A week with Apple ...

[Romeo_RX]

I DO like it - but look at it from my side :

After years of people telling me how many years ahead this phone, it’s a bit disappointing that within the first 2 weeks to see screen stutter, apps opening slower and having 4 or so crashes.

I just expected more.

You kept on telling me that all the iPhone buzz was just “marketing” and you were incredibly adamant about that. So for you to now say that your high expectations were let down…

Where’s the contradiction?

Oh the fukking drama…

Get over yourself @Dolby

Learn to use the device and control it, or move on.

If you believed the hype you carry on about, you are really naive AF.

You really do not want to like it and are doing everything you can to convince yourself you are right.
It is actually OK not to like it for whatever reason you choose.

I’m learning to use it

Don’t you think the fact you cannot easily select transactions by month a bit of an issue for a budget app? That’s a pretty key feature.

And as for the speed, I’m not too concerned. But again, the A15 should be 1,000% or so faster than my old Android. Then you Google and think ‘is there something wrong with my phone?’


The iPhone is an engineering marvel powered by sheer innovation. Time and time again, Apple has delivered a state-of-the-art smartphone that offers its loyal customers an experience that any other smartphone manufacturer cannot match.

The cheapest iPhone has a more powerful processor than the most expensive Android phone

iPhone X's TrueDepth camera said to be 2.5 years ahead of Android competition

Apple iPhone 12 Pro is miles ahead of Android phones and that is a FACT

Why don't you review the app poorly and reach out to the app developer about this "key" feature? Oh right it's easier to blame my new phone and Apple.

 

[Romeo_RX]

Where’s the contradiction?

So you both believed and disbelieved the hype at the same time?

 

[Dolby]

I have reached out?

It didn’t work at first though, because despite setting Gmail as my default mail, it keep trying to open Mail.

Weird - but I eventually sent it via pc

 

[Dolby]

Oh no.

If you go look I’ve always said the marketing is just that - marketing. It’s kinda BS.

But although I don’t believe the marketing BS, I started to think (based on user comments and reviews) that it was the ‘best’ experience and smoothest interface

And yea, it didn’t live up to that for me.

You can either fight me on it and tell I’m using my phone wrong, or just leave it ?

But I can see them in the list so there’s no need to break it down with a click per month especially.

While it’s a nice feature, the data or an alternative option isn’t lacking. It’s simply a mother way of working.

And as for the speed, I’m not too concerned. But again, the A15 should be 1,000% or so faster than my old Android. Then you Google and think ‘is there something wrong with my phone?’

Nobody else notices this. Nothing is “slow”. This is your incessant need to compare Lamborghinis and Ferraris.

Glad to see you are getting it.

Apple iPhone X onwards is miles ahead of Android phones and that is a FACT

Fixed that for you.

It’s more than a ‘nice’ feature.

22Seven doesn’t get the categories right all the time and its great to switch between the months to see exactly what it consists of. There are errors and that’s a very easy to see.

However as mentioned, I’ve asked them why their experience is worse on the iPhone.

Not slow - slowER. It really wasn’t something I expected. Same as the stutter : it’s just not something mentioned anywhere

Because nobody else is sitting with the stop watching timing their apps, so they would they mention it?

A Lamborghini does 3.11 seconds and a Ferrari does 3.12 seconds and the world ends.

But when that Lamborghini owner says his car is so so so much faster and nothing touches it and brags that the engineering is miles ahead, you’d be forgiven for assuming it’s more than 0,01 seconds. Then when the Ferrari owner buys a Lamborghini and sees it’s slower, I’m sure he’ll question it, right?

What was my other comment that upset you all? That iMessage and SMS can’t be separated? And that set was a ‘troll comment’ as well?

Eish

 

[Romeo_RX]

Processor speed isn’t going to be something that immediately sticks out because developers target the spec, unless you’re gaming or something that would swallow all of the performance available to it. You will notice it more obviously as the years pass because the lowest common denominator processor spec will get faster and apps will begin to take advantage of that. Three years from now your phone will be as fast as the latest Android flagship despite its age.

I can’t say anything about your stutter issues because I’ve never experienced stutter on an iPhone.

Even MKBHD will pick Android when he can only pick one.

Now you suddenly care what MKBHD thinks, when he praises apple you quickly disregard him. A true twat

Eish

If a web page is rendered in 3ms on phone A, and then you render that same web page on phone B in a third of the time, how perceptible is that difference going to be to the average human?

No no no.

You make the mistake that a Lamborghini owner would ever even look at a Ferrari, never mind drive and own one.

Ferraris don’t exist to Lamborghini owners.

Androids aren’t a point of reference for Apple owners, because they don’t exist.

Nobody in Lamborghini land is measuring .1 or even .5 seconds because it’s fast enough that it’s inconsequential and unmeasurable in the real world.

Considering the crap phones you claim to use what would you know about the performance of any non-budget phone? iOS or Android?

For sure on the video - I’ve taken one already, but at 60fps it’s not the most visible . But others have experienced the same.

I used a 3rd party keyboard the 1st week. I reset and haven’t installed another

60fps video should be more than adequate? Please post. Or link to someone else's.

This thread is making me think to reconsider my decision to go back to iPhone when my work upgrade comes due toward the end of the year, lol. My last iPhone was in 2011 I think.

Lol, that would be really unwise.
