If you purchased one of the iPhone 12s in any of the regions where there’s no 5G deployed yet, then you just wasted a lot of money.

bagfox71655d@r20408e122449d That’s the last reason I’d buy a iPhone 12, but we do have 5G in the city.

piratefox36855dIf you are, consider that the best musicists are there... And so is pythagoras and other cool guys, so I'd say it's better like this.
And if you read Faust you should know God is a controversial figure and that heaven is a monarchy :^) -
@bagfox I would buy it because I love the lightning port, love that fact that it does not come with a charging brick, because I like a sucky file manager, because I like it when apps crash, because I like that huge ugly obstructive notch, because I don’t care about money so much.
But hey, I’m only talking about me and no one else.
I do use an iPhone by the way. I also have an Android phone which saves me from it every now and then. -
I got a macbook. @electrineer is right, these come with "making life as hell" as an additional feature
-
bagfox71655d@r20408e122449d I don’t care about none of that. Except apps crashing, which is the main reason why I went to iOS from android. Android crashes a lot more for me at least, additionally, the updates still aren’t that great and rooting it to something newer just makes the UI sluggish and I really don’t care anymore to do this kind of stuff.
The most important time when I need my phone is when I’m in a hurry and Android is always a sleeping in that situation.
And I also have two Android phones here... Because I work with App developers of both platforms. I also never bought any phone new and the iPhone is the only Apple Gadget I will personally ever own. -
@bagfox Perhaps both have issues depending on the phone.
I’ve used a Galaxy S9 for a long time and had no problems. I can’t remember an app crashing. Maybe they did crash but they were so rare that I don’t remember.
On iOS however, apps crash on a daily basis for me. On iPhone SE 2020 and iPhone 7+ atleast. -
IntrusionCM470855din short:
did ms mobile die? Yes.
is android shit? Yes.
is iphone shit? Yes.
All suck in their own way.
Are there alternatives? Not really.
At least not in a way you would expect.
Sailfish / Jolla hasn't completely died.
Librem is still thriving.
KDE / Gnome still throwing shit at each other but at least progressing forwards to a mobile experience.
As long as not a magic fairy pops up and combines money with knowledge and passion (that's what went wrong in the Ubuntu corner...) there isn't an alternative. -
You have forced yourself to be using iPhone for the foreseeable future.
So yes. You have sent yourself into hell. -
@bagfox I use a custom rom and I don't have any of the crashing or sluggish ui you mentioned. You just have to be very careful to not buy one of the many bad android phones. You must buy it only after it's proven good – otherwise it's a gamble. But in my books, you automatically lose the game if you go with an iPhone.

kiki1710654d@c3r38r170 than everyone who ever lived? Probably not. Than you? Yes, totally. Objectively even.

@IntrusionCM
"did ms mobile die? Yes.
is android shit? Yes.
is iphone shit? Yes."
implying that ms mobile was pretty nice which I wholly agree with at least from a purely user-centric angle.
I bought an iPhone. Am I going to hell?
