The absolute state of Apple

The absolute state of Apple

>When sending an SMS message, the allowed character count drops from 160 to just 70 as soon as an apostrophe is added within the body of the text message. As a result, you could be charged for sending two texts rather than one.

>Apple says this is a known bug affecting its ‘Smart Punctuation’ feature, which is a system that automatically swaps some forms of punctuation with other forms that are more suitable.

>When the feature used, the apostrophe makes the phone send the characters of the text encoded in 16-bit format, rather than the normal seven-bit. This means that a single text can carry fewer characters.

Not a mactoddler, but this is irrelevant: most phone plans include unlimited texting, even prepaid plans. Also, most mactoddlers are using iMessage IM anyway

>Apple users never EVER shill on Sup Forums
>nothing but angry rants constantly as if they do
Come to think of it I never see Apple users shill for their product online. It's some kind of strange virtue signal to fit in by "i hate applel xd"

>2018

This is still a thing?

People still use SMS?

>Appel makes the best ther...

Who the fuck doesn't have unlimited text messaging in 2018?

I do, and people hate me for it...
>ew, green bubble
>just get Facebook

Europeans.
(Which have unlimited data instead)

>people in the US not using whatsapp

Well, non-poorfags just use iMessage.

>muh turd purty FREE msgs
Get that middle school bullshit out of here

>group messaging
>file sharing
>location sharing
>video and audio calls
>all of this for free
>but m-muh sms
I don't get you people

Or Telegram, which is properly cross-platform and has more features.

>apple users never shill on Sup Forums
Fuck yeah they do, they're just incredibly boring and forgettable like most other shillposts.

All of the screeching is mostly just wannabe master baiter newfags like OP who don't know anything about technology and just want attention.

and isn't part of the FB botnet

Or Signal, which is actually secure.

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN

>16-bit format

This triggers me most of all.

Use UTF-8 you imbeciles.

This. Only people I know who use whatsapp are androidfags (poorfags).

Are you blind, new, or just stupid?
rbt.asia/g/search/text/Admit it, you’d buy one if you could afford it./type/op/

Wait.
Whatsapp STILL has no desktop versions?

It does, but they just relay messages thru ur phone for some reason

Whatsapp has a desktop version that only works if your phone is connected to your network

>1 in 1,000 posts of ironic Apple shilling

Perfectly reasonable. Sup Forums of all boards should be even slightly more level headed.

> mutilating your case

> in an anonymous image board

reevaluate your life

>not a mactoddler

I'm not. Macshills can go die in a fire for all I care.

Sure, "ironic" shilling. Look at my ironic posts promoting Apple products every single day, so funny!

Enjoy your lo-fi texts pleb, i'll be using 16 bit 44khz audiophile grade sms technology ™

>SMS
>Paying per text
What year do they think this is?

Not only for attention, for cooling also.
For some reason that was enough to stop it from throttling.

it's like it's really 2003

no wait, I take that back, even in 2003 I had unlimited texts...

Literally this.
>inb4 iToddler
I'm using Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X right now and live in current year.

>it is not a bug, it is a feature!

Thanks Brian.

>charged more
>for texting
It literally costs the same amount of money to the end user to send 1 text as it does a billion texts.

There is only one acceptable means to encode text, and that is UTF-8.

tfw every text message costs 0.07€
its cheaper for me to just call someone and say what i meant to write in the message.

it is if you dont want to waste money every month for shit that you dont need.

Only in a few countries that is the norm, but not in most places of the world.

>reduced character count
>2 messages
What kind of street shitter wrote this?
It DOUBLES the size of the message because of UTF-16,
It doesn't "half" the character count, unless he means the character limit.

>caring about punctuation is being pedant
aye yo y they b pendants when dey can just liek *smacks lips* type like dis lol k? totz no conspiracy here goyim, just hear some rap and 'brace diversity

Isn't that a bug in SMS and like from decades ago? I got that every time I included an accent, suddenly 2 SMS were charged if I was grammatically correct

who even writes text messages like that.. the limit is too low to say anything meaningful anyway

>YOU ARE TEXTING WRONG

>used an apostrophe
stop being so pedantic faggot

I have a hunch there's a correlation between unlimited SMS and not shitting in streets.

it was enough, like double of a tweet or something

I'm just remembering, I don't use SMS anymore, but I do recall it's a very old bug

I hate this feature so much much on OS X. God only knows why they implemented it, probably it was a womans idea.

>be inna Terminal
>writing a shell/python script
>Enter '
>Gets replaced with `

This feature was clearly created by someone who never worked in IT at all.

>us servers
>secure
AIIIIDS

idk but i hate writing text messages because the limit is so small that i have to really think before writing it and use weird words or just type like a retard to not go over the tiny limit. its also cheaper to have something where you pay for usage if you arent using it 24/7 because the monthly fee of just having the sim is higher.

yeah that's true

>tfw all parents always replied with ok

"few"

>charged for sending two texts
whoa is this 2004 again?
who doesnt have unlimited text?

>charged for sending texts

Is this 1999?

>replying to green bubbles

USA.

I don't, that's how I spend maybe 15€ per year on mobile phone bills.
I have unlimited data at home instead and WLAN pretty much everywhere I bother to spend enough time to browse on my phone.

Where do you guys fucking live?
I pay 15 euros a month, free unlimited calls to every single EU country, unlimited sms, and 4G mobile net unlimited in my country. Jesus fuck why do you guys let them fuck you right in the ass.

Sounds to me like they hired a bunch of recent grad UX Artisans who microdose LSD at work and can't manage to get through a single release cycle without a myriad of low hanging fuck ups making it into production.

usa has had unlimited calls, texting, and long distance for years now. The last time I heard of anyone having limited text was well over a decade ago.

Clearly no coders actually use macbooks for anything productive

You probably live somewhere with competition.

redmi 4x owner here, apple buyers still pay for text messages?
>2018

This is irrelevant now because all plans (should) have texting for free. But in 2009 I had this slide out keyboard phone and it had that weird apostrophe character that changed the text size to 70 characters. Solution was to just not use it.

>the apostrophe makes the phone send the characters of the text encoded in 16-bit format, rather than the normal seven-bit.
Firstly, who the FUCK actually uses 7bit ascii over 8bit?
And secondly, don't they fucking use UTF8 or something? What the fuck?

yea but the average usafag pays almost 100 dollars per month for that

>Wanting to be able to encode foreigner runes
8bit ASCII is the only acceptable character encoding.

iPhone owner here. Xiaomi buyers still have Ads in their explorer?
>2018

you're chatting shit pal

ascii is 7bit

Lumia 640 owner here. You guys still dont have ads in your calculator?
>2018

This should have been fixed

Apoploo lol

>mfw have unlimited everything in my slav shithole for 17€ a month

but most people consider that a lot of money to pay monthly for a phone subscription

>Only in a few countries
Literally every first world country apart from USA you mean.

>>Usa
I haven't seen a phone plan that isn't unlimited text in a longass time.

if you can afford the apple phone then you can afford two text messages too.

>mfw I only pay 10€ every 3 months, which is more than enough for calls and texts and grants me a free 20GB data bonus that doesn't expire and stacks
I love capitalism, you know, that thing you Americans codified?

I think Telegram must be my favorite app ever. You can even use it like a small cloud for yourself abd it works flawlessly on desktop and phone.

Which country?

>but most people consider that a lot of money to pay monthly for a phone subscription
It is, I bet 10€ subscription of Internet gives you more time and text if you gonna exclusively use Internet.
