No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Compare using a 5 year old galaxy to a 5 year old iPhone tho. Hard to beat the iPhone longevity and software support
Battery is definitely a longevity concern on iPhones. Most people I know with iPhones are tethered to a charger when traveling or camping and other heavy use days.
But I mean also, despite right to repair concerns, apple has a large network of first party service centers that will do battery replacement for old phones at a pretty reasonable price.
Plus with modern fast charging, it never feels like much of an issue. I get basically all day battery from a 20 minute charge during my morning coffee.
Wasn't Apple the one that kickstarted the trend of non-replaceable batteries? And glued-in batteries that you need to take the whole phone apart? And also the trend of serialising batteries to phone so that you can only use 1st party ones and they'll scream error messages at you?
Before the stinking iPhone, you could buy a new battery for 20€$£ and swap it in 20 seconds. Apple isn't the good guys for now charging you who knows how much for a service that's designed to get you to buy a new phone.
No corporation is the “good guy”
Every product has trade offs and it all depends on what you personally value in your device
True, so let's not praise them for creating a problem and selling you the solution.
Despite that, people typically keep their iPhones much longer than they keep android phones. 3 years of software support is considered good for androids. iPhones get 6
People keep saying that, but when I look around, I mostly see either 5-years old 2nd hand phones with all kinds of cracked screens, or 200€ Samsungs that you get with a 15€ contract.
I could theorise that people keep Iphones longer because they cost a grand, while you can get a perfectly serviceable Android for 200. Except that's not what I'm seeing either. Most people who buy new iphones are shallow shampoo fanatics who need to have the latest bling, and shell our 1600 every year for a new X Pro Max Ultra Gold Fart. And the "old" one than goes to someone else for 1/3 the price, who might indeed keep it for 5 years. But the same goes with Android too anyway.
Basically I wouldn't be surprised if all that was another myth Apple keeps in circulation to make themselves look better. Just like that iMessage nonsense.
