Except I’ve experienced the exact opposite. The iPhone users are the ones who complain about android users messing up their iMessage chats while simultaneously being too fucking stupid to realize it’s Apple who is screwing them.
JaymesRS@literature.cafe 1 year ago
Wow, that’s pretty major oppression there. You should seek out a therapist to help you deal with your trauma.

Android User here. Never owned any Apple device.
But they’re fucking good quality. Anyone can see that. So what’s the problem?
I like Android 'cos I like dicking about with it. Some people don’t want to dick about with their phones, they want to do other stuff that could be more interesting.
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I carry 2 phones because I have a government job, so if any work is done on my phone it becomes subject to Open Records requests. If I have to carry 2 phones I might as well have both operating systems.
So my personal phone is Android and my work phone is an iPhone.
I don’t understand how people prefer iPhones. The hardware is nice, but the OS is horrible. They came up with some neat stuff in 2008, but it feels like they haven’t improved much since then. Even informing the greater flexibility of Android - it’s just easier to use. Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.
TheOgreChef@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.
What on earth are you talking about? I’m not going to claim Apple invented it (because they likely stole it from another os like android) but they’ve had the single swipe down control panel on iOS to turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, airplane mode, etc for like a decade+. I have Apple devices, and trust me, there’s plenty to shit on without making stuff up.
Outtatime@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Nailed it. My thoughts exactly
ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Turning off WiFi is as easy as gesturing to the control centre then clicking the WiFi button it’s as easy as android devices where you swipe down from where the notch is and click on the WiFi button
EndlessApollo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
High quality until you drop it once and the entire phone shatters. High quality until your lightning cable breaks. High quality until planned obsolescence renders it unusable. Nah Apple products are pure ass lmao, literally no reason to ever buy one unless it’s got some exclusive artsy software you really like (and even then there’s prob something just as good for windows or Linux)
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think the problems include the fact that an actual apple computer starts at 1000 and going higher than 8GB of RAM and 256G of storage costs you another 1000 because hardware isn’t really modular and storage and ram are a huge tool of market segmentation.
Meanwhile a traditional desktop starts at $7000.
It’s like they have lifted everything but the absolutely cheapest market segments out of reach of virtually any normal folks.
Willer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
going higher than 8GB of RAM and 256G of storage costs you another 1000
These are the things i look at when reviewers talk about apple “taking gaming serious now” and im just like what.
Mr_nutter_butter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Apple has that break the lense on a camera and your phone starts to brick it’s self as it thinks it’s been repaired by someone who’s not apple
natebluehooves@pawb.social 1 year ago
Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.
Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.
Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.
creditCrazy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Idk every apple product I’ve touched always felt pretty thin and flimsy. Don’t even get me started on Mac mice. They’re so cheaply made you don’t get a second mouse button. The Mac books are so fragile you can break them by looking at them wrong. The only time I’ve ever seen a iPhone that doesn’t have a crack in the screen is when they are brand new. Maybe I’m a bit of a farmer for considering rigidity the definition of high quality, but god how do one button mice feel good.
MooseBoys@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I tried Android with the S10 for a little over a year. It felt too clunky and everything I wanted to customize would have required jailbreaking, which feels too much like work for me. I went back to iPhone after that.
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
I fucking hope it is good quality for that price.

I did use to main Linux. Mint prehaps will again once I upgrade my shitty graphics card to something which supports ubuntu based distros better. I tend to agree with you on this point although there are plenty of decent people whom use linux. People whom are always happy to give out a helping hand or are welcoming.

“Apple users” is a bit harsh, the fans can definitely get this culty but it’s not like the functional-but-overpriced hardware is literal shit. Someone else said NFT “investors”, I’d go for fashion people who spend hundreds on a sweatshop-produced t-shirt which just has the logo of the company that’s ripping them off on it (which to be fair does describe some people’s relationship with Apple!)

So what you’re saying is that low level workers are socialised to feel like lesser (even though the pandemic really proved who actually matters in the scheme of the whole job system) and also feel trapped by the design of the employment system, under capitalism and angrily try to take some ground back by having just one nice thing, bought with the feeling of pride, but are actually accidentally buying into the system that oppresses them.

MxM111@kbin.social 1 year ago
Apple user here. Can confirm. My excuse is that Apple knows its shit and I am at the period of my life where just thinking about SUDO gives me allergy. So, as long as I do not have to deal with that shit, I am OK paying for this shit. Hell, I am paying for ChatGPT so that it does internet search for me and summarizes the results for me. My time is more valuable for me than that.
Not suggesting that my way is right way. Many people like to play with that shit, customize it, fine tune. Those are not users for apple ecosystem. To each its own. It is nice to have a choice.
LucidLethargy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m so confused… Do you think android and/or windows users use sudo? That’s a Linux thing… Macs run on an off-shoot of Linux.
Android and iOS are very similar to all “basic” users. Android simply allows super users (ironically this is related to sudo) to use commands if they reeeaaally want to. Although, to be fair, you need an unlocked phone for that.
Normies, are just allowed third party apps like ReVanced that let you skip YouTube ads for free. Do you not like that ability? If so, you can pay. Google loves that. Google owns Android. We’ve done a loop-dee-loop now, I do believe.
MxM111@kbin.social 1 year ago
I admittedly know less about Android today. But I chose iOS when Android was quite bad. With iPhone I am not afraid, for example that if I lose or break it, then I need to spend any significant amount of time to setup new iPhone. Couple clicks and the new phone is in exactly in the same state as the old one. Same apps, same files, everything. Maybe Android become better today, I do not know for sure. But I heard enough of the stories from my friends about difficulties because the new Android phone runs Android of different version than the old phone, so, some programs are missing, some things are different and so on.
With Windows, while it is also becoming better, it is still plagued with some hardware driver bugs, etc. For half a year, for example, my computer would just refuse to go to sleep automatically. I tried everything I could find on internet - no luck. Then one day, it just fixed itself for no reason. The update system also for some reason fails to install some updates. And the sound output constantly switches to monitor speakers which I do not have.
My iMacs - zero issuers. They just work. My iPhones - zero issues. My iPads - zero issues. Single convenient ecosystem. Oh, add Apple Watch there as well.
Grippler@feddit.dk 1 year ago
I’m not a part of the apple ecosystem, but i have the same attitude towards tech these days. I dont want to be spending time debugging and tuning stuff just to get it working. Tech is tools, that shit just needs to work, fuck tinkering with everything just to get it working properly.
LucidLethargy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m so lost here… Have you ever even tried using a brand new Android phone, or Windows computer? Your comment suggests that no, no you have not.
Like, hey, you do you. Mac and iOS are totally fine. But don’t spread nonsense about Apple being easier. It’s not easier in any way. In fact, I genuinely find iOS to be more complicated in recent years.
You do not need to “tune” an android phone or windows computer. Like… I honestly don’t know what that even means.
I own and fix all types of devices, and apple devices are often some of the most problematic. They do NOT “just work”, but you know what that’s from? It’s from Apple’s marketing campaign rolled out years ago by Steve Jobs.
HessiaNerd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I feel the same, but find things getting shittier and shittier. I’m paying more and more for less and less. Then I stumble on an open source project that does all that I want and it’s free.
Bitwarden vs LastPass Joplin vs Evernote A million different foss projects for all the shit Google has shut down…
Sometimes spending a little time setting stuff up, ends up saving a huge hastle migrating away from the commercial project that is going to fail unless they fuck over their users.
Mbourgon@lemmy.world 1 year ago

Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I used Linux at home and work for 15 years - 1998 through 2013 - and finally I was Jesus fucking Christ, I don’t want to spend 5 hours configuring a video card ever again, and bought a MacBook. It’s funny these days seeing people “I USE ARCH BRO” because I know I could but I just don’t get enjoyment out of it these days. Same with phones. I couldn’t give less of a fuck about rooting my phone or running a custom ROM.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Hell, I am paying for ChatGPT so that it does internet search for me and summarizes the results for me
Does ChatGPT even do this? I thought it was trained on a closed data set from 2021. While it can learn new things through conversation, it doesn’t actually search the internet anymore. Right? It’s literally just predictive text on your phone. It’s supposed to make you feel like it’s answering you but it’s all smoke & mirrors.
MxM111@kbin.social 1 year ago
The paid version does that. The data set is expanded to sometime in 2023 and it actually browses internet when needed using bing as search engine. It does lots of other interesting things, such as uses Dall-E to draw images when needed, or uses python and executes the code in background when needed (but you can check it). For example, if you ask a numerical question that requires solution of equations, it will do it in python. An example of such question I recently asked is “at what temperature the value in Kelvin and Fahrenheit is the same?”

Yeah not Apple. They limit you to their ecosystem while Android lets you do literally whatever the fuck you want. Don’t want to pay for an app in the app store? Then don’t. Don’t want to use the default home screen environment? Then change it. I could go on but I mean it’s pretty obvious at this point.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yep. I’ve been an Android girl since the beginning. The only Apple product I ever had was a free iPad my husband’s job gave us because they were pushing Apple products on everyone because that’s how they spy on everyone. Oh but Android spies on us too but at least we have all the benefits you mentioned above.

I am a kind of laptop addict. I sell and purchase laptops every 6 months or so. I’ve tried everything on the Windows side, and have had the most beautiful machines in my possession, but they all had some critical flaw that made me look at my work laptop (Macbook Pro M1) and think… “I get it”
They currently have a monopoly on the best computing experience, that’s why it costs so much. The developer experience is 10 times better than Windows, but it’s doesn’t suffer the lack of software support that Linux does. It has the best battery life BY FAR of any laptop, which is important to people like myself who find themselves working on trains and planes. And the overall build quality and performance is so good that it can be resold 5 years later for 75% of the original price.
SpookySnek@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
This has to be some kind of joke, right? I have an M1 macbook through my job and it is absolutely horrible. For starters, the file system is absolutely horrible and “dumbed down” and requires you to learn special button-combinations to even find files, the UI in general is “form over function” times 100, and ooooh the horror of not having snappable windows. Also the fan is horribly loud and is often at 100% due to the terrible thermals. Sounds like a jet engine.
I’ve had it for over 2 years now and use it daily but it still feels like I have to battle and force it to be able to do what I want. The trackpad is nice though!
erasebegin@lemmy.world 1 year ago
- I have not heard the fans once in over a year of heavy use, I’m starting to doubt they exist. Fan noise is a far more prevalent issue with Windows machines so I’m very curious to know how you’ve managed to convince the fans to spin up at all, let alone at a high volume.
- No window snapping is a glaring omission, but easily resolved with a 3rd party app.
- Fortunately as a programmer I hardly use Finder, but yes it’s not very intuitive.
I could list fifty problems each with Windows, Mac OS and Linux, but am comfortable enough with all of them because I adapt to their weaknesses (the ones that can be adapted to anyways).

The only thing that is shit about iPhones besides the price is ENROLLING THEM IN FUCKING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS. Verizon, answer my fucking requests for auto enrollment. Fuck Apple Configurator 2.
steakmeout@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You’re voluntarily using DEP in ABM, it’s not forced on you by Apple. What you’re complaining about is only tangentially related to Apple and unrelated to this post. Imagine complaining about a thing that keeps you employed.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How is it voluntary? From what I read I need to use DEP and ABM to put apple products into things like an MDM unless the carrier I’m purchasing from approves some sort of auto enrollment form.
