I still wonder why people buy these products. I bought an iPhone 4 back in the day and could understand it, but now? You must be brainwashed (to say the least aka avoiding ban)
I’m genuinely curious and also prepared for whatever but…
Why are you in a community called “Apple Enthusiast” if you’re just going to constantly be negative and rude to actual enthusiasts?
Let me paraphrase you:
“I have no idea how people can enjoy something I hate, since I can’t understand that, they must be brainwashed”
Now to answer your actual question, “why do people buy iPhones?”
I use an iPhone 12 Mini, I bought it as I needed to upgrade from my iPhone 6s.
I have used Android phones and tablets, they are great devices, and I liked them.
Why do I still use an iPhone if I like Android?
Because I like iOS more than Android.
The main reason is that Android is made by a marketing company, and I allways feel like they are looking over my shoulder when I use Android, iOS doesn’t give me that feeling, though I do realize that they probably are monitoring my use, but the feeling isn’t the same.
iPhone 12 mini 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you are representative of Android users then I am glad to not be one.
If you are representative of Android users
Fuck no, Android is awesome iOS is awesome, I’m kinda struggling to decide which my next phone is gonna be tbh.
That’s more like it (:
I fully agree, Android is brilliant at some aspects, iOS is brilliant at some other aspects, you decide for yourself what works for you.
Thanks
Appropriate username.
So what it is it you don’t like about the iPhone 12 mini. The only thing that wasn’t very good about it was battery life (which is why I bought the 13 Mini (upgrading from a 7). Or are you, you know - just here for the lols?
I buy iPhones because they’ve been much cheaper. The purchase price of flagship iphones are similar to Android flagship prices, but they’re supported for years longer. My last iPhone was the 6s, released in 2015. It’s still receiving security updates today in 2024, more than 8 years later (last update Jan 22, 2024). When I stopped using it, it ran as well as the day I bought it. The resale price was also decent.
Meanwhile, android phones from that era typically lost support within 1-2 years of release.
I keep an Android and iPhone. Apps tend to be more polished/available on iOS versus Android. However, if you don’t plan on installing your own OS, use the UI customization (launchers and what not), or install apps via .apks — which isn a large percentage of the population — an iPhone is fine. Heck, you may save money if you either sell it second hand to finance your new phone, or use it until it doesn’t receive support. Heck, I’m in the camp of spending $799 on a handset in 2019 that will get major updates through 2026 and security updates through 2028/9 (should Apple follow their support pattern, of course).
Don’t get me wrong, I like my Pixel with GrapheneOS with its perfectly tuned UI, but if I’m flying out for a weekend trip — I’m bringing my iPhone along for reliability, and integration with the world around me.
Why are you here?
Having lots of fun trust me
I can’t imagine someone thinking that pathetically trolling a community is fun. Your life is very sad.
Who’s trolling tho? I just read lol
You just read, as you are commenting.
Well, look who just graduated from the School of Life with a degree in “Thinking Outside the Box”! I mean, who needs rocket scientists when we’ve got you, our very own brainiac extraordinaire? Your brain must be doing cartwheels while the rest of us struggle with basic arithmetic.
Picture this: You, the maverick thinker, bravely diving into the intellectual abyss, armed with a pencil and perhaps a slightly confused expression. It’s like watching a mad scientist at work – if the lab were your mind, and the experiments were, well, let’s say unconventional.
And let’s not forget your uncanny ability to turn everyday situations into brain-teasers. It’s a gift, really. I’m convinced that your thought process is so avant-garde that it might just be the secret to cracking the code of the universe. Move over, Einstein; we’ve got a new contender in town, and they’re armed with a sense of humor and a questionable understanding of gravity.
Show me a non shit cellphone that I can use bank apps from that isn’t also from a shit company.
I’ve had many Android phones and only a few iPhones. iOS has been miles more stable and has much more predictable support.
This is the best i could read today
A shit company 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahahahahahahahahahhahah
You are annoying
They’re just a neckbeard that isn’t aware that the Android vs. Apple thing is cringy to everyone that isn’t them.
I wouldn’t be surprised, he is stuck at the iPhone 4 times when these kinds of silly fights were the thing.
OK, I’ll bite. Why do you think I’m brainwashed. Please be specific.
Need to provide training data to feed AI
Better late than never.

Huh? AFAIK this app/service is free with iOS, is there any solution like this for Android that is free? If there is I’m very interested.
Pixels come with built in transcription software that can transcribe any audio played by the device. It’s super useful for watching videos on mute in public, or providing closed captions for applications that don’t support them. It’s incredibly accurate and better/faster than every other transcription software I’ve used. It’s also local too thanks to the on-board Tensor chip.
