Can’t we all just get along?
ThatTransformersDude
My favorite is how people assume that I'm not an adult for using an android phone. Genuinely don't get it, just enjoy what you want.
TheMajesticBongacorn
People who use that font on phones are psychopaths.
celestiaIs
So what would the Pixel 3 look like? because its camera is 5x better than any Iphone
TuringComplete114
Fauxcused
I'm hungry going to eat a pizza bro
blagon
the iPhone is a remake no one wanted?
RandyJenkins
Oh look, a lame font user.
killerkadoogan
It's a terrible font
Snowflaky
Hey i use it! Fuck you for being right!
ThreeDogeMoon69
I saw this exact picture yesterday but the iPhone screen was shattered
cousteau
Yeah when somebody fixed the original or one of the previous reposts.
Synard
Why do people use that awful font?
Rulweylan
iPhone: much the same content as Android, years later, a bit prettier and much more expensive.
ICantDrive
Yes but does any other phone have an apple on the back? Who wouldn't pay $500 extra for a logo?
lysani
"Who wouldn't pay $500 extra for a logo?" Anyone with common sense.
ICantDrive
Exactly
ghostbuster55
I have an Android for personal use and an Iphone for work. Android is a lot better in every way.
SirLucifer616
Everyone except for my father uses Samsung Phones. He uses the iPhone 7. Boggles my mind how he still uses it.
RedIronCrown
As an Android user I concede that iPhone has much better aftermarket support. Cases and other accessories are way more available.
lysani
It's a lot easier to pump out countless aftermarket products when there's only a small number of things to produce them for.
RedIronCrown
Yes, that is exactly my point.
TisIChenoir
So you mean apple products are just a shameless cash grab with no added value except the design, whose appreciation is entirely personal?
StupidFreakingName
As an iPhone user: it is absolutely that. I do prefer iOS to android, but after the stunt with no headphone jack, I think I might switch...
pynergelado
iPhone is a phone with a computer built in, android is a computer with a phone built in
confanity
My first thought is, "so you're saying that the iPhone is a completely uncalled-for remake of Android driven by lack of imagination?"
theFinks
Are they saying iphone just copied android's homework?
balisonglord314
More expensive but just not as good
DCLXVI240
Lol I have the pixel XL 2, better camera then iPhone XD
IronKittySlayer
I know the right image is more detailed and realistic, but I like the look of the original a lot more
AShartInTheWind
My iPhone battery last forever, my LG battery would barely last the day.
killerkadoogan
This kind of stuff is always posted but it's usually people comparing the lower end Android rather than ones of more competitive range
WeaponizedJerk
Did he not get the memo? Because the batteries on the latest iphones are pretty fucking amazing...
CliffordJohnsonMiller
I don't get the circlejerk about apple quality. Their cameras are nowhere near the new pixel's and their screens aren't full HD on the XR.
nothingspecialhere
The unnecessary and expensive version of something that was already great?
Yinyang107
But iPhones predate Android.
phonoodle415
I dont get it. My note looks fuckn amazing
lessthankris
Not an Apple fan but Statistically Apple phones have on average a better charge and lifespan.
PrescriptionPants
This is completely inaccurate
lessthankris
It has to do with the them making the software and the hardware as well as the limit in types of hardware. Makes it easier to optimize.
lessthankris
Similar to how consoles are able to squeeze decent performance out of inferior hardware as compared to PC.
WhyAmIHereIShouldBeWorking
I never understood the android vs apple thing. They're just phones, they do the same shit but have a different label.
Snooj
I have an iPhone. It makes phone calls, Google Maps functions, and I can email from it. And play WWF. What am I missing?
prodmerc
Ability to use it as a generic storage device and play with the internals (overclock/undervolt, change firmware, custom ROMs) pretty much
gljames24
It's because of Apple's anticonsumer business practices. The ecosystem is designed to make it difficult to leave and everything is overprice
WeaponizedJerk
Oh please, the hate and the whole android vs apple war started WAY before Apple started getting really bad. The whole thing is childish.
downwiththesystem
Apple doesn't let developers make apps available outside of their app store, Google lets developers outside the play store (though users 1/
downwiththesystem
usually have to disable a security setting, and it is of course riskier, though bad apps can get through both platforms). 2/2
WeaponizedJerk
......I see plenty of apps on both iOS and android at the same time, what the fuck are you on about?
ICantDrive
An iPS user can only install iOS apps from the app store, while Android users can install Android apps through APK's from anywhere.
bluemyles
There is a huge difference in the UI/UX design philosophies. IoS is very opinionated and closed whereas android is far more customizable.
AnythingMuchShorter
Some people base their identity too much around little choices that don't matter much because they have little to actually be proud of.
JHawke
Tasker, wether you use it is a different story, but android can do MUCH more than iphone. Of course that point is moot when not used.
prodmerc
Too complicated for the average user. Imagine being able to power up your computer and unlock it when you enter the house. Who needs that?
Counterfit
Tasker is powerful, but kind of a pain to set up
Vedar
Same as a football team really.
PirateRubberDuck
Except they are not. Android is an operating system used for phones, tablets and even laptops. The iPhone is a phone.
tablecat
Oh fuck off. When you're limited to 140 characters, "phones powered by the Android operating system" is just too long.
PirateRubberDuck
You are still refering to anything from the most basic of phones to ones that are better than an iPhone in every way.
confanity
It's easier for Apple to sell overpriced, easily-broken boutique goods if they build up a rabid cult who hate all the competition on reflex.
FuckMeThenYou
99% of people i know that has an i-phone it is simply because they want a phone that works and easy to use
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Android phones also work and are easy to use. They just want an easily recognizable name brand.
FuckMeThenYou
Some are, and a lot aren't.
jameson216
A big difference is the Snapchat app which is built for iOS. Android versions take screenshots of photos and drastically reduces quality
tablecat
Not in the latest beta, afaik
jameson216
Oh good! Do you know when it was released?
tablecat
A good while ago. Last month? Not sure, I don't use Android myself.
5TUP1D
Lol all my friends with iPhones ask me to take pics with my android because the quality is better
UsamaroBunny
What android do you have? My old one took the shittiest pictures unless it was in bright daylight
FusYoDah
Try the OnePlus 6t, it's a top notch phone for a fairly low price
5TUP1D
Galaxy S7
ProcrastinatingWork
Three versions ago phone is still better then iphones! funny.
tablecat
The S7 is absolutely not better than iPhones, unless you're comparing to 6S or 7. 8 and above VERY much beats the S7.
5TUP1D
That's where you're wrong kiddo
StupidFreakingName
It’s the opposite for me. Everyone in my family asks me to take pictures because my iPhone has better photo quality than their phones.
Animorphs
Me too but my dad is using a blackberry still so may be kind of a moo point.
DrClaww
I have a potato and nobody asks me to take pictures, so i eat the potato
Camelspotting
At this point the difference in camera between top androids and iPhones is pretty much negligible.
DaMummy
Because people with a family won't spend $1200 to do what their $100 device can do.
MateriaCaelestis
Does people with families talk about things they are ill equipped to understand?
StupidFreakingName
So first off, I’m using the iPhone SE. That’s several generations back, and it was already old when I bought it. Before that, I had the 4s >

GordonDunkley
It's almost like there are different phones with different capabilities. Android phone and iPhone doesn't actually tell you anything.
zacktothefuture
Are they using iphone4's? iPhone 10 cameras are way beyond any Android. If you say otherwise you're lying to yourself
WilliamHag
iPhone 10 camera isn't even better than the pixel 2 let alone the pixel 3.
thirdcoast
Have both s9 and iPhone 10. They're close in quality, but the so pics are more crisp and better color, just not by much
thirdcoast
S9 not so
Jaintman
I'm an Android fan but I must say that the iPhone camera software has always been amazing, hardware wise they can be comparable if you
Jaintman
Include the entire world market of Android phones and not just US available ones
ping0s
Lmao, no, iPhone can't hold a match to Pixel camera's since they came out.
WilliamHag
I think Apple has surpassed the original pixel but not the 2 or 3 yet.
Bloodgroup
Ya that's not true at all. People need to stop comparing $1400 iPhone cameras to $200 Android phones. Compare it to an Android flagship.
Bloodgroup
The pixel has a better camera than any iPhone and the note 9 is pretty close to the iPhone. They all take great pictures.
iheartsookiestjames
Thank you! I have a Huawei p20pro and it makes the iPhone X camera look like shit when taking pictures in dim light.
conkles
If this is about resolution, the Pixel 2 & 3 have WAY better pixel density than retina screens. This is dumb.
Cayenne26
Butthurt
cousteau
But my cheap ass phone has less. Take that!
HalfOpenSkies
523 pixels per inch (Pixel 3L) vs 458 ppi (iphone XS)... That’s close enough to not notice.
Beefybignippss
I work in tech support for phones and since the pixels have come out I can’t count how many I’ve had to replace that phone is garbage ????
Baruder0
Yeah I bought mine for better vacation pictures and it stopped working day 1 of the trip. They sent a replacement that was also bad
Polysingular
I bought a blackberry storm back in the day. Worst phone I’ve ever had. The pixel 3 has a very low bar to limbo under
AmberAmscramblesAnderson
As a pixel user... Yup
dirtyward420
got that pixel 3 when it was buy one get one and damn it's amazing
catwilsonaz
Missed that deal but got my whole family $400 off Pixel 2s on Cyber Monday
dirtyward420
nice
AmberAmscramblesAnderson
I want it. I've got the 2xl and it's amazing. Surprised it's not more popular.
dirtyward420
I was always a motorola guy, was due for an upgrade and when they had buy one get one I said fuck it and bought
AmberAmscramblesAnderson
Awesome. Just an FYI you can sign up to be a beta tester if you own pixel. You get updates and stuff first!!
boja1994
I heard there were bugs with the pixel 3 have they fixed it
AmberAmscramblesAnderson
Honestly I work for a big cellphone company and people aren't complaining... So there is that.
dirtyward420
I honestly haven't experienced any issues with it
boja1994
Sweet then I can upgrade finally I've been waiting for the pixel 3 now I just need my paycheck
ProcrastinatingWork
Samsung is better too... Yeah dumb
EdibleLiquid
If this is about resolution why are you watching a movie on a phone
Treblaine
"I'm too lazy to hold my head up, I'm just going to lay in bed with my phone propped up on pillows"
edisrevir
Pixel density
vedran
Having better resolution on smartphones is cool if you use them for viewing 3D or VR movies with cardboard and so.
Yozzoy
Plane rides, assuming I don't feel like playing Switch
Ziexoro
I like using my phone as a demonstration as what hdr does. (pixel 2) I can convince everyone the difference is like light and day.
maxwilder
What is the difference between light and day?
Ziexoro
I realize mistakes were made in phrasing..
trs451
Does it work well at night?
Ziexoro
Oh.. I see what I did... Disregard my first comment..
Ziexoro
Better question is if it works well in sunlight. The qualities of hdr is dependant on how bright you're phone screen can go.
trs451
Well it depends on the dynamic range of the camera. I'm just curious about nightime/long exposures. How does it go about compiling it
Ziexoro
Are you talking about me using it as a camera to demonstrate hdr? I meant by showing already made examples of hdr from youtube.
WhatzitTooya
People need a reasons why it was a good decision to spend $1459 on a phone they use for instagram and whatsapp...

FoodAndAlcoholism
Do you have proof of this or are you just claiming without evidence?
lysani
My old Galaxy S6 has a higher resolution than Apples new flagship iPhone X apparently...
HelloMax
Have fun replacing it. What’s cheaper, 1 iPhone or 2 Pixels?
EndersdoyouthinkthisisafuckingGame
Just watched the end of the MSU/Louisville game on a guy's Pixel. Incredible clarity and framerate! Now I want one.
captainhansolo
Just FYI new iPhones have the OLED display I got a android but I ain’t stupid best screens on the market lol
RedIronCrown
I've been using OLED screens on Android since the original Galaxy S. Apple was way late to the OLED party.
JHawke
Nop, the newest one has LCD.
Tsamane
https://www.apple.com/ca/iphone-xs/display/
JHawke
The xr is newer afaik :p
captainhansolo
XR is the budget iPhone bruh that’s why it cost like 250 less than the other two. . .
sauronater
I use android and hate apple products, but iphones still beat the pixel with camera quality in most situations
Baruder0
I have no loyalty to Android vs Apple but God I hate my pixel 2. Have had 2 go bad in a year and customer service wasn't spectacular
SanderTheStrange
Can confirm. Not to mention that the battery life lasts me a full day++
bobtheaxolotl
Not that it matters much on a screen that size, but yeah, Apple's displays are surpassed by multiple Android phones.
JustDewIt
See this isn't really fair because Android covers more than one manufacturer and apple is expensive.
Srirachachachachachachachacha
Listen closely, 12 year olds.
justadude41123
so is the lion king remake, you still gon watch it tho
JustDewIt
And sing along to the soundtrack.
SincerelyHated
It also has some of the worst camera resolutions on phones today
PersonalDildo
Apple can be cheap or expensive
Crawmak
Name one Apple product released at a lower-to-middle class affordable price in the last 10 years.
JustDewIt
As much as I dislike apple, Ipod/Ipod shuffle were very reasonable, and help revolutionize the way we listen to music.
PersonalDildo
EarPods
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
They are not cheap.
PersonalDildo
$25 isn't cheap?
chardlz
It's also funny because a large number of flagship android phones have better image quality than iPhone
tablecat
Large number = a couple of phones have arguably better camera sometimes in certain situations.
PandaWaffleking
Had a mate with the iPhone 10 upset with my s9+ which takes non digital pictures and it shredded his. So yeah more than one manufacturer.
PandaWaffleking
Some androids are like 20 dollars and some 1k to higher end 2-10k phones so......
lukasthing9542
Did you pull this information out of your ass or something? Have you ever looked at phone prices?
GordonDunkley
10k phones? Unless you start customizing gold and diamond studs.
Camelspotting
I hate to break it to you but that's a Polaroid, not a Samsung Galaxy.
RandomAbscessMemories
Non... digital?
PandaWaffleking
Replied to another comment but my bad. Meant its dual aperature lense based camera. Which is used up to 2x zoom.
tablecat
But... iPhones have optical zoom as well
bortlp
Yeah man, it takes analog pictures. You load it with film and send it off to be developed. Unless you have your own dark room, of course.
geewizznicesniz
I lold
Sauroctonus
Maybe they meant the zoom. Digital zoom just scales the image.
RandomAbscessMemories
That does make more sense.
PandaWaffleking
Yeah my bad. Meant its dual aperature camera. A physical lense based camera that is used up to 2x soon after that its digital zoom.
SoupCanMan
Android making polaroids? News to me.
MisterLemons
Android is an OS, Apple is a brand with their own proprietary OS.
Iamnotgoingtopostbadthingsagain
It's even Samsung that make the parts, ignorance is a bitch...
EveryoneWhoDisagreesWithMeIsLiterallyHitler
Foxcon makes all of apples stuff. Also, Samsung is garbage. Buy HTC.
7HIris
Parts, they said parts. Putting it all together is different from component manufacturing
tablecat
That would be a fine recommendation 7 years ago lma
pynergelado
You have that wrong, when HTC phones were owned by HTC they were awful, they're better now that they are google but samsung is still king
EveryoneWhoDisagreesWithMeIsLiterallyHitler
HTC phones were better when they weren't owned by HTC. I stand by what I said. Samsung is trash.
chardlz
Ive only had samsung phones for the past decade practically, they're wonderful
TheAvatard
From my Samsung experience, the hardware team is incredible. Software team is incredibly frustrating.
daellat
Agreed I ran the nexus devices for a reason, now the pixel line is not released in my country. S7 now, not so much bloatware but still there
TheOtherGod
"Samsung" is not Android.
Tikityler
Samsung makes parts that the iPhone uses.
IlluminaBlade
I think he means iphone parts.
wadatahmydamie
The iPhone isn’t more expensive than any other flagship phone.
bobtheaxolotl
It's more expensive than a good number of them, similar price to the most expensive Android flagships.
bobtheaxolotl
At least any but the budget iphones.
wadatahmydamie
Thank you for repeating my comment in different words.
bobtheaxolotl
Except I didn't. I pointed out that it's more expensive than many flagship phones. Go take a remedial English comprehension course.
SavageRancor
Sorry what? The iPhone xs max costs $2100 vs the note 9 for 1600.... YES THEY FUCKING ARE
SavageRancor
That's nNew Zealand dollars before you Americans forget the forest of the world exists
Raenon
US dollars are the world's reserve currency. $ generally means USD in mixed groups unless specified. Just being realistic.
SavageRancor
Ummm k thanks? Don't see how that helps
wadatahmydamie
The Samsung Galaxy X is the most expensive phone in New Zealand, at $2,564. No, they “fucking” aren’t.
SavageRancor
The galaxy X isn't a flagship phone tho... you can't buy it in retail here... I thought that is what we were comparing...
SavageRancor
XS MAX 512GB 2899 fight me
wadatahmydamie
https://amp.priceme.co.nz/iPhone-XS-Max-512GB/p-902952743.aspx Stop lying.
SavageRancor
You can buy that at retail level.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
yes it is, not by much, but it is still more expensive.
wadatahmydamie
There are mainstream phones more expensive than the iPhone. It’s on the upper end, but not at the top. Except for in performance.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
What phones are more expensive ? i can't find them. LG, Sony, Samsung, Pixle, Oneplus all cheaper than the iphone.
idonthaveanyideawhatthehelliamtalkingabout
And then i am talking about the flagship phones in each one.
wadatahmydamie
The HTC desire is over $2,000. Off the top of my head. If you’re curious, I’ll leave the rest to you.
Chloesaurus
But the Pixel has better resolution than the iPhone... So it's actually backwards.
wadatahmydamie
Resolution hasn’t mattered for nearly a decade, ever since the 300ppi threshold was crossed. And the difference is marginal.
daellat
but the "meme" is still backwards and the fact that it's trying to make that point that there is a difference makes it funnier.
wadatahmydamie
Not really, because again, the iPhone is objectively faster and more powerful. A dozen odd pixels doesn’t change that.
wadatahmydamie
You fanboys are a hoot.
Oliv1
The best iPhone on market is more expensive than Samsung Galaxy S9+ and Samsung is better or equal in every parameter.
Upinthecold
It's like you guys haven't heard of Huawei and their flagships. Never got iPhone cause they are a joke, always had galaxy until p20pro
wadatahmydamie
Except performance. https://www.tomsguide.com/us/galaxy-note-9-benchmarks,news-27773.html
Slendermansneighbor
That is the note 9, not the s9+
wadatahmydamie
https://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-xs-iphone-xs-max-benchmarks,review-5745.html my mistake.
wadatahmydamie
My mistake. I’m still right, but here’s the S9+ comparison. https://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-xs-iphone-xs-max-benchmarks,review-5745.html
Oliv1
These are "lab" test. In real, everyday usage there is no difference
DragosCristurean
I bet you can feel the difference when you use it.
JustDewIt
He did specify S9+
wadatahmydamie
https://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-xs-iphone-xs-max-benchmarks,review-5745.html
DavidBrooker
I think it's more "you get what you pay for". There are plenty of flagship Androids in the same price range as top-of-the-line iPhones.
snarebears
Oh? I work selling phones. Can you tell me which ones I must be missing from my stock that are more expensive than "top of the line" iPhones
snarebears
Becuase I've got nothing that can match the Canadian price for the 256 iPhone xs max that starts at 2049.99
JustDewIt
Yes, not dismissing the high price for some phones in the android market, I'm in the second year of using a Asus ZenFone zoom, I'm cheap.
DavidBrooker
Went from Zenfone to Pixel 3 XL this year. Oddly enough, I went from a grad student position to a faculty position... maybe correlated.
Astral134
My parents "Why does my phone keep showing me ads?" Cuz that's what you paid for. Cheap android phone.
lovesbootytoomuch
Those are the apps, make him delete the last one he download.
Astral134
No, it really is just a cheap android. And if an app can send ads outside itself, then I guess that's a check against Android. Disgusting
[deleted]

stja
But the thing with Apple is you don't get what you pay for. They sell low quality product at high price.
ToastyLeggings
People are just paying for the brand 'Apple' not the product itself. It's what they know and trust, there's a reason for the short 1/...
ToastyLeggings
Battery life, to encourage repeat purchases from the consumers
DavidBrooker
To be honest, I haven't looked too closely at Apple's phones. I only use Android. But on the PC front, I did take a close look and they 1/n
DavidBrooker
aren't totally unreasonable, when you include their higher-end displays and usually custom form-factors. What really pushed me away was 2/n
DavidBrooker
not purchase price value, but that their service/support structure is totally unacceptable for pro users. I just use Dell and Microsoft. 3/3
JustDewIt
I'd say they overprice a lot of it, but its still a decent product, their customer relationship and business practices are what turn me away
DavidBrooker
Seriously. Its completely unacceptable. For a work machine customers can't accept downtime. But Apple doesn't allow technicians to stock 1/2
DavidBrooker
spare parts, so even you have a bad component, you can't just swap it: you make an order *after* it breaks, and wait three weeks. That 2/3
chardlz
The general rule is that iPhone is about 2 years behind flagship androids for most tech and features
tablecat
Ehh, that doesn't work as a general rule. They were first to do PROPER facial recognition good fingerprint scanners, for example.
lukasthing9542
"top of the line" iPhones. All of them are all the same shit for the same price.... What are you on about.
DerpKugel
The only people that buy Apple products are people that either know nothing of tech or needs it for a special purpose.. Apple is crap
PersonalDildo
No they're not lmao
idontlikepickingusername
I think they meant was when released they are all pretty much flagships, whereas "Android" phones have cheaper variants
PersonalDildo
Which is fucking stupid to make that comparison to start with. Why should one company be responsible to make shitty and awesome phones
DavidBrooker
The iPhone line ranges from about $700 to $1500 (CAD, FWIW). All of these count as "high end", but to say they're all the same is silly.
RamsesMCMXCI
700 bucks of Apple's "low end" is still within flag ship price of most Android manufacturers. You are paying for the logo and the ecosystem
DavidBrooker
Do you feel like I'm promoting Apple? All I'm saying is that the iPhone line fits entirely within Android - it's bounds are smaller. And 1/2
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
That's why I buy Motorola. Awesome specs for 3-400 less
PersonalDildo
Fuck that, the Droid line sucks complete ass, had 3 of them, reason I switched to iPhones
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
Blame that on Verizon. Their the ones who basically own the droid line. All the Verizon exclusive Motos suck nuts
maddenedmage
I am absolutely impressed with my Moto. It's tough as heck too. I don't even need a case or screen protector.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
Yep. Moto Droid 1, Moto G, and now X4. All the other brands of owned in between were terrible especially with the garbage custom UI
