Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

I moved from android to iphone 2 years ago. As soon as this piece of crap dies, I'm moving back to android.

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Heh, welcome back soon!

looking forward to being able to have separate volumes for notifications and ringer again... "#/(%)&#)$%&

[–] Chriswild@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

For me the notifications were the biggest gripe.

Unfortunately that's not a stock Android thing, so weird

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Really? Pixels have had that function for a while now. I always assumed it was stock.

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 months ago

I have a Pixel, notification and ringer are combined

I am not a huge fan of Apple but they will probably be stuck on iOS for a while. Their phones last quite a long time and get updates for very long.

[–] lovesickoyster@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

honestly, the shitty user experience might make me chuck it into the trash before it actually dies.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Haha, that's fair enough.

[–] lovesickoyster@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

i find it absolutely hilarious when iphone fans talk about a polished user experience, it's a joke.

[–] gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com 3 points 8 months ago

no one complains about their phones more than iphone users

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

As does every good phone in that price range.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Updates though?

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This year's top Samsung has 7 years of updates guaranteed.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How was it earlier?

[–] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 months ago

5 years, before that 3 years, before that worse and not even standardized.

welcome back, let's hope Play Integrity has an exploit found in case you bought a Xiaomi or Alcatel or whatever.
