  He’s talking points of failure when it comes to a person interacting with it. At least that’s my take. Imagine you’re reaching for a volume button instead of a volume slider on the screen. You’re going to hit that mofo basically every single time. Whereas with the touch screen you’ve got to look and pay attention. Make sure your finger goes in exactly the same place etc etc.

  I know what version of sync I have yah dingus

  I did read the article. And you’re just proved my point. It says specifically in the article they can do ota updates to sync 3. Doesn’t mention sync 2. And if sync 2 has a cellular antenna, it ran on a 3G which is now dying/ dead. So my car would not be connected. But there is nothing to indicate as far as I can tell that sync 2 has any sort of telemetry to the outside world.

  Except I don’t have sync connect. I have an old sync which as far as I can tell has no telemetry and is completely defunct considering it doesn’t work with anything anymore.

  I could waste my time explaining or you could Google it.

  Sounds to me like you’re talking out your ass. Otherwise you could just explain it instead of telling me to google it. You did “waste your time” by even responding at all.

  Go ahead and explain. Cuz there’s nothing internet connected on my car.

  No it does not. Some models may. But mine does not. Also, as far as I understand you would have to have like a cellular connection or something for your car to phone home anywhere? And not only is that not a service offered on my car? . It would also mean someone has to maintain that device and ensure it’s communicating basically 24/7 . I mean who’s paying for the cell service. Is it running on 3G which is defunct now? If I even had one How can it phone home? I don’t understand.

  Only thing that would make me use an iphone is side loading and the ability to place my icons wherever i want. Its crazy to me that icons have to start in the top left. The hardest place to reach especially as phones have gotten bigger. Sich a dumb restriction.

  They won’t let any third party apps use it so they are basically as bad as imessage.

  Basically all the phones with headphone jacks now have abysmal long-term support. Even the fair phone got rid of the headphone jack so they could sell their bullshit wireless headphones
