG can stick to the old better ways. Even Samsung has given in on the replaceable battery notion, following Apple, for example.

You know, the only reason you'll see me using wireless headphones is that my wires around the base of the port tend to crap itself over due to wear and tear, eventually leading to sound through only one earbud. I think going wireless will eliminate that problem.

Might come with its own problems, like batteries, connection quality, losing your earbuds / headphones.

I love how virtually nothing is compatible with Mac. People ask for help all the time on how-tos on Macs because a lot of programs just don't work on Mac.

MusiMasta
Posted on 09-17-16 09:04 PM Link | #77550
Yes, everything has their positives and negatives. But why not instead eliminate more of the negatives by offering more options, you see?

Also, yep, not a lot of people write programs are written for Mac or even work on Mac, you have to go through the extra loophole of a VM just to get most shit to work.

I'm just laughing so hard right now. Anyone notice how Apple disabled comments on their iPhone 7 Promotion video now? They're just cowards who want to hide the so called "cancer" by actual intellectual people. Oh well.
