The reason for that is that... the 3.5mm jack isn't proprietary!
It allows usage of non-Apple earphones and other shit with iPhones, and that's very bad. Apple's profits are doing fine already, but come on, there's quite a lot of money they aren't making there! Therefore, Apple has found the courage to replace a well-established standard with proprietary technology. We admire it. Er, Apple fanboys admire it. It's complete fucking bullshit. Anyway, iPhone 8 spoilers: * proprietary SIM card format * proprietary screen technology requiring special Apple glasses or eye implants to see screen * proprietary phone network, can only phone people who own an iPhone 8. Apple sues any ISP that tries to offer cross compatibility. Please, do the world a favor. Boycot Apple. They're full of shit. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

I don't know if this person was being sarcastic, but I said
Posted by StapleButter Good one. I don't see any of those being really far off. What proprietary crap did they do already? I'm aware of .flac files, charger ports, the proprietary screws, and iTunes music management. |

Not to mention that Apple's own earphones are anything but comfy.
I liked OS X before they introduced their first step to port Mobile features to the PC, which in their case was the App Store. Since then, they not only kept fucking up OS X (and now macOS), they also started to fuck up their Hardware. I mean, removing the DVD Drive? Removing the ability to Upgrade RAM on an iMac? Force Touch Track Pads? What the fuck?! Now the only thing Macs are good for, is for running Linux on them. I mean, Macs are very popular among Linux distros, so chances that everything works on a Mac is quite high. |

The sad thing about Apple is that they are declining a lot in creativity. It's so bad, it isn't even funny. Yet, Apple still has loyal fans and somehow gets profit.
Something that just pissed me off was that many Apple fans said that the iPhone 7 was waterproof. There's no fully waterproof smartphone yet. There's many smartphones that have high water resistancy. The Sony Xperia Z5 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Active are some phones that have high resistancy to water but not quite waterproof. Just because Apple says its “water resistant,” don't goddamn assume it's waterproof. On another note, Apple can make consumers believe they have the “latest technology,” just by redesigning the same damn thing. Personally, the tactics Apple uses to trick consumers into buying iPhones is genius. They can have a ton of money with those methods. (Personally, I want to know those methods…) I can believe that Apple could go bankrupt in the near future. <Silvreus>I am a random person…
<Silvreus>With a random personality… <Silvreus>With a random life… <Silvreus>How fun. :P |

easy. market your shit as amazing, revolutionary inventions, with hip names. you reinvented videos? call it LivePhotos.
all the idiots will buy into it. make it sleek and cool. consumers will love showing it off to show that they're hip and trendy and rich. the unknown is how many idiots there will be, and how many would be enough to keep Apple afloat. but well, considering that the capitalist system itself is digging its own grave... ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Apple is pretty creative in the ways it can somehow get away with all of its fermented shark swim bladders.

Posted by StapleButter Which will be quite impossible. Consider their fanbase. I asked random people why they liked iPhone, and most of their answers go like this, "Because it's made by Apple and is an iPhone, that's why." But, what the...? That's not even a logical explanation. The fanbase doesn't even know what is going on. Apple probably already embedded proprietary software in their brain forcing them to remain loyal to Apple forever. They can't even reason. Thus, why this is impossible, on the most part. Though people who have never gotten into Apple can boycott them easily. ____________________ MusiMasta - YouTube Channel Currently 374 subs! Help support me by subscribing! Thanks!

True in that, Apple usually sells outdated technology at very higher prices and people don"t even care about that or if they can get the same or even better (for example in computers where it can be a direct comparision) for a lower and more fair price. |

Posted by MusiMasta they're idiots who just like showing off shiny and expensive things. if it weren't for our overprotected system, natural selection would be ensuring they don't survive. it's like, have you ever noticed, how people talk about their phone: * non-iPhone: yeah so I took my [phone/cellphone/etc] and texted her... * iPhone: yeah so I took my iPhone and texted her... you don't see people brag about their Samsung Galaxy or Sony Xperia or whatever. yet, iPhones get the special treatment. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

Nah, everyone I ask just says something along the lines of "BECAUSE SAMSUNGS ARE BAD"
Why does everyone I know call all Android phones "Samsungs"? ____________________ No, not doing SM64DS hacking, just here for the waffles. |

I call Android phones "phones".
P.S. Samsung is an adjective. Have a Samsung day. |

Also, something to note, since the release of Pokémon Go now, at least here, you can literally see tons of elementary school children with their own iPhone 6s and occasionally even a 6s plus that looks like it will fall out of their hands any moment. Damn.
And yeah, the Note 7's defect is gonna be a big toll for Android as well. Samsung is basically the main branch of Android out there so...hopefully they recover. Also really curious to see what happens at the iPhone 7 release...like the response to no earbuds and the other stuff. Be pretty interesting too see how many people have already been transformed into apple sheeps. Edit: Oh, and an iPhone 7 ad on the YouTube homepage. ____________________ MusiMasta - YouTube Channel Currently 374 subs! Help support me by subscribing! Thanks!

When I'm talking about Android phones, I refer them to Android phones.
Simple as that, and no confusion is involved! |
