Lol no one is surprised there. It's a great way to illustrate my point though. Even just 1-2 years after that first iphone released you could buy phones for far less money that had many more features. Hell even my $40 blackberry could do way more things than the first iphone did, it was basically only lacking a shiny ass touchscreen. I was more than happy to accept the trade-offs and returned my second gen iphone happily after feeling scammed. Went from a shiny toy with a half day battery life to a very useful tool for 1/5 the price whose battery lasted 2 entire days.
Maybe your extreme fanboy-ism has made you forget that the original iPhone didn't have copy and paste or apps, but it's the truth. Maybe you forget that it took the iphone like 12 years to release a phone with a decent camera, but it's true. That original iPhone was extraordinarily limited and overpriced and the same applies today. I can buy dozens of different products for less money than an iphone despite the fact that the iphone is far more locked down and limited and mostly meh in terms of features.
I might not be an apple fanboy, and i might have disagreed with the other poster who bought these two vision pro devices on it being a good idea this early, but you are going waay too hard on this. Your dislike of apple products seems misguided. All touch screen smart phones were awful back then. I remember a Sony xperia x10 that was android based but didn't even have multi-touch amongst a lot of other crap at the time.
Apple , as well as all smartphone products, have come an extremely long way since the original iPhone, and i can't realistically call modern iPhones bad phones. They just aren't and haven't been for years. Even though i think they are inferior to some android phones out there now, the margin is tiny and almost unimportant to the point that the only reason not to buy apple is that you dont have any other apple products.
You are being shitty for the purpose of making yourself feel better or above this guy. I dont take issue with them buying 2 vision devices or even buying 1 if thats what they wanted. I just thought it would be a safer bet and more worth it to wait for a few months or until the next generation personally and wanted to throw in my 2 cents.
Pfft
Come on, mate. You know its true.
Yeah I don't really give a shit. Not only did no one ask your opinion, this person pulled the "I feel sorry for your friends and relatives" bullshit. Don't post stupidity on the Internet if you don't want it to be criticized. I'm also perfectly entitled to hate apple, it's quite earned over a 30 year period. They reinforce their shit monopolistic practices weekly
You don't give a shit?
Is that why you are downvoting all of my comments?
And why you keep responding?
And why you argued with that other guy and myself for all of this time?
Ok, mate.
Sure thing, buddy
P.s. this is a social media website/app the whole point is people giving their opinions and weighing in on stuff. That's the literal purpose of these sites... so what are you on about?
I tried not actually responding to you, but yeah you got me. I care so fucking much that you're an apple simp looking to butt in. Your opinion is vital to my existence. I tried to hide it but it's true.
Havent had an apple product since the ipod nano. I have a samsung galxy fold 3. Before that, I had a huawei p30 pro, and before that, a p20 pro. Before that, google pixel and vefore that a nexus 7 and before that a galaxy s4 mini and before that an s2...
Nice one, mate.
