Literally what is the point of a high end phone?
>>106693632You don't get junk with it anymore.
>>106693632they take really nice photosother than that idk
more storage and memoryyou really do have to rely on cloud storage with a budget phone
>>106693680Not if you get a phone with a microSD card slot.
>>106693632why not? i trade mine in for the newest one every 2 years and it costs $350 cus iphones retain their value. It's literal pocket change
>>106693789what do you get out of it?I have 15 pro and I can't really thing of anything I'm gaining by upgrading to 17
usecase of stickers?
>>106693632Not having a low end phone
I'm not sure what OP means by his picture, so I'm going to take it as an opportunity to get on my own soapbox:I don't understand why people complain about phones these days not coming with a charger. Against all odds, we're in the good timeline. Chargers are "uncoupled" from phones. USB C won. Why would I want the manufacturer to overcharge me for a shittier version of what I can get on my own? It's like getting mad because your phone didn't come with a manufacturer-branded USB cable, or because your computer didn't come with a manufacturer-branded Ethernet cable.
>>106693834Because it feels like you're getting less for your money. Consumers are monkeybrained, getting more stuff feels gooder, no matter how redundant, useless or wasteful that stuff is
>>106693834iphone 17 fastest charging mode is using bleeding-edge usb pd 3.2 avs. the only charger that can do this is apple's 40w dynamic power adapter with 60w max.https://www.chargerlab.com/apple-iphone-17-series-debuts-with-40w-dynamic-power-adapter-and-pd-3-2-avs-fast-charging/
>>106693632the issue with the past iphones is you couldnt tell who had an 11 pro max or a 16 pro max. nothing worse tapking to someone as you find out they are a brokie total ick. thankfully i can finally differentiate whos a brokie without an iphone 17 pro/pro max
>>106693834For me its because every new phone nowadays (even chink redmi) come with a new iteration of their fast charging, which the old charger would not support, so you would have to buy the new charger regardlesst. xiaomi 67W charger>DGAY2
>>106693979>haha what if you degrade your battery twice as fast so you get 0->50% 5 minutes quicker
>>106694006those chinese proprietary fast charging go against the usb consortium. chinese can do this but western companies would get sued by the usb consortium for misusing the usb trademark. see qualcomm's quick charge.so apple and samsung will just do usb pd charging. the only thing apple and samsung will do is using niche usb pps or usb avs modes. so their latest chargers will have a head-start.
>>106694036>those chinese proprietary fast charging go against the usb consortium. chinese can do this but western companies would get sued by the usb consortium for misusing the usb trademarkwhy are westoids such cucks lmao
>>106694029that's not a thing since years.temps is what degrades a battery's chemistry.the phone's battery management system wouldn't allow fast-charging if temps are too high.apple even does this:>If you have AppleCare and your iPhone battery holds less than 80 percent of it’s original capacity, you are eligible for a battery replacement at no additional cost.
gaming. most gaming is done on phones.
>>106694080then only iphones would exist.porting games to fragmented androids is a nightmare and performance suffers.https://github.com/K11MCH1/AdrenoToolsDriversiphone is like a console.android's is like a pc where you cannot even update the gpu drivers.
>>106694106this is a strange response to that post. why make this an iphone/android thing?
>>106694106>Like a PC where you can't update the GPU driverHey Pajeet. How are the ESL lessons going?
>>106694129a gamer would know.lots of aaa games like assassin creed, resident evil or death stranding are iphone only.android's saving grace is emulators. but here you have to make sure that your device is at least qualcomm and still gets driver updates.
>>106694079>temps is what degrades a battery's chemistry.and going from 20W to 40W charging won't increase the temps?
>>106693632good that they dont give you the applefag stickers anymore, previous worker here put it on the door and i had to fucking remove because i hate apple and steve jobs was greedy asshole.

>>106694153>lots of garbage games are iphone only
>>106694153gamer would never play games made for large screen or TV on tiny phone screen with touchpad controls
>>106694183>my fav gacha game still lets me gamble on androidmaybe so but hoyoverse games will look better on iphone
>>106694212>no one is going to play cod mobile when they can play proper cod on a big screen
>>106693896i'm glad tech now comes in small boxes containing only the product. the age of massive mostly empty blister boxes was 20 years ago, the box my phone comes in should be only slightly larger than my phone.
>>106694212this is true, but these "gamers" are actually enthusiasts and most gaming bu the general public is done on smartphones, regardless of the brand. that's a reason to upgrade.

>>106693979>the only charger that can do this is apple's 40w dynamic power adapter with 60w max.Why lie?
>>106694311google is banned in china. a chinese website wouldn't know about google's chargers.
>>106693980Pajeet hands typed this.
>>106693632the point of a high end phone for you was the charger and earbuds?
>>106693632Not everyone changes their phone yearly.If I'm getting a high-end phone, I'm keeping that shit for 5+ years.Also, maxed out on the storage. I have a small regret of not getting a 1TB version of my 13PM.

>>106695282they are cute and funny.
>>106693632There’s a rumor floating around that the expensive models can do more stuff, like play games better or take better photos. I’m not really sure though, that’s just a rumor. There’s also some whispers that certain devices can deliver power via USB, but I’m not sure either. Seems kinda fake. How does electricity go through a USB cable?
>>106693632To subsidize low end phones.Same with cars and GPUs etc etc.
>>106694301Does the type of phone actually make a difference here? These games are incredibly divisive and most people hate them, so I’m not sure why you’d waste money on this.
>>106696244Phone maker? No. The SoC and its cooling does.
>>106696244>>106696260Also you only do your dailies and a bit of exploration on your shitphone. You play the story on PC.
>>106693834The phone should come with everything needed to use it, and the best version of those peripherals. Otherwise the process of buying a phone becomes unnecessarily complex: which charger, are there different types, what price is fair, is this chinkshit, and other autistic screechings. The appeal of iPhones are that they don't require thinking. You just turn off your brain and trade up to the new one every other year. But now brainlets get put in bad situations like: > my old charger uses the rectangle plug but the new cable is the tiny round plug> the AT&T man says I need a wireless charging mat for $70> carplay isn't working help i don't know how to get homeThis makes people feel bad because it makes their heads hurt, and that's not good.

>>106697550It’s okay son, once you work hard you can buy whatever you want.
>>106693632If you don't get a new phone, you either don't install updates and your phone gets hacked, or you do install updates and it slows down to the point of being unusable. Only new phones are capable of running the extreme amount of useless bloat packed into each successive software update.
>>106693680>more storage and memoryMy phone has 64gb's of storage, doesn't matter with one of these things however.>>106693682>microSDThose are nice too.>>106693803>usecase of stickers?Sticken them on things?>>106693808>Not having a low end phoneThe iPhone air uses a last gen CPU and to make it not cook itself to death they had to remove a GPU core as a result of how thin it is. The 16e is a better deal for price/performance if your trapped in the Apple ecosystem.

I use a fairly cheap phone made by moterolla it has a 120hz oled and idk how much storage it only cost me like $300 aud on clearance. I just use it for checking emails/texts/signal and my bank account, sometimes music and sometimes newpipe. I never feel like I need more that would be insane, you guys spend too much money on dumb crap in my opinion.
