>"Why do ppl buy iPhones?"
>>109226207>bought the shittiest 1€ phone from the sketchiest cell carrier with a 2 year contract>clicks next and accept on everything the carrier advertises through the phone>is surprised anyway Normies aren't human
>>109226293>shittiest 1€ phoneIt's a samsung, not a chinese phone, you can tell by the bigzby app
>>109226316Android = poor
>>109226293>buy the cheapest iPhone>no 3rd party crapware>every apple app can be uninstalled>buy a mid range jeetdroid>facebook / microsoft / etc crapware preinstalled>phone downloads 50 games you never asked for>cannot remove / uninstall any crapware>have to use adb and a PC to disable crapware???
>>109226207Yeah. People are dumb. They'd rather spend $500 than change a few settings to not get adware.>>109226349>>buy the cheapest iPhone>still 3x the price of a midrange Android.
>>109226316The 1€ thing comes from the fact that cell carries in europe will advertise low end phones as being "1€" or even free but you actually finance it over 2 years with your cell plan + financing being one merged monthly pay, a lot of people here get phones like this, I don't think I know anyone who has paid the full sum of a phone upfront irl
>>109226207lineage os chads don't have this problem
>>109226207i have died of normie
>>109226207All my family have samsung phones. 3 of them updated to one ui 8 5 days agon none of them have this problemThis nigga is lying ore done something fucked up
>>109226207Just like with any other pocket 1984 device, normies feel they're missing out big time unless they're being spied on 24/7.
>>109226494All my family uses samsung in punjab ssaaar
>>109226207every phone update installs carrier bloatware unless you have an unlocked phone
>>109226466Too true. But iToddlers cannot change the OS on their device, they don't even own their own phone.
>No I don't have any games on my phone.
>>109226578Never happened on my iPhone
>>109226207see this is what I mean about samshits ugly as fuck Candyland OS. fuck you samsung ill never understand how it became the #1 android brand oh and YWNBiOS
>>109226207>>109226578iTODDLERS BTFO>>109226335>>109226349>>109226600BTFO iTODDLERS
>>109226207>here's your saarPhone bro
>>109226555Not in india, but we had blackberry, motorola, hawei and redmi. Switched to samshit because ease of useThe only shit i don't like is that samshit is not compatible with sony tvs while the chink phone have no problem streaming and mirroring to sony tvs
>>109226563>carrier bloatware>carrier locked phonei haven't seen that shit in agesdo amerimutts still do that?
Android is borderline unusable without custom roms
I wonder what keeps EU from regulating the android phone marketI kinda want a phone where I decide what apps get installed. And these brands regularly install stuff against my will.Who is in favor of that behavior
>>109227487Some people do. It's cheaper. And sometimes certain phones are tied to certain characters.
>>109226207I just helped someone set up a new cheap A series Samsung and during setup it offered some adware apps. You need to pay attention and not just click next.Nearly all devices do that nowadays. Even Apple has its bloatware and promotes iCloud shit.
>>109226207>Firefox
>>109226207kek so fun fact this is a Nothing Phone but it only effects you if you're in india, i have a nothing 4a pro, i'm white and i haven't had this at all whereas loads of indians (the top 1% who can afford a £300 phone) have been assraped by carl pei over this.
>>109226589bern
>>109226445It's the exact same in America anon
>>109226316>samsungeven worse than just buying the cheapest one
>>109226316Thats beats audio not bixby
>>109226207I love iPhones
>>109227636Some manufacturers don't include any bloat, or only the absolute minimum of itI like Motorola for that reason - the only extra things beyond bare Android that were included in my phone were parental controls, some extra security things and their own wallpaper app
>>109226445That's how burgers get their phones. Cheap or expensive, they pay for it on a contract. And because it's a two year contract and they want a new iPhone every year, they'll pay an additional fee for the privilege of signing another 2 year contract before their old one is up.
>>109227722>can you believe it? anonymous humans just... lying? in my underwater basket weaving forum?
>>109226207most secure phone you can buy
>>109226335can itrash do this? no? fuck off.
>>109226207I know this is a Verizon phone because mine automatically installed the same exact bloatware when I first set it up.
>>109226207My Samsung phone does the same thing. I can't use a custom DoH or DoT server with self-signed certs on Android. Android doesn't even support DHCPv6.
>>109226207>This is where your Firefox donations go to.Either that or it must be really profitable with all the ads in Firefox that they can get it on one of these install lists.
>>109230475I have a pretty good chance of being impressed if you’d say what it’s doing
>>109232817just being used as a ham radio by the looks of it. the shitty speaker plugged in the top is irrelevant
>>109232817https://www.kv4p.com/
>>109230475Hipster detected
>>109226207
>>109226207Because android is much worse and has x10 the spyware and you have to fight google instead of appleEven if you think apple is shit that's fine, this is just worseIt's a shame we have no indie companies competing with these cunts
>>109226207the only thing keeping me from switching to iphone is the webkit browser engine mandate. i refuse to use a phone where i can't use firefox with plugins that make the niggernet less niggerlicious (ublock, html canvas blocker, user agent spoofer, script tool, etc.)
>>109233351you can use adguard or orion browser for adblock
>>109233369that sounds good but i still need canvas and user agent spoofer so i can ban evade on reddit.
>>109233339>indie companiesyou're so dumb you ought to just kill yourself
>>109230475Thats nothing, I've comnected my xreal ar glasses to get a 100 inch screen while also having connected my ps5 controller. Using GeForce now I can game in bed with a 100 inch screen. Also a few times I had extra usb stuff to connect 2 xreal glasses and 2 ps5 controllers to my phone and I remember it working well for some things
I have Xiaomi phone and trying to unlock the bootloader is a huge hurdle in this specific model. They also made it hard to access the brom too.
>>109233436Kill yourself midwit faggot you have no idea what you're talking about Me saying it's a shame we have none is not me saying it's so easy just make a phone in your garage I know that you're 16 but we used to have many competing manufacturers before smartphones who wrote their own OSIt's a shame that the market has slid into a duopoly when smartphones sprungThe reason there is not competition and never will be is legal, you idiot, not technical, if the chips could have been licensed including drivers nothing would prevent a slew of niche competitors from appearing
>>109230475Why would I connect my phone with trash?
>>109233600you don't understand, that he's an epic hacker genius
>>109226293$1000 Pixel phones come loaded with shit like Youtube Music and Google Drive which you can't remove.
sanjay breached /spg/ containment again
>>109227662Buy a pixel and install GrapheneOS, or buy it preinstalled. Don't buy hardware you have no control over.
>>109230475If this broadcasts on all frequencies then it's based, if it's software locked to goy bands its trash
>>109233712Have to connect it to a computer to remove shit off android
>>109226445majority don't even understand how it works, they actually think it's just free, and because of that they will often pick the most expensive flagship model for the entire family. 11 year old daquanda needs the s26 ultra and daquan-shaun-braun needs the iphone 17 pro max 2tb because he's just such a special. This shit gets broken within about 3 days of buying and then theyre calling in for insurance claims and just fucking racking up the bill. I swear half the people in poverty are there because they do shit like this for everything.
>>109234122Yeah so for all intents and purposes, it's unremovable bloatware.
>>109226207>>109226349>>109227662I bought some shit tier Motorola (Moto 5G G84) and it let me remove literally any app i wanted. If you are so retarded that you can not even ask some AI to explain the process to you then you deserve this. People paying more than 200-300 EUR for android phones are subhuman cattle.
You can disable shit like that and uninstall whatever you want even without a root or custom rom. It's annoying and bullshit but not an unsolvable problem.
>>109234928Or you could just not get an androjeet in the first place
>>109235022I don't like the way ios looks and the apps I need don't exist on apple anyways
>>109233487It's not as bad as smasnugs. Those got bootloader unlock completely cut out since One UI 8.0.
>>109226207>Why do ppl buy iPhones?because theyre retarded
>>109226445>buying cucked carrier phones instead of just getting a pay as you use sim card from aldi or nettono one does this.... right?
