Was gifted an iPhone 13, been a lifelong android user. Hate to admit how much I love my iPhone. Hate not having my 512gb microSD card full of music but the multi day battery life makes up for it.

I don’t know the reason why you are using MacOS and iOS but you shouldn’t

I agree partly with your point of view but a iPhone is still a phone that you cannot really tweak and flash and new rom for example

Most people don’t care about that even a little bit. Back in the day I used to use various custom roms on my android devices, it was awesome. But that was then, I have a job and family now and I can’t just reset my phone on a whim because there’s some cool UI tweak in a new rom. Plus, most of the stuff that made custom roms worthwhile has been integrated into the OS nowadays, so the value add is significantly diminished.

I don’t talk about the ui focused rom, but on the private one. Stock iOS and stock android are the same shit, the only reason to change is to use a “degoogled” ROM and iOS won’t let you do that easily

Totally agree. At this point my phone is more of an appliance than a computer. I just need it to do what it is supposed to do and that’s it. I don’t even put games on the phone anymore and am really cognizant of the apps I use.
Heck I even remover Uber and lift apps if I’m not going to be using them for a while.
Mountain_Mike_420@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
I used to think that way too. I hated having all the apps on the main screen and the lack of widgets. Nowadays iOS is better and has lets you customize the main screen a lot more. Most iOS users still have all this apps on the main screen but it’s not a necessity like it used to be.

Are you saying Android phones can’t have multi day battery? Screenshot of the battery usage of my 3 year old POCO phone…
Mountain_Mike_420@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Not at all. But also just wasn’t my experience. My last phone was the lg g9 and had horrid battery. I’ve seen the poco phone before. If I remember doesn’t it have a massive 5000mah battery?

Yup! 5160mAh battery (and 3.5" jack 😉)

Most professional programmers, graphic artist, and designers I met use MacOS.

Most professional programmers I meet use Linux. A few even scrap MacOS out to install Linux on them.

Sounds like you haven’t met very many professional programmers then.

Professional developer.
Literally have tux tattooed on my chest.
I write software that runs on enterprise Linux distributions (RHEL and its babies).
I will only purchase a MBP to develop on right now, I do not load Linux on it.
I love linux and for anything other than my primary dev box I run it there, but MacOs being Unix AND having the creature comforts AND the best desktop experience keeps me here.
I miss i3 BUT am not enough
