A lot of these are features Android users have had for years but I guess some of the new ones are good.
I own Samsung Note 9 now (my previous phones were: HTC Touch BlackStone, Samsung Galaxy Note 1, Samsung Galaxy Note 3) |

crApple so wants to be Android. it copies everything Android does.
crApple have never had an original thought in their heads.
Siri existed as an app until crApple brought the company.
Everything GUI was on Android first.
crApple pay is just google pay with a screwed up NFC payment system.
Samsung Pay, Google Pay, Any other Android NFC payment system is free. crApple Pay they take a percentage of the purchase so its not free to use crApple pay. Typical crApple. Making money off something that should be free. Every other rival is free not them.
Everything crApple does for IOS is a cut down, locked up version Android had many years before crApple screwed it up.
Name 1 thing crApple have done originally? Do some research before answering and find the truth first. Most likely you will find crApple DIDN'T do it first, they most likely copied it from Android or brought the company that did it originally.
Think about it. Not even the iphone 1 was original. I had a iMate JasJam before I wasted my money on the original iPhone and that JasJam was better. I only used the iPhone for about 3 months before going back.
The JasJam was running Windows phone 5 and had a touch screen and a pen (Just like the Note 9 I use now)
It did a lot more than the iPhone could. It could play videos, record videos, MMS, and all the features the iphone couldn't do the older jasjam could and did do better.
crapple iphone is a copy of other devices and software. its not original. crApple LIE to you and they steal and cheat you too.
You can get an android phone for $200 that does more and actually better than the latest iphone which is $2000. Proof crApple cheat and rip you off.
Do your own research and you will see how bad they really are. I know first hand, I have the devices (Still have) so I know what they did and how bad they really are.
I will never buy ANY crApple device again as its an inferior Android clone thats locked down so tight it cant do 20% of what an Android device 20% of its cost can do. |

Had android for 20 years, lasted about 1 1/2 years then the next update, or bloatware slowed it down and down. Then they never supported it - as per what ever fucking idiot company decided YOUR phone needed! Every android phone doesn’t get the same update, so it’s a false comparison.
That and nearly 70% of android phones were hacked through apps or malware.
Almost 1 BILLION android phones at risk of hacking
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-51751950
People just keep using these shit ancient phones when there’s NO security patches released for them and they are that stupid they don’t even realise.
I had to ALWAYS have a fucking virus scanner on a fucking android phone!
Bought a Apple iPhone 5SE had it 4 years fully supported, NEVER had a virus scanner NEVER had ANY fucking issues cause it’s the same update ALL IPhones supported get. Apple Pay biometric, boots in seconds ALWAYS. NEVER slows down, doesn’t have bloatware from who you bought your phone from, don’t need to jail break it - like why the fuck would you spend hundreds on a phone to make it like you want it, like there’s a severe issue with that and yourself if that’s what you do?? No VIRUS SCANNER NEEDED, no malware, no fucking dodgy App Store full of chinese scammers!
It’s a phone, it doesn’t everything you want a phone to do, sat nav in the car, maps. People have some weird deep down hang ups, when there’s more important things in life to worry about. Buy whoever you want but you won’t be owning an android for as long as an iPhone unless you pay into the thousands, the software support is the worst shit I have ever,ever had and wouldn’t take a FREE android phone if it dropped through my letter box.
I have 3 perfectly good Samsung,Nokia and even a Huawei-before they were corrupt bastards too. Slow as shit thanks to shit open source android. |

@SABOT
I love it when people have a false sense of security.
You're a shining example.
I hope the wake-up call will not be very painful. |

yea, like there wasn't an class action law suite against apple for slowing down phones, but somehow SABOT thinks apple doesn't do that. I don't even want to go into other delusions he is suffering from, it's pointless. Putting a VPN on the phone was too big of an ask for him to do on android. I never ever had a virus on the phone. |

What hacking shit? I DONT use cloud NOTHING. MY phone is connected to NOTHING. FFS what part don't you understand? read again ONE BILLION android PHONES at risk of hacking because they are not updated by the company that supplied YOUR phone! Boy you guys got a LOT to learn about security and phones. 30 YEARS of PC building and experience. Just because you hate Apple doesn't mean you have to be thick ignorant guys.
Android are the worst supported shit on the market period!
it's 6 fucking years old news....
Apple is sooo hackable as a PHONE the US Police couldn't even break into it and tried to get a court order for the pin. it took 6 weeks to break into an ancient Iphone 5C -not cloud the PHONE.https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/28/apple-fbi-case-dropped-san-bernardino-iphone

it's because there are one billion android models from different manufacturers, unlike 2 iphones per year...Of course, there is no $50 iphone $80 iphone, $100 iphone and so on and so on. but there is an android for every pocket.
You can always get an "One" or you could get a Nexus phone and be supported for longer.
The point is you can't avoid apple update that cuts your performance to make your non-replaceable battery last a bit longer. So you already got your phone slowed down by apple. You didn't have a choice.
PS. I think in spite of lawsuit they added an option to revert to original performance on affected devices. Probably hidden away from a user like everything meaningful on iPhone usually is.

You can replace the battery quite easy. Done it on my wife's 5SE. Buy it anywhere on amazon and anywhere else.
Erm no i didn't get my phone slowed down by Apple, that's specific models and how you define slowed down. Android on the other hand was -and i watch regularly on buses people that use the phone to activate a ticket, then have to sit down and wait for it to launch then go back to the driver. in 4 years it's worked every day, 5 days a week.

you can but it voids your waranty. And Apple could sue you if they feel like because they know that you did it, like it or not.
ah, I almost forgot, you got slowed down and you got a new battery for a 10 year old phone. And you think Android phones are your problem. Seems to me, you were buying $50 Android phones with TN screens...those are called disposable phones, you know, use them for a day and throw them away. And you were expecting support....
edit: yes it did get slowed down.
And I have a car. If I don't want to drive I call a cab. I am not poor.
