Android is better than apple

submitted by Niggly_Puff to Rants 1 monthMar 23, 2024 16:37:37 ago (+24/-1)     (Rants)

If you look down on me because my text message appear green, then you are a simple minded idiot. You are using an inferior more expensive product, and you don't even know how or why the message is green. You have the mind of a monkey. If you had it your way the world would be nothing but pain and misery. End your self. Not before shopping around for the perfect casket of course, dont want complete morons thinking you are inferior.

It's green because of racism.

[ - ] Jimmycrackerson 6 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 19:11:15 ago (+6/-0)

No, I can't tell you why the text messages are green. But I can measure them. I can predict the next and following green messages. I have a very good understanding of it, and that's good enough for me. I'm not distracted by the philosophical side of WHY the text messages are green.

At this point I'm probably just going to use GrapheneOS from here on out.

Some Benefits of Android, there is more but I am feeling lazy.

Android phones are cheaper to own outright and they largely rely on USB-C ports for charging and data transfer these days, which is super convenient if you're one of those people who really likes to pack light and carry only one cable.

Also when you plug an Android handset into a Windows PC, you can very easily drag and drop files into folders, as if the device were just another drive.

Some Android phones, like the Galaxy S24 series, even have special PC or display projection features, that let you use view and use your device in a desktop capacity. Samsung's DeX interface is one such example of this. With such versatility, a high-end Android phone could legitimately function as a replacement for one of the best Chromebooks or similarly ultraportable laptops.

It's more customizable.

Android also lets you download third-party replacements for core services — like web browsers, keyboards and media players — and set them as the default versions if you prefer a third-party app to one that was preinstalled on your phone.

Although expandable storage is somewhat less popular these days, some Android phones still offer it.

I am glad that I switched to Android a long time ago. However, one thing that I don't like is that some flagship models no longer have a headphone jack.

What are some other notable concessions that a potential buyer might like to know before purchasing an Android?

[ - ] Nasturtium 1 point 1 monthMar 23, 2024 22:44:56 ago (+1/-0)

I'm sorry...the headphone jack isn't coming back. Just like the removable battery, the physical home button and so many other hardware features, they are past the point of no return with the headphone jack. Not enough people care about it or base their buying decisions on it.

[ - ] Hall_of_Cost 1 point 1 monthMar 24, 2024 03:13:49 ago (+1/-0)

Many of these high end phones are advertised as flexible, multipurpose, studio grade cameras that are equipped with features for content creators. If this is the case, why remove the most ubiquitous interface cable; the ⅛" jack? It was a great feature. They were stereo, too. I know they're trying to save space and cost, but losing that function also bricked some cool portable studio tech that was fun and new. Regardless of how much easier "the cloud" is, the audio jack represented more options and control in the hands of the consumer. Nowadays, you can't run your phone straight into a tape deck, you've got to juggle files to other devices or some other hassle. Perhaps this is minor to many, but it's supposed to be a phone and a studio tool. It's alright, though. For now, I just keep old phones.

[ - ] Pasty 1 point 1 monthMar 24, 2024 06:33:16 ago (+1/-0)

You can always buy a Bluetooth receiver and run a jack from that into a stereo. They're small and cheap to use.

Thanks, I’m currently an ifag but am planning on switching whenever the time comes.

I am leaning towards the galaxy s24 (or whatever model), is there any reason I should avoid it? I’ve done some research just seeing what a goat thinks.

[ - ] Kozel 2 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 21:10:51 ago (+2/-0)

galaxy samsung phones are shit riddled with spyware from multiple companies

when you know what's up you only buy phones that support the operating system you plan to flash on them

currently I roll with a pixel 6a which is $120-ish on ebay and grapheneOS. And I do 6 million more things on that phone than you will do on a Somebong Galaxy XXXL 420

I'm in the same season as you I want to upgrade but honestly we are all compromised whenever "Smart" comes into the equation. I have an ifag phone for work and private I just need to bite the bullet and go flip phone and use my desktop on Linux. It's stupidly convenient technology and super cool how everything can integrate but who all has access to it? How much data are they constantly collecting and how the hell is it going to be used? These questions bug the crap out of me.

Edit: bugs to bug because too many can lead to an infestation.

Programming and making games for Android is infinitely easier than any Apple thing.

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 2 points 1 monthMar 24, 2024 08:17:09 ago (+2/-0)

Expandable storage is why I'll not be upgrading my phone any time soon, if at all. I'm not streaming anything (especially audio) and I don't need to subscribe to your hard drive to access my stuff.

I was checking about two weeks ago if not this past week, and I believe there's still a lower-tier Samsung model that offers expandable storage, as well as Motorola, and Sony IIRC.

[ - ] Nasturtium 1 point 1 monthMar 24, 2024 09:50:18 ago (+1/-0)

Yes, expandable storage is one of my key reasons too.

You are right... there is the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G. Love the crisp looking screen but no head phone jack though, case feels cheap but easily covered.

[ - ] SilentByAssociation 1 point 1 monthMar 24, 2024 12:01:16 ago (+1/-0)

I think it's the A50 at least that can take up to a 1TB microSD. My expandable storage has 240 of 477GB used.

Doing away with the audio jack is a feature that I greatly despise. You'll never find me charging my headphones of all things.

[ - ] DieselForever 5 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 19:26:32 ago (+5/-0)

Spied on by creepy Google or spied on by creepy Crapple both are kind of gay really. Also people still use plain SMS/iMessage still?

[ - ] Nasturtium 0 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 20:27:29 ago (+0/-0)

Totally fake and gay!

[ - ] autotic 5 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 18:10:09 ago (+5/-0)

That's like saying cat shit is better than dog shit. I don't want to step in either.

Both are surveillance platforms first and everything a distant additional concern.

Pff. Windows phone master race!

Having used both I prefer Android. I love the Newpipe app and it only runs on Android.

[ - ] Niggly_Puff [op] 1 point 1 monthMar 24, 2024 11:28:12 ago (+1/-0)

My vanced app for YouTube has stopped working. Just tried newpipe, seems like a good replacement.

[ - ] BoozyB 0 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 19:34:10 ago (+0/-0)

So. What's the difference between Newpipe and PipePipe?
I use PipePipe and they look and act identical.

[ - ] psykx 2 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 21:24:57 ago (+2/-0)

Never heard of PipePipe.

[ - ] BoozyB 1 point 1 monthMar 24, 2024 08:22:28 ago (+1/-0)

It's available on F-Droid. exactly the same. Apparently two names for the same app.

[ - ] Kozel 3 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 20:55:28 ago (+3/-0)

I look down on people who don't use encrypted messages.

I use GrapheneOS, btw.

[ - ] Not_C 3 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 19:46:10 ago (+3/-0)

Option 1 - Use a drastically overpriced and under powered phone that can't have any features, options, or abilities unless they're simple enough for a 90 year old grandmother to understand.

Option 2 - Support a Jewish owned and controlled company and give Mossad access to your entire life.

Option 3 - ...... there is no option 3.

[ - ] Nasturtium 0 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 20:24:05 ago (+0/-0)

Oh man no option 3, you gave me hope for a millisecond...

[ - ] clymer 3 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 19:07:12 ago (+3/-0)

Been using graphene os and ever since, I don't get mysterious ad's in my inbox advertising shit that I talk about. Seriously, look into a privacy OS, they are stupid-simple to install. I used the web installer yesterday on a pixel 6a I bought and it took me all of 10 minutes. I recall the days when you had to root the OS, install busy box, fast loader, blah fucking blah ..not excuse not to be using a privacy OS nowadays. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qruzL9IdUr8

Looks like only pixels are supported out of the box?

I always had Android phones. My first smartphone was a Galaxy S1. Rooted and flashed many phones with cyanogenmod and custom kernels. I got a used iphone a year ago. Out of the box experience is generally better than any Android phone I’ve owned aside from a couple of the Chinese brands like ZTE and Huawei. ASUS phones were pretty good too. The iphone is limiting if you’re a power user and need to interact with your saved files, but otherwise it’s a very smooth user experience. Different customer base. The average normie would do better with an Apple product. They don’t use 95% of an Android phone’s capabilities.

[ - ] bobdole9 0 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 18:56:37 ago (+0/-0)

Would you take an ASUS phone over Samsung? I've only used ASUS motherboards on my desktop builds, so I know the brand doesn't suck...I've just had Samsung since I moved to smartphones.

[ - ] Spaceman84 3 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 19:03:00 ago (+3/-0)

Depends on the price segment you’re looking at. ASUS doesn’t make phones that are competitive with top end flagship Samsung, Apple or Huawei phones. I haven’t kept up with the recent ASUS models but they were very competitive in their price range when I owned them. I liked the first one I owned enough that I got another ASUS phone a year later. Usually I change brands whenever I get a new phone.

Dollar for dollar I like ASUS over Samsung.

What does your commentary have to do with Android or iOS and one being better than the other?

[ - ] Niggly_Puff [op] 4 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 17:38:00 ago (+4/-0)

I guess you are out of the loop. Apparently kids get made fun of for having green text messages. Women will stop talking to men they are interested in if they receive a green text message back. Basically people are idiots.

[ - ] Tallest_Skil 3 points 1 monthMar 23, 2024 17:42:01 ago (+3/-0)

Oh, absolutely. I’ve heard of it and certainly believe it. But that’s just dysgenics in action. Since corporate branding began, this behavior has existed. It’s not unique to technology.

I love the DOJ’s suit against Apple. It’s the most incompetent piece of shit I’ve seen in a long time. They have no goddamned clue what a monopoly is. They’re arguing the (identical) equivalent of “Wal-mart must be forced to sell Target brand goods in their stores.” I’d say it would be laughed out of court and the judge would demand criminal reparations, but we don’t have courts anymore.

Top of the line Samsung devices are definitely superior. And some of them can be rooted and take lineageOS. If you completely wipe a Samsung phone and replace most of the default apps with open source apps out of the f droid store, that seems to work even better than lineage from my testing.

Apple shows their ifags green text in messages from non-apple phones, and blue text from apple phones.

[ - ] Niggly_Puff [op] 0 points 1 monthMar 24, 2024 10:15:31 ago (+0/-0)

The reason is iMessage. It is different than standard SMS messaging (which all phones use). iMessage works through the internet, with iphone only. If you use an iphone and receive a standard SMS message, it's green instead of blue.
