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.

Never been tempted by Apple fashion accessories. There's a lot of good android handsets at a fraction of the cost.

I can't see how apple iphones are worth hundreds of dollars more than their android counter parts. I have a samsung, that does the same stuff as the latest iphones (maybe not some of the latest gimmicks) but still it takes photo's, does internet and it also makes phone calls.

They are nothing more than trending luxury phone for the brainless. Not only it is expensive, majority of people won't even use half the capacity of it's hardware. For UI, it is very inconvinient to use compared to other brands. For accessories, they break too easily.

You can buy much cheaper smartphone on lower spec and brand, and you'd get better experience for your money.

That's not the attitude to have. The purchases you make must be financially viable for yourself. If you can buy a iphone cheaper than a android then buy the iphone and vice versa.

Yes, but a phone to me should also be something I want to use

I've heard stories from friends switching to iPhone from Android and say they did not like it. Along with I disagree with Apple as a company personally
Plus... if I want a cheaper phone, I can just buy a slightly older and/or refurbished Android.

Not an Apple fan, and an Android user here. But I'm pretty sure what you perceive as "horrible" other companies do just as "horrible" things. Corpos are Corpos, they all make equally crappy things to get what they want.

When it comes to brand loyalty, consumers will usually turn a blind eye to bad practices that company is engaging in. But on another note, if you took every horrible things a company does, you will never buy anything again.

That's a valid point, guess it's more of which to you can you endure more. I've also always grown up on an Android and with Windows, and the phone link syncing those two makes life easier if I need to. I don't shame people for using iPhone, but personally I don't anticipate on buying one.

Your totally correct... people in the first world no longer have to worry about life and death situtions like some people do in the 3rd world. We have clean water, food, clothes, money, education, health etc....

So we choice to complain and argue about nonsense such as which gaming platform to purchase games on or how many genders there is etc...

Which I sometimes sit and wonder about, like genuinely I will get annoyed at for example; the internet having issues, and realize that... wait a minute, is this really THAT big of an issue...? There's lots of things I could do, and I still would have food and water, so is complaining about something like that internet really that important.

Problem solving is part of human nature, there will always be problems to solve, mo matter what kind of life you lead or which world you come from.

The people that today are worrying about tech gadget problems today, are doing so because their ancestors had to solve much bigger problems for them, they had to sail unknown seas to find a new place to start, they had to invent farming so they wouldn't have to hunt, they had to come up with ways to build towns and cities so life could be a little better for everyone, step by step, these nations solved problems one by one, so that the newer generations cold solve other problems, like discovering what's out in space, how to turn silicon into computer chips. Yes, problems for these people seem rather mundane, all thanks to great people in the past that solved many issues to get to the point where we are today.

The shortcomings and hardships people face in undeveloped countries are their own, most countries struggle to develop today due to exploitation, corruption, warlords, insurrections, poor education and ultimately, poor problem solving. They have the potential, and I believe they will ultimately overcome their struggles, so their new generation will also have the so called "First world problems."

Most people have grandparents where their problems back then was a lot more complicated and difficult than today's generation. And that's how things must be, that's the right way to progress. No reason to guilty trip people in first world countries for having a "first world problems" their ancestors earned, they fought for it.

You know, that may be the best damn way that's been put, kudos.

That is true though, because I guess it be the same way back then too, building a house but say the "first worlds" back then, something to regulate temperature whereas some other places didn't they might've thought the same thing, and so on.
But you do make a good point, we still continue to problem solve just in other ways, and they seem more mundane because we think, that our problems aren't as bad as others situation (and while that could be true, there's also not much we can do about it, at least as of right this moment.)
