This is bait

Funnily enough, I’ve got a few friends who are long time iPhone users, who actually point this stuff out themselves:

“OMG! Have you seen the eye watering price of the new one?”
“Yay, I finally get stuff you’ve had for years.”

Neither party would ever consider anything else, and they both buy the new model every year. 🤷

At this point I admit that my reasons for choosing Android all those years ago no longer exist or matter, but I can’t imagine changing ecosystem either.

Not to be an unfunny nitpicker (I don’t know why I’m denying this, that kinda the whole point), but all iphones do have lossless audio streaming via AirPlay. I’m assuming that you specifically meant Bluetooth streaming, but then you should’ve said so. Furthermore, normal aptx isn’t high resolution, only aptx HD and aptx adaptive are. The phone does support aptx HD as well, but once again, you could’ve said so from the start (though 3 characters more or less might make a significant difference to most memes, this one certainly wouldn’t have had that problem)

Product elitism is dumb.

It was fun before… like 20 years ago. Now it’s just… eh. Apple users don’t care about any of that. They want a device that “just works” and has their ecosystem. They’re trapped in it, but eh, what’s the point. They aren’t going to convert, and after converting some people you learn you just become tech support for them.

Seriously, does anyone think Apple users care about unlocked bootloaders and LDAC codecs? They want whatever the new iOS features are and their AirPods to work seamlessly.

I have an Android phone and an iPhone, and they both do pretty much the same thing. I can do some things with Android that iOS can’t, but it’s nothing an average user couldn’t do without, or even know they’re missing.

Ah, but for only $200 more you can get USB 3.2, which is (…checks notes…) seven year old technology 😂 😭

This misses the point completely, I have tried both Android and iOS in the last five years, and to me iOS is just better, it works like I want it to.

What point?

The point is that Apple pushes out phones with outdated hardware at a premium price. That point is well illustrated here.

I am confused, this is the second reply I get on a comment I deleted just after posting it.

I did so as I realized that I didn’t have the energy to debate my smartphone preference with random people online

Maybe whatever app you’re using isn’t really deleting comments? It’s still showing up fine for me and gaining votes.

It looks deleted to me, I am using Voyager when I am on my phone, so a well known app, I suspect that the comment I wrote made it to the sync queue, I then immediately deleted the comment, which deleted it on lemmy.zip but didn’t clear the comment from the sync queue, but did generate a delete request to be synced.

Then as a sync request probably would be smaller than a comment and probably has a higher priority than a comment, it got processed before the comment was posted, creating the situation we have.

I have no indepth understanding of lemmy, but as an IT guy, this makes sense

It doesn’t look deleted to me.

How would one go about reading the logs on how federation worked in this case? I’m thinking lemmy.ml either missed it did not honor the delete from lemmy.zip

I switched to iOS a few years back because I tried it for a week when my Pixel died, maintained a pros/cons list, and decided iOS works better for me.

The most eye-opening part switching “sides” is how cringe these types of Android users are. Just use what works for you and enjoy life.

Exactly, which is why I deleted the comment just after I made it as I realized I didn’t have the energy to debate the issue
