What do people use IOS for?

A few days ago I was looking tablets and for some reason apple ipad was always put as best choice. My question is: why?.
No, I'm not making this thread to trash apple. I'm pretty sure there are already 2 or 3 threads about that on the catalog. I ask because I feel in need of a second opinion. what do you use ipad or other mobile apple product for?. I personally have always found anoying the way apple makes mobile

What do they have that a windows or android tablet dont, or what is the reason of why is always chosen as best choice for people dedicated at tech reviews?

There's no need for a file manager on iOS now. You can share everything between apps.

>tech reviews

>There's no need for a file manager
>share everything between apps
That sounds like a terrible work-around

i use my ipad to manage my website. Transmit for SFTP, Coda to edit files, and prompt 2 for ssh.

then also games and twitch.

and then also because i can send and receive messages on it since i have an iphone.

and then also because the battery lasts forever.

POO IN LOO

I'd say that's 99% of what 99% of iPad owners do

This. Apple chink garbage is so fucking shit they have to threaten reviewers with blacklisting and no review units if they refuse to publish glowing reviews. And for a reviewer, no early review units means no ad hits and no money.

It actually works pretty well. I had an android phone before and I see no use to have a file manager. If you want you can download a file manager app to store all kind of files you want and opening zip files. Some of them are able to download any video on the internet.

Well shilled Pajeet! 2 rupees have been deposited in your loo!

It's actually not for the apps. A file manager would give the users some sense of control after all we can't have that.

apps store files themselves and ios allows sharing among apps.

>I see no use to have a file manager
I use mainly for copying game saves back and forth from my tablet to my Xperia Play. It's really nice for games that have shit like only allowing three save slots. Also comes in handy for organizing downloaded files and moving media to and from my server

>iToddler bragging about iShit finally getting features android had for years

Same shit year after year.

>I see no use to have a file manager
>you have to install a third party file manager
the fuck dude

>Playing games on a fucking phone

what do you use sd cards for?
also there's iFile and Cydia

lol you fucking manchild

backup mobile save games?

>implying most android phones have a native file manager.

>now

>>No file manager
I use iOS for several different reasons, not having a file browser isn't going to stop anyone.

You can do pretty much anything with iOS without a dedicated browser. iOS uses apps to manage files. Sure it doesnt have the same functionality but I can still do anything I need.

A file manager would be useful if my phone was my only computer, but I dont keep all my files in my phone. Its really far from being a priority.

>implying people save contacts yon SIM card
>implying iOS needs more than 2gb.
2020 breaking news!! Android now runs super smoothly on the new samsung s10 with 1tb ram.

Most do, but we all install third party because built in ones are usually very basic.

I bought it as a replacement PSP. Mine broke and I was going to buy a Go but the Play was half the price. It's nice for emulators, but I mainly play Gem Miner. Actually Gem Miner's the only phone game I really play.

Where did I say anything about backing up mobile save games?

Why is iOS such a fucking joke?

>what do you use sd cards for?
Storing files, much like any other storage medium.

Is dat sum 950XL?

why won't you use your phone's memory or a server?

>needing Internet to view your content

Nah, just a 950. 950 XL is too hugelarge for my manlet hands.

>why won't you use your phone's memory
Lemme just store well over 60 GB data on 29 GB, I'm sure that will work out really nicely.
>or a server?
Because mobile connections are unstable and at best not particularly fast.

where else can you get the best apps the world has to offer?

Literally have my note 4 on torrent duty, web server, app server (custom college program ) and im on tinder and clover at the same time ( split screen). Apple is for fleecing normies who like shiny shiny, nice adverts and who buy into "lifestyle products". Also I couldn't fucking believe how long it takes to charge an iPhone I've had fast charging for 3 years now

not an argument

and if you forgot already.

the "pajeet indian shill 2 rupees" etc meme applies to windows/android

Don't you have a computer??

Where the fuck do you even live
For me Internet never drops below 3G+

I use iOS mainly because it looks good.

Apps look better and consistent with the system UI. Android is a fuckfest in this department.

I like iOS widgets better. Android widgets are simply ugly, inconsistent and waste a lot of space. iOS has a dedicated widget tab, I like that, and you can access widgets from the icons using 3d touch

iOS icons look good and consistent. I used Android for years and tried hundreds of different icon packs but there were always some ugly icons.

The iOS launcher is also much better, I dont like having duplicated icons in a drawer, having all my icons in one layer is lot more efficient and since iOS icons look good that is not a problem.

3d touch features are also awesome, like hardpress on the edge to multi-task. Swipe to return is also 100x better than using a back button.

I can do everything I need on either OS but having used both I simply like iOS better.

Having timely software updates are also a big bonus.

>the best apps the world has to offer

>I use iOS mainly because it looks good.
Stopped reading.

at least he's honest about selling shit.

unlike the bajillion garbageware you see on google store

It's nothing about data speeds, it's that cellular data is metered.

I sure as shit do user. Well I have three, two laptops and a desktop. Desktop is a server for several things but it also runs vnc server on a 1440p screen. My note 4 runs vnc viewer on its 1440p display. You see how comfy this is? My phone has had unlimited data on 4g for the last 2 years too for 20 euro bucks a month. Comfy af

yet you cared enough to reply.

why won't you get unlimited data?

No need to get mad breh, its just my opinion, it doesnt affect you.

Basically, if youre poor and never leave your house (thus the opinion of the rest of society is irrelevant to you) android is the perfect choice

what about Sailfish?

>why transfer or have over 32gb on physical when you can have it on internet!!!
You are right user, I wonder why people don't do that more often. Fuck my 1TB hardrive, I have mothafucking google drive!!!!

>3G+
AKA slow as fucking shit with 100+ ms ping times.

Actually, for me it's about the speeds. I have a 100GB data cap on my phone plan, but if there's one thing I hate it's waiting. Similarly, there's a reason I have a 350 Mbps connection at home, and will be upgrading to 500 Mbps as soon as it's available on my address.
In addition to this, despite never dropping below 4G on my daily commutes, my mobile connection is somewhat flaky, resulting in even my ssh connection to my server lagging like crazy at times. I don't want to even think about streaming music or video on such a connection.

BB is dead m8.

Rich people use Apple now

somewhere in the poverty gap

but gets bonus points for unique snowflakeness.

Why should I pay monthly to access the content I already store locally for free? Since I don't just downloading everything whenever I need it instead of storing it locally just because I have an Internet connection I'm able to easily make 1.5GB/mo work. I actually have to try to run out of data.

BlackBerries are the best.

>being SO poor you think you're not living in poverty if you just manage to scrape up $20/mo for an iToy

lmao

They still have more money than android users

fuck, meant to say h+
it's pretty fast
ping is reasonable (not sure why would you need that for file access0

>it's real

As an iPad owner I can assure you they just werk and they're built like a tank, they simply last forever.

3 years ago I bought the first gen iPad Air, its running the latest iOS with literally no lags. I got a leather case and a screen protector and it feels indestructible.

It's the ultimate bed computer in my opinion, also try finding an Android tablet from 2013 that isn't shitting itself on an old deprecated Android version.

> pic related

There are people SO poor they can't even scrape up 20 usd/month to afford an itoy so they have to settle for an android phone with ios-like launcher.

This.

Only poorfags living in abject poverty would even begin to think some shitty $500 phone is any kind of status symbol.

Even McJob burger flippers can afford to buy 30 of the newest iPhones a year.

POO IN LOO

Why do Androidfags deny that iPhone users are richer than android users though?

When's the last time you saw an android user sleeping out on the street?

pretty simple reason:
User Experience

They made it easy to use, even for the dumbest consumer. This is also why they make iOS so limited, see the "no file manager" as an example, people could get lost in there, creating confusion, bad mood; Apple tries to avoid those "feelings" by taking out such features to keep the phone simple yet useful.

It happens when a product is good.

That doesn't change the fact that Android users are poor compared to iPhone users.

Its just simple facts

>ping is reasonable (not sure why would you need that for file access0
Because that's how long it takes for the server to respond to a request. Frankly, when it comes to streaming media, it makes a bigger difference than download speeds.
I don't want to see a loading circle while waiting for a server to respond to my request for folder contents, and I don't have to because I have a 128 GB microSD card to store my music library on.

>no sd card
connect sdcard adapter
>no file manager
iFile
>*Can only install apps from the official app store (if those are available in your country and not +18 content)
With Cydia you can install any apps

Go poo in your designated shitting and sleeping street poorfag.

there are more android smartphones than toilets in india

>getting mad with facts

why are androidfags so childish?

my grandmother can't into computer but she uses an ipad.
It's a perfect device for the digitally-challenged people.

>SD adapter

Why are you iPajeets so upset? It's not our fault you sleep on a pile of your own shit.

all android phones with sd card capabilities have sd card adapters too but they are buried inside

>but they are buried inside
Exactly

ok kid

>playing games

>second-to-last result

Most Microsoft (possibly Google's too) mobile apps for iOS actually work better than their own platform's version.

fucking kek

If there were any Android devices worth getting excited over, maybe people would camp out for it too.

is that woz?

i don't think anyone would be excited to camp out in front of a best buy tb h

No. The filename says it's a guy named Los Gatos.

you're retarded

>No SD card
Poorfags need this

>No file manager
Don't need one, don't want one, if I wanted to sysadmin my phone I'd buy pleb tier android

>*Can only install apps from the official app store (if those are available in your country and not +18 content)
Move to Best America, don't be an infant

>Great hardware quality tho, but that's the only pro I can think of
Software's great too if you need shit that works instead of an overpriced flaky toy

Apple blacklists people regularly

Have fun being monitored by the NSA while being connected to your power bank all day.

Better UX. Android users don't understand this because they literally have Aspergers and would rather play with their file managers while they green text their parents asking what's for dinner
