I regret getting an Iphone.

[Azami]

I've been using the Iphone 14 for like 3 months or so before the the 15 came out and I regret getting this phone so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ much. There are certain things about the iphone that is missing compared to my old samsung galaxy s20 and it surprises me how many people like the iphone.

Like for example, If I want to get rid of any apps running in the background, I have to INDIVIDUALLY remove every single one of them. Whereas the samsung galaxy phones you can get rid of all the apps with a single button. Another problem is that it can't play WEBM videos. The ♥♥♥♥. I have to use VLC just to play the WEBM videos. Also, the fact that I can't easily make a ringtone from an audio file offends me. I have to use another app called GARAGEBAND then I have to CONVERT IT to a different file type and to make things worse.... it compresses the audio.

The only good things about the Iphone is that it has it's own screen recording software and since most people use the iphone, it's easier to share things. Mainly airdrop.

I should have gotten the newest samsung galaxy phone. Iphone is literally for people with 2 brain cells because it's supposed to be made easy for people.

I was thinking about getting an iPhone next year because I was fed up with Google and Android ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

And I've been an Android user since 2012

I really dont think you should get an iphone. I've used 3 android phones over the years (HTC Vive, S15, S20.) I enjoyed android but i guess peer pressure from friends (even my own family..) made me switched to iphone and i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ regret it. Not sure what type of BS you talking about with google and android but I think im willing to have that over apple.

I too had suffered peer pressure, and now that I am working in an environment where I talk to customers directly over the phone with Property Management and stuff, I often get asked to hop on a Facetime call to go through the stuff that has to be done over a video call, it's kinda awkward having to explain everyone I don't have an iPhone so I can't facetime, the response I get all the time is a confused and mockingly "Why? That's weird! Just get an iPhone!"

You can just tell them that you don't want an iPhone. If you haven't been informed that your need it before they hire you, you can tell them that too. Ask them if they're going to pay for your iPhone. You have to learn to defend your position.

For me it's not so much a big deal, and neither is for them, I just tell them I got an android so no Facetime and it works out just fine. It's only a bit annoying when they ask me to "Facetime so we can go through the list of things."

Like I said, I've been using Android for well over 12 years now, to the point I'm getting kinda sick of it. Maybe an iPhone would be a breath of fresh air, but the things you pointed out, kinda sucks.

I have no brand loyalty, I'm a grown ass man, I hate these big brands all the same, but don't deny I need their products in my life at this point, no loyalty, literally none. The only reason I stuck with Android and Samsung phones is because I fear transitioning to another ecosystem like the iOS, having to cancel subscriptions and having to re-sub, re-buy apps, re-adjust to OS and UI etc etc, maybe all the effort could be worth it, maybe not, but I saw your thread, on the perspective of someone that moved from Android to iPhone and regretted it, it caught my interest, an now I'm starting to second guess myself.

They're called cell phones because they're used to communicate with your cells. Not due to being like cells in a grid, or some corpuscular and mobile self contained unit.

iPhones are for people who are okay with needing help to do banking in 2026. To book a flight, they have to ask a favor from someone who has pity on their disabled brain.

Listen to me well, you sad Apple product users. After using those pathetic products for seven to ten years, your brain will be so damaged that you will not even be able to cope in the world. No exaggeration, you will literally be dubbed "Apple trash" in the future (AT-ST from early Star Wars).

You will have 300% more anxiety, 2000% higher suicide rates, no other person will ever be able to stand you, and you will develop mental illnesses so hard that many nations will think to genocide you... one way or another.


You people are just in need of help.

Think about why ? really think about why.

I hope I can help even one of you. I believe in Karma.

[Merci]

oh look its you.

I've never had an iPhone because I don't have the money for one, but also it is not an aspiration either. I'm very happy with my Infinix phone, it has useful things like an audio socket.

That peer pressure will get you every time until you are strong willed. I have mates who wanted me to do this or do that and im like 'No' it doesn't benefit me in the short, med or long term. You fall out for short time but it's we men enough to understand.

I had thoughts if I should switch back to Apple just for the 14, My android seems like getting bad rep from people like green bubbles in example plus features I don't have that are popular in use.

[Grimsdottir]

I help my boss at work with his iphone. Sure they're slick in their own ways.. but ♥♥♥♥.. the quality of life features creep up on you the more you use one.

I swear Apple has an aversion to putting in 'select all' in most of their apps. Yes I love close 400 tabs individually on my mother's phone. Or lets that that easy to press home circle button... and turn that ♥♥♥♥♥ into a black line that works half the time. Also lets make our images a goofy format. Or the lack of working scroll bars. I don't want to play pixel clicker, just stop hiding the scroll features you pricks. The gallary bar is a joke.

The main difference between iphones and samsungs now in my eyes. Samsung lets you do things in 3 presses or less. Apple loves to parade you around their UI.
And have you guess what half their icons mean.

The Iphone plays MP3 files fine from OneDrive. :p

In general, I think smartphones are overrated and not conducive to private life. The PC is the measure of all things.

i am pretty sure every single device is like that, furthermore "cyberattacks" is just a cover since most spyware is builtin, ie you will get hacked regardless of settings, your activity or if you just made a fresh install, its part of os.

Apple has a better App Support though. When I switched from iOS to Android, I realized that older apps on the Google Play store aren't supported on Newer Android devices. You can't download an Android 10 or below app on Google Play on a Android 13 device or so. You have to search for an apk and which most of the time, it works just fine, versus Apple you can just install it directly from the AppStore without all the hassle.

Dell and Apple? never gonna touch their proprietary rubbish, they can sling their hooks.
