>Google’s new phone rang up a 1565 on Geekbench’s single-core test while the iPhone 7 Plus more than doubled that score at3488. The Pixel’s 4103 on the multi-core test was a bit more competitive, but the iPhone registereda 5590. bgr.com/2016/10/21/iphone-7-plus-vs-google-pixel-speed-tests/
Just focusing on the benchmarks, it really is sad how bad the Android flagships get embarrassed. I can vividly remember the "dual core 1GB" meme and then when the Note 7 got blown out by the 6S in speed tests people shut their mouths real quick. Now that Apple adopted a quad core and 3GB they're so far ahead it's unreal honestly.
Lincoln Ross
Someone should do the proportions on this. Android would probably be at 8 cores and 16GB of RAM then maybe that bloated OS could post respectable benchmark scores. I'm hoping Google following Apple's model of controlling hardware and software leads to better performance but they have no experience enveloping processors.
Nathan Phillips
It's more that qualcomms CPUs are steaming piles of shit. Apple has made multiple chips now and before long their own chips will be running the MacBook line.
Luke Nelson
Android is taking the shotgun approach of throwing Android everywhere and gaining market share even if that means that there are millions of shitty cheap Android phones. You can argue that's more important than revenue.
Andrew Barnes
the fucking adoption rate pisses me off more than anything. Now you're forced to get a nexus device or be left in the dark by updates.

Apple built it's reputation on making easy to use products for the common man now they're just milking you for every dime. It's funny to think of some Macfag floating when hr can't even hook his iPhone up to his Mac without a chain of adapters. Macs still have underpowered inadequate cooling fans and iPhones are creeping toward $1000 despite losing features and still being fragile pieces of shit with an ugly design, but hey at least you have fast storage so you can play angry birds even faster! I own an older rMBP but after this I'm getting another business laptop. You get so much more power for your dollar and MacOS is riding off of the glory of the past. They haven't made any real improvements to it since Snow Leopard.

How exactly is having useless ports no one supports and requiring to use tons of adapters "easy to use" in anyway?
Isaiah Miller
Skip to :30. Windows craptops are a joke for real work.
when floppy drives were at their peak, CD drives were already gaining ground as the next high capacity portable storage and USB wasn't far behind that.
I'm talking more recently where apple starts putting on so many unsupported ports and formats and removing blatant features that were commonly supported before
For example, removing USB ports which are used extensively today for USB-C ports that are rarely used at all. Same with thunderbolt ports that are now being dropped by apple in favor of Lightening ports
Removing 3.5mm jacks for audio from the phones and removing HDMI ports from the MBP isn't exactly moving forward, not only are there a huge lack of monitors that support USB-C or thunderbolt on the MBP but you'll immediately need an adapter for anything to use it with
not exactly "easy to use" when your standardized ports are completely missing
Christian Thomas
How many Android flagships have already started using USBC?
If Apple doesn't force these changes on the industry it won't adapt. Same goes for the headphone jack. We are stuck with Bluetooth which in general is shit and for audio is terrible for any kind of reasonable audio fidelity. Yet after all these years development in this area is stagnant. Sure there's plenty of Bluetooth headphones but nothing high end and why would there be when the standard makes high quality useless by design? The future is wireless and Apple is going to triple down soon enough and ditch even the lightning port for wireless charging, leaving 0 ports on the iPhone.
Austin Parker
>How many Android flagships have already started using USBC? The new Macbook was the first IIRC, but it only had one USB-C and no other ports outside of the 3.5mm jack. No regular USB's HDMI or SD card slots.
>if apple doesn't force these changes apple isn't leading the change on anything, they're dropping support for entire swathes of normal standards and aren't even replacing them with usable standards
Even today there are so fucking few thunderbolt devices still compared to USB3.1
There are still today after a year of apple's bullshit so few USB-C devices because apple isn't actually leading the innovation on anything and instead just forcing users to use adapters because their current set up is 100% unusable on their own.
Hell the Thunderbolts on the right side of the new MBP don't even have all the bandwidth that they originally advertised
Jackson Roberts

Dominic Rogers
>How many Android flagships have already started using USBC? None if I recall right, Microusb is still a superior plug because its 100% compatible with the entire line of USB products, last gen USB products, legacy USB products and its so likely that you already have a charger for your product at your convenience.
Its not convenient to use an adapter ever, its more convenient to have backwards compatible things like USB3.1 than invent a whole new proprietary port
Cameron Gutierrez
I thought Android phones used USBC long before Apple did it?
The standard theyre replacing with is wireless. Going back to what I posted earlier, people bitched and moaned that the floppy was gone and Apple replaced it with this unusable "USB" port. Did Apple lead the charge on flash drives? No, but look where we are now

I dont really care about their choice of ports and jacks. I dont even care about the benchmarks that may or may not be synthetic. What I care about is the lack of (hotswapable) batteries, thats basicly it. Less selling of private info would be nice to. Applies equally to both systems. Simon is that you?
Ryder Nelson
Check the sales pajeet. People whine and whine and whine about all the adapters but guess what: iPhone sales and MacBook sales are still through the roof. Nobody cares except autists on Sup Forums.
Angel Myers

This. Apples shit-eating fanboys have reversed the role of the consumer being able to demand standards and features. Manufacturers are taking useful features away and implementing garbage meme features in the name of """innovayshun""". Removable batteries and sd storage being the absolute jewiest changes to date.
Tyler Jenkins

Jaxon Lee
That has nothing to do with removing 3.5mm jacks from phones while having no tangible replacement. The phone didn't even get thinner it actually got thicker than the iphone 6s
Jonathan Jones
>no replacement Oh I don't know, Bluetooth? For fucks sake.
How about actual figure out what you're talking about before posting.
Wyatt Allen
point still stands that it wasn't the 4.5mm jack making it thick with the fact that it didn't get thinner at all
Hudson Fisher
>bluetooth its superior to just have regular plug in headphones, miles easier to use
now all those 3.5mm headphones you used to use are 100% useless without an adapter
now you have to charge your headphones all the time.
This isn't a good replacement at all the reliability sunk in favor of a 3.5mmjackless phone for no reason
Aiden Sullivan
But how many iPhone users will switch to android after the whole Mac Pro/iPhone 7 controversy?
Noah Turner
Did you read anything that was posted in this thread? Thats the whole point. Bluetooth is shit. This move means more competition in in the Bluetooth space and possibly even a new standard that doesn't have the shit compression that Bluetooth does. Is there any reason we haven't had a better wireless audio solution? We have the technology, development has just been stagnant until someone prodded the market.
Joseph Butler
>Literally see you morons > All I see here is an example of a shit-eater being fed shit and calling it genius.
Anthony Myers
Honestly, very very few. And those that do will realize how bad Android is if you're invested in the Apple ecosystem. There are still many many things that Apple's ecosystem does natively that Android needs third party software for and some that it can't replicate at all
Hudson Butler
>We have the technology, development has just been stagnant until someone prodded the market. we actually don't have the technology because the radio bandwidths we currently use are getting pressed for space. Its highly unlikely you'll find a better solution to solve the compression shit, the battery shit is always a problem because energy density of the batteries hasn't improved in years.
Nathan Sanchez
That guy is literally shitting on Apple for abandoning commonly used ports and forcing a market change just like right now.
Dylan Williams
Most companies do one of two things
they introduce new ports while keeping one or two of the old ports OR they adopt a standard that is backwards compatible like USB 3, 2, or 1
apple has done neither of these things, abandoned all legacy support then blamed the customers for not going out and rebuying all their shit or buying more adapters
Kayden Ortiz
Real estate in Apple devices is vital and there's no room for hanging on to legacy ports. Are you suggesting all laptops should be 5 inches thick to accommodate every port and support parallel and FireWire still?
Landon Adams
>Real estate in Apple devices is vital and there's no room for hanging on to legacy ports Are you kidding me? theres 2 USB-C ports that are useless, one of those could have been a USB 3.1 port
one of the 3 fucking thunderbolt ports that are absolutely useless could have been HDMI
and they easily could have fit an SD card slot onto there and that module isn't thick at all and wouldn't have disturbed the thickness of the computer at all
Kayden Edwards
>many many things that Apple's ecosystem does natively that Android needs third party software for and some that it can't replicate at all

yes there is, you can hand off via blue tooth devides. My desk phone will route to my cell phone if I'm not at my desk to answer it.

My fucking god you are stupid.
If I receive a call on my phone and I'm on my MacBook, I can answer the call on my Mac. Android cannot do this.
Your description shows me you have no idea what handoff is or even took the time to look it up. If I have an email open on my phone, an icon shows up in my Mac dock where I can open it and continue where I left off.
>trusting cloud backups
Jacob Gomez
>If I receive a call on my phone and I'm on my MacBook, I can answer the call on my Mac. Android cannot do this. Why would you answer a phone call with your laptop?
I can answer calls on any windows device with skype routing to my android phone so yea my android device can do this.
>what handoff is its not called "handoff" in the big boy world faggot, its called call routing. You can route any call to any device via VOIP or otherwise.

Many iPhone users on Reddit aren't interested in Apple anymore. There either going to look for a android equivalent or just ride out there phones lifestyle. I have an iPhone 5 so when I get a new phone it isn't going to be Apple. People are realizing how much of a prison it is.

>iPhone users earn more >iPhone users are smarter correlation != causation. Also this makes sense since Apple's market share is so small compared to android's, and since android essentially has a monopoly on cheaper devices and pay phones, in addition to having high end models.
>iPhone 7 and iPad Pro display visually indistinguishable from perfect iphone still loses to samsung's 1440p OLED currently.
>App Store revenue 90% higher than Google Play not surprising, android revenue is mostly from ads. Also I don't see this as a huge plus for Apple really, it just means you're spending more money

Elijah Gray
>Thats not at all what handoff is. thats effectively what call routing in general is, routing a call between devices whether it be a phone or computer. Its the same way beepers and pagers worked.
Why would you answer a phone call on your computer? Skype does this but no one uses it.
Also person 2 has more volume and a more stable base to work on, the investments are stronger with that company than with person 1's even if person 1's yields more revenue
Blake Reed
