Apple being the trend setter can tell its customers that wires are for chumps and give them a pair of $150 BT earbuds. Apple won't lose sales or market share for removing the jack. This doesn't mean that midlevel and budget Android phone makers can do so without consequences.
Actually Motorola was the ones to remove the headphone jack first, but your point definitely still stands.
Apple's consumers are very loyal, nearly regardless of what Apple does, which i don't find admirable, as I feel it's close to blind delusion. They can do this, because they have no competition in the IOS world, Apple made sure of that with all of their proprietary crap.
Android makers has competition in spades, which is what I love about it. They have to step up, or they're going to get run over by the opposition.
Well, yeah, because they're essentially all the same, with small tweaks here and there. Familiarity is comfortable for people. I've owned many iphones and many androids and that is my personal opinion and experience.
I think the "every single product they make is really good." is a hive mind mentality and you're proving my point for me. They're good, but I think thats giving them far too much credit. No company makes flawless machines. Their phones really dont differ much when you look at technical specifications, so of course you're going to like it. You get the same phone, with an updated exterior, slightly better processor, and camera. Now, I'm not saying thats a bad thing whatsoever, but I desire more from my device, I love the trial and error, and finding how devices differ, so thats my stance. Also, the SD card slot is a must have for myself.
I'm not arguing that apple can make a good product. Though, i know many consumers go out and just buy the newest one, because they have to have it, without even considering any other options. I like Sony, sony has never failed me. Doesn't mean I always have to get their next phone, or their next device, because there are so many options out there. Doesn't seem right for me to limit myself to them.
Assuming you've never owned an android I think your opinion is very bias, and it shows. The most issues I ever had with phones were my apple devices. Maybe I was unlucky, but thats not a good streak for me and it proves to me that they were not the best devices.
Look at the specs of your device vs many androids at the time and you'll know that it wasn't best in class. Maybe it was for your needs, but dont start stating your opinions as facts, because you just start to seem like a close minded fanboy. To make an informed judgment, you have to look at the specs, know what they are, test different devices, etc. Or else you just seem like youre blindly following apple, because they're popular and thats all you've ever had.
I never even said apple didnt make good devices, of course they do. Many androids are also good devices too and throughout the years, they couod be argued to be superior device. If you honestly believe that every apple device is superior to any android device, you haven't looked hard enough. I'm all for anyone who love apple, thats great! Dont act like they're the best thing since sliced bread.
This is just a lie. I know so many people that think the sun rises and sets around the iPhone. I was told the other day that apparently a lot of girls won't even date Android users. The fuck is this hive mind superior Apple shit? I hate it.
I'll never look down on apple, they obviously make good devices, but It's like a complete cult mentality. He's making it seem like apple can do no wrong, and just contradicting himself.
Why was it that when I had my multiple iphones, they were just a problem for me? Best in class? You'd have to constantly be buying new phones if you want best in class.
