OS updates. Itβs frustrating to buy a top of the line android phone just for it to be forgotten by the manufacturer in 6-8 months.
Pixels give you 5 years now same as iphone.
Only security updates.
OS updates are only 3 years
Iphones get a lot more than 3 updates
Yes that is my point.
Pixels only get 3 major version updates which is less than the iPhone
If you use the stock rom, if you install a custom one you get updates as long as the developers continue working which is quite a pong time for some of the ROMs that exist right now
iPhone gets you more like 10 years of security updates

My iPad from 2015 is still getting all the updates. It's wild.
Yeah I think iPad's are clearly better than any android tablet.
Yeah I don't like Apple. Though unfortunately, the iPad is the only useful consumer tablet imo. Android tablets seem to only be good for like integrated uses like a construction tablet with custom software.
And i would love my Ipad even more if i could have the option to install a custom rom to have the customization options that i just loose with ipados
I just want my Nintendo DS emulator back on my iPad :(
Soon, with the next IOS update everyone in the EU will be able to install apps from third party stores
I am so excited for that
Same
This right here. Lifelong Android user that switched to the iPhone 14 and never looked back.
Edit: iPhone 13, not 14, my bad.
My problem with Apple is that everything's designed to interoperate with other Apple stuff, and nothing else. It feels like a walled garden that doesn't just keep users in, but also keeps those of us out who might want to try a single Apple device without spending many thousands replacing our entire ecosystem.
Not necessarily.
You can get one and try it out, the ecosystem stuff is more enhancement than a detriment if you donβt have them.
Like Apple Watch and my MacBook Air, I can authenticate or unlock the screen using my Apple Watch rather than a password. But thatβs just a benefit and I wouldnβt be losing anything but the enhancement if I didnβt have both.
I think they are talkign about if you already have the stuff working with every other device but apple
Literally causing people to get bullied into getting an iphone over stupid chat bubble colors.
Which gets even stupider when you realize apple is being stubborn and that is causing the issue
