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

Does Tapatalk stutter on your Android phone?

(You said you'd never used it before)

I used to use the MyBroadband app on Android - but it’s not great on iOS. I was told to use Tapatalk instead.

So to answer you, never tried - but will try over the weekend

We really don't, because the majority of people who observe reality know it's true. And by that I mean iPhone dominates the middle to upper class socio-economic bracket, i.e. people with better education, jobs, life experience/s, affordability, etc.

These types could not care less if an app opens 0.1 seconds faster or if a camera is slightly sharper when pixel peeping. They want devices that come with a guarantee of just working and saving them time, which allows them to become more successful in having more time to makw money, spend time with their loved ones, with their hobbies, passions, etc.

I think comments like this made me feel there as a huge difference.

There both is and was. Give it time and you will find out. And high-end Androids have largely caught up.

Like the two here in the office with iPhone SE 2020's that need to keep them plugged in. One even afraid to plug it into his laptop because the thing kept shutting down. I told him to plug it into the printer lol. Keep drinking that cool aid though.

Oh there are studies all over about money & iPhones.

According to WalletHub’s 2018 Credit Score and iPhone survey, nearly 28 million Americans believe that getting one of the Apple iPhones to be introduced this week is worth going into debt to purchase.

Apple is a status symbol, not only because of its price, its demands, and its technology but also because people choose to make it a status symbol. It is a status symbol because we care so much to what other people might say or think towards us.

Many people, including experts, believe that anyone carrying an iPhone is rich. Why so? iPhone is named among things that are an acceptable symbol of wealth not only in America but also across the world. It’s seen as a reliable indicator that a person carrying it lies in the high-income category. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the individual is loaded with cash, but the owner is ready to offer something to have it.

The demand for Apple products is equally strong in India, where the iPhone has become a fully fledged status symbol for consumers

And the old @Dolby we know returns.

This thread has now lost its appeal. :sleep:

They brought up money and wealth with an iPhone - and I agreed?

I agree though, it doesn’t belong in this thread. But it seems that nothing negative should be either.

If I say I feel something is wrong or could be better, it becomes an issue. For sure example I genuinely believe that they should have a separate iMessage app and remove SMS. I would definitely use it where I could.

Now though? It’s pretty pointless as the chats are lost in SMSs

Yeah I responded reflexively, sorry. But it’s still a damn tired and boring argument. I could even agree with you to a degree but it certainly doesn’t apply to me.

I’m not going to down the money road here anyhow.

Anyway I’m going to convert my Gmail contacts to iCloud contacts quick

But it's you who is attributing that to everything else.

Let's also not forget that pride and love of all things America/n (especially quality products which complement our daily lives), as well as keeping up with the Joneses, is baked into American culture.

To those who care, all expensive things are status symbols. You should see people with foldable Samsungs!
