Iphone

Who else thinks Apple's spell checking and predictive text is worse than useless? And sorry but Siri is fucking useless compared to "ok google" and their mapping program is garbage. I honestly dont get the love for Iphones.

I had to shut off the predictive and auto correct because apparently I use words that it doesn't understand. But of course now it wont capitalize i or put apostrophes in. Apple sucks ass.

Cool. A more expensive paper weight.

Just something else to throw at the tv on a bad Sunday

iPhones suck. But my phone is not an iPhone, and it still does the same stupid shit with auto-correct. It drives me nuts.

 

[RamFan503]

@jrry32 I know what you mean dude but Apple takes it to a new level. I only thought my previous phones were fucked up. Now I realize they were amateurs.

I can't really say because I have never owned an iPhone. I can just say that my new phone's auto-correct is crap. My old phone (just got rid of it after 5 years) had a much better auto-correct.

I own an iPhone, although I think their products are overhyped more than they deserve to be. Like them because of their good battery life and user friendly interface. If I want to go into details about tech, I'll stick to my custom-built desktop

iPhones are amazing pieces of technology. Generally speaking; they "just work" with very little fuss. Although, some may argue they have become more and more finicky the further we get from Steve Jobs obsessive personality leading that company (that's actually more of a compliment than jab).

iPhones also can be counted upon to be upper tier with features and specs. You just can't hardly make a mistake picking your model.

Now all that said; I moved away from iPhone after the iPhone 6. I am personally done chasing the highest specs available at a premium price.

The phone evolution curve, IMO, is flattening. Every new device is slightly better, but rarely revolutionary. Look at the IPhone X. Its not much different from the Samsung Galaxy line. In fact, many of the upgrades in the X were launched in April on the S8.

So like PC's years ago, there are a lot of good choices out there and it's now a matter of "what is important to you".

Also, like PC's, you are starting to see high end performers at better price points.

As example; I am using a Blackberry Keyone. Typed communications are important to me so I wanted the keyboard. I also wanted all day battery life. The phone has good specs, but not the latest generation, at a price point of $550. Might not be as cool as the iPhone X, but it fits what I value.

I've got an IPhone 5s at the moment. I've had IPhones for years mainly because I had all my music in iTunes so was kind of tied to the iPhone. I've got Spotify now though so in June, when my current phone contract expires, I'm going to get an Android phone.

No idea which one. It'll depend on the price at the time so I don't know which one I'm going to go for.

The battery on my current iPhone is crap although I'm maybe not as down on Apple as some. Its mainly a cost thing for me.

I hate my iphone but unfortunately am too invested in apple to change.
We have 4 phones and 3 ipads all on the same itunes account.
Still IMO, nothing beats a good old fashioned blackberry for what I need most

An example. I'm trying to copy an image off the internet. Always a very simple operation with a droid. This POS says how to do it but when you tap and hold, nothing happens. I have no screen protector so that's not the problem. If I do it about a hundred times, I finally get the copy/open/whatever the fuck option and sometimes it works.

And try clicking in the middle of a word to edit it. Not happening.

Really frustrating thing to work with. My wife has had an iPhone for years. She loves hers but her answer is always... oh yeah... that doesn't work on an iPhone so I just don't do that anymore.

 

[~lyser]

iPhones are for fucking idiots...that is why it is the only smartphone I have ever used

Ah jeez. That's the fucking WORST!
I have to put a dent in the middle of my work phone screen in order to get the cursor to show up in the middle of a word.
pile of shit phone.

Warning - f Bombs a plenty in the following fucking text.

Yeah. Oddly it doesn't fucking help when I pound my fucking finger into the fucking screen. Makes me feel a little better but it still doesn't work. I end up deleting the entire fucking word but it's the fucking principle damn it! If I want to change one fucking letter or add a fucking apostrophe I should fucking be able to fucking do it. It would seem that these fucks intentionally made it so you can't. Fuckers!

Yeah, and then there's the whole "can't attach anything to an email, because you have to make an email out of an attachment" thing.
El Giganto pile of shit phone.
