>pay $100 more (money that can buy you 3 dinners, which is nothing) - and get 5 years+ of upgrades, always latest software, zero bloat, no connection to botnet ( proof: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI–Apple_encryption_dispute ) , perfect symbiosis between hardware and software, etc. etc.

>Chinese spyware-infused bloated distro of a botnet OS no guaranteed updates, constantly have to flash ROMs just to be up to date, BUT you save $100 yay!
Droidfags unironically pick option #2 and will defend it
I can understand it if you're a Pajeet, but if you're a Westerner with a normal income, it's either stupidity or straight up stinginess
In the meantime, Google has meetings with the Government WEEKLY.

>corporate jews convinced enough people that owning a cheap device makes you a loser neet virgin and you have to try and make people feel bad for responsibly using their money yes goyim, dont save or invest any of your money, just keep buying the next new iphone, heheh
Joseph Brooks

Daniel Gutierrez
Exactly why I'm using neither.
Levi Long
>yes goyim, dont save or invest any of your money, just keep buying the next new iphone, heheh I already invested and saved enough. I'm not young, I have extra money laying around.
You have to understand the world from the PoV of a person who has more than $1000 in his bank account. At your age, you see things differently.
When $10k is nothing to you, you will change, too.
John Bell
So you're neither using Android, nor iOS? you're not using a smartphone?
Jonathan Myers
>no botnet ????
Jaxson Ortiz
Apple added last, under extreme pressure from Govt... thanks for proving my point
Carson Nguyen
Great, you can run your own ISP/data center and provide people network infrastructures. Oh shit, you can’t run a network, so sorry.
Joseph Gray
You fail to understand that having disposable income doesn't mean you buy overpriced shit with it. People tend to learn that before they're 20, you seem mentally stunted
Jonathan Moore
>no botnet >actually in botnet >proving my point ?????
Cooper Sanders
he proved nothing, you little bitch. apple is same as others in terms of privacy, just get over it
Owen Edwards
You seem to not understand I'm already wealthy. How did I arrive to this point? By not knowing how to handle money, you think?
Jordan Butler
>Le privacy meme
Apple would voluntarily give the gov't data if it comes down to it.
A lot of people buy it just because it's trendy.
Smartphones have no good use other than for calling, messaging, and navigation. It sucks for everything else.
Ian Taylor
>apple is NO BOTNET >prove apple is botnet >apple became a botnet ONLY SINCE 2012!!! SEE? I'M RIGHT wat
Joseph Allen
Wealthy people don't waste money, that's why they're wealthy. Maybe you're wealthy in India, but not in the developed world
Chase Stewart
If you're wealthy, why are you proving it with an iPhone?
Andrew Perry
I'm not proving it with an iPhone I'm only saying it makes no sense to save $100 to get Android because of disadvantages such as bloatware and no upgrades
Colton Wood
>such as bloatware and no upgrades If you're retarded enough to use the stock ROM then it's your fault, don't project it on others.
Caleb Brown
Is there anything more cucked than buying something with bloatware on it?
Andrew Lopez
Not him, but... >what is BBOS >what is Windows Mobile
Wyatt Miller
buying something that doesn't have a 3.5mm jack
Jason Rodriguez
>pic related
Matthew Taylor
What a retard. No wonder why you're lost to apples religion like movement. I was yet to witness someone blindly defending apple and yet here it is. I bet people takes advantage of you. You weak piece of shit.
The only problem I have with Droidbeards is when they convince their tech-illiterate friends and family - looking to them for help since they're "good with computers" - to opt for Android phones that they quickly turn into laggy, insecure messes.
It's one thing if you're the kind of nerd who likes tinkering to make his device function. It's another to trick people into making bad choices.
Austin Wright
>This doesn't imply you can't still use it. You non-iPhone fags have Stockholm Syndrome I swear you'd accept ANYTHING just to maintain your contrarianism
just buy an Apple product already, get updates
stop doing this to yourself
Aiden Howard
>lol you're a poorfag Income doesn't mean anything. If two people want a phone so they can call and text, but one of them spends 1000$ and the other spends 100$, who is the retard? Oh a millionaire spent 1000$, knowing he only needed to spend 100$? Probably won't be a millionaire for long.
David Sanders
The fact the s8 added the Bixby button that easily breaks causing the screen to stay on and the clock burns into your screen will never be OK. Fuck Samsung.
Tyler Hernandez
I have 200.000€ saved, own my own house, have a job, salary in the top 5% of my shitty country
Phone is a Redmi 4A. It was 97€ and can't see the point of an iPhone.
Yes I had an iPhone 4, BlackBerry and various high end android phones issued by my employers (current and past) and there is no difference anymore. Just the camera but I use a DSLR anyway
Josiah Ward
What do you expect? Most Android use is in the 3rd (turd) world.
Kevin Lopez
Depends on the person the Iphones are great for tech illiterate people and people who use their phones as fashion statements. There's no justification for spending that much on a phone with that bad of a battery life.
Androids on the other hand can be used for a multitude of purposes depending on the phone. But at the end of the day they are both phones so and no matter what you say your iPhone won't last half the time of my lg v20 with a modified 10900mAh better.
PS I have both the lgv20 and a new iPhone x for work.
Luis Diaz
Why wouldn't you spend some money for a proper smartphone?
Angel Hall
None. I pay $500 for a new Keyone which has an excellent launcher and stock apps and I don't even need to flash ROM.
Adrian Jenkins
>implying I'm using it Holy shit you're retarded
Justin Carter
why are you even bothering to reply to a thread made by a sales rep? all of you are autistic manchildren that jizz yourselves at the fist chance to scream your opinions from the rooftop. this whole fucking board is nothing but sales reps shilling to autistic children, and marketing fags getting data from manchildren.
John Barnes

Benjamin Cook
Well this is still the technology board, about to become Sup Forums - Consumerism, but not quite there yet
Jackson Thompson
tinkering kernels is all my life
David Wright
I have a pajeet 2 and I love it. it's snappy the screen is great and I can go like 4 days without charging it since I'm not glued to my phone 24/7. makes up about 9-10 hours of sot. I don't understand how you could justify spending 700$ more just because muh gimmicks. the only reasonable justification would be to have a great phone camera.
Chase Foster
>post opinion Im posting facts. I have half the catalog filtered and its still not enough. Sup Forums use to be sorta ok, but anymore its just ridiculous.
William Ortiz

Kayden Cook
Just use other imageboards for serious discussions. Nothing wrong with Sup Forums becoming the shithole it currently is. I don't see why would anyone care about this non-decentralized honeypot.
Easton Kelly
they are all too slow for my liking. yea I understand Sup Forums being shit in 2017, but this level of autism is just out of control. I mean the shills dont even hide it anymore and they will still get threads with 1000s of replies
Owen Lee
There is literally like 3 or 4 actual shills here.
The rest are people like me posting bait threads because there’s nothing more entertaining than an upset autist.
Elijah Jones
Bro my lg smartphone cost 60 dollars. I use to to call, text,music, and watch some youtube. Why would buying an iphone improve my experience? What do you think phones are for anyway? But in the future I'm looking to buy an xperia because they're beautiful and future linux support iPhone to me is like the corvette of the car enthusiast world. They're fantastic cars driven by baby boomers and other people who don't really care about cars. Then you have cars with a personality, something that was built to purpose or even just for show, it could be from a variety of manufacturers and it can be completely unique to the owners liking.
and since it will make you feel better but it also comes from truth. I love the way iphones feel. They're stock keyboard is the best for typing imo and it has a professional clean look. I just wanted something I could make my own.
You may forget that this is a tech enthusiast board from time to time, just a reminder of that.
Aaron Cruz
>3 dinners Do you live in fucking Venezuela?
Leo Cox
Oooh snap
Christopher Reed
My g5 plus was $75 bruh. I saved quite a lot more. And after the initial ROM flash, the rest are no different than the ota updates that apple pushes to iPhones
Jeremiah Gutierrez
>they're yep, I'm a retard
Robert Fisher
It wasn't a difference of $100, it was more like $600.
As in I can throw my first Mi Mix 2 in the garbage, buy a second one and still be better off money wise.
Also xiaomi has supported my mi3 for over 5 years. It's on the latest security patch and got upgraded from Android 4.2 to 6.0
William Peterson
>he bought a status fone ahahahahaha...sorry about your micro penis brah.
Nicholas Davis
Reminder to report all commercial spam and astroturfing.
Jesus you are getting cucked hard if you pay that much for food, or you cant cook and are a fatass
John Rivera
I'd rather have the Xiaomi botnet any day of the week.
Mason Taylor
Well, I'm certainly not buying an iPhone.
Grayson Cruz
You aren't wrong, but until Sup Forums has flags, pajeets and chinks will spam this forum with Apple hate.
Jaxson Barnes
>Latest patch >Android 6.0 Imagine being this much of a delusional droidfag
Leo Morris
> 10900mAh better. If I want my iPhone to last longer I just carry an external battery, no need to lug a brick everywhere I go.
Sebastian Taylor
Security patch level. Sounds like you don't know how Android works. You can have a phone on 4.4 with the latest security patch level.
Adam Powell

Billions of iPhones sold, many charged by chinkshit chargers, shit happens. What you are doing is the very definition of shilling, just spamming a list of articles, most of them likely clickbait.
Austin Taylor
What I'm learning here, is that when an iPhone fails, it's actually news.
Hudson Bell
>iPhone majority in Japan well shit, guess I have to switch now
Dylan King
here's why every apple user is a fucking retard: >sees apple ads in TV about how user friendly macs are ("computers for the rest of us", aka for idiots) >friends recommend apple products because they are apple users themselves >"minimalistic" design appeals to the retard, he can't predict that the materials used are designed to be so flimsy to break, also ignores how other products are more ergonomic to use since those aren't just slabs of aluminium >compares $2000 applel product to the only other laptops he's ever used: $300 walmart trash and is amazed how ""premium"" apple is >begins to use mac OS and since it's a bit more user friendly he believes it's the greatest thing ever >now stuck in the apple ecosystem, has to buy a new model every 3 years because some of the hardware broke (planned obsolescence) >likely a dumb poorfag so he has to take a loan just to buy the fucking computers >even recommends apple to friends and tries to justify his position with unrealistic claims ("muh special functions only apple has", "I have a higher status in society if people see my computer", "it just werks", "muh special application NEEDS mac OS")
>worst of all, he doesn't even notice how much he has been cucked
tl;dr macfags are fucking retarded
Wyatt Powell
Samsung are also Chinks though since they're Korean.... Aren't all Asians chinks?
Eli Howard
This is some high-powered projection. My 6 year old Macbook Pro still looks as good as new and received the latest OS update. Enjoy your botnet.
Xavier Peterson
That's a pretty racist comment to make. I know apple is paying you to spam Sup Forums with apple shill threads but don't you guys at least have a code of conduct?
Carter White
Koreans are gooks (probably worse than chinks desu).
Connor Thomas
You dun goofed user, I caught you red handed ;^).
James Morales
how so? I'm fine with my apple laptops, I have multiple given to me by my work and they make great POSIX-compliant machines.
Elijah Perry
Fixed.
Jordan Murphy
Since iPhones are sold with official chargers, this just proves that Apple quality is shit because their chargers break so easily.
Lucas Nelson
If my phone was my only computing device like in an African or Indian country I would care but it's not. I want my phone to have the best camera and not be a botnet.
