HeySuperVillainsIGetIt
Not that I agree with what Apple is going. But I bought a wireless charger a couple years ago and things like this are not an issue.
JustTryingToLiveLife
I used to get annoyed when my chargers got bent and stopped working but i found a method to that solution, “dont let it bend”
Jbelkin
Don’t eat your apple devices ...

It comes with a charge cable and a type A to type C adapter is less than $15.
lokishadowgirl
good thing I didn't sell my soul for a $1200 brick of glass
nero4ty2
So no Samsung for you?
my android was $100 and has seen some shit
natticatt
Jesus, how? I still have cables from three iPhones ago in better condition than that and literally give away the headphones.
Dominiricanish
Not to mention you get a new cable with this new phone. Just no brick and headphones.
Atomsk
Yes, when you can afford an iPhone 12, you're not exactly poor. Also included earphones are usually crap.

Almost all comparable phones cost the same now...

When asked "do you want the new apple iphone?" Answer "Baaaaa"
Gestalted
Even though I have a MAC I've had it with their shit and will be going Android next time around.
MightyMouseTech
Why upgrade at all?
I just want the better cameras, only thing that has changed recently in any phone
Biggest reason was the switch from 3G->4G and now 4G->5G. Although it pays to stay a little behind.
Affablesea9917
Why not just buy a camera? You could get a good one for the cost of an iphone
I’ve got multiple slrs and dslrs,all great for planned shoots, but having a great camera in my pocket all the time for random stuff is great
FlyMeToTheSun
Those who buys apples have poor financial management skills anyway
worldling
If you don’t have money and buy Apple, yes. Or you could have great financial success and be able to afford Apple for better data security.
All comparable phones cost the same now...
Same as any other phone, buying things you can’t afford knows no brand

As soon as i heard the news I traded my apple in for the Galaxy S20 Note. This shit is fire. Fuck iPhones.
Sounds pretty childish
Which part? Not wanting to give this greedy ass company any more of my money? 2 years with my iphone 10 andnthe battery was dying.

That sounds like a you problem.... android (even windows phone) can text photos and videos. (maybe you're holding it wrong /s)
It's grainy. Not so on iPhone

Yea my mom has a 6S and it’s still trucking along.
My 5 still works perfectly well for my kids
mynamespaul
My 2016 SE1 is still going strong. Before that I’d a 4 since 2012. I’m notorious for dropping my phone a lot. Apple hardware is good *shrug*
Jordan7831
How else are they going to sell you shit you should already get? - sent from my iPhone 6plus on Canada’s largest wireless network.
What model will you get next? I'm trying to decide & am getting opinions. Thanks for your time!
rpgaff2
What features are you most passionate about? Camera, screen, durability, price, sounds, speed, novelty, feel, brand, ecosystem, etc..

I had to give up my 6s for android because it slowed down so much. The battery sucked even after getting a replacement. The memory was 1/
also vacuumed up by the OS since I had a low gb version. So frustrating.
CommunCreator
Once they declare the version just before yours obsolete, turn off automatic OS updates.
Things I wish I knew years ago. Im happy that I like android too, even if moving my data was a nightmare.
Yes. I have a six still.

Yea I’ve had my six s for 5 going on 6 years with no issues. It’s called taking care of your expensive shit haha
TehBox0rz
My battery tanked. Couldn’t handle being in the cold for 5 minutes before it’d shut down. Hoping the new SE is better
My only problem is that the camera quality is now noticeably worse than the new ones
So have I. What will you get next? Mine is in near perfect condition, but I want a newer one & am trying to decide. Thanks for your time!
No idea. This one shows no signs of slowing down
Bizzer
I was rocking a 5s for years until finally jumping to a 11. Wow-wee! that’s a fun jump! Still using the 5s as a backup/linked connection.
You do like the 11? I still have a 6sPlus and need more memory & just want a newer one. I'm trying to decide between XR & 11... Thanks!
It’s pleasant, the loss of the Home button was weird but is natural now. The lightning headphone are backwards comparable with my 5s.
DonutHolstein
Not including accessories people likely have already is good because it reduces waste, but the price NEEDS to reflect the exclusion

ThanksSir
secretoaster
You know, people who buy apples do this every third release or something. It was the front camera, headphone jack, now charger. Stop buying
What about the front camera? Nobody care about a headphone jack
I mean, buy it. Buy the iPhone 12 at full price. It'll get my stock going up. I have no problem with it. But I'll never do it.
Already have a 12 pro preordered and paid for
Harbltron
Do you work for Apple or do you shill for free? Neither answer is good but one is less embarrassing.
Really just curious about what they mean by front camera, nothing has changed, and a small or action of people care about a jack
Retronyx
The notch in the screen maybe?
Maybe, not a big deal to me, but I don’t completely tie my identity to which device I own so I’ve got no skin in the game
cmonyoulardass
Aren’t Galaxies just as expensive?
Yep
YeOldeImgurian
Guess we should compare features then? Price doesn't equal quality, things can be overpriced.
ButteryButtsButterflyCups
Yes. My $200 3 year old Motorola was pretty cheap and still runs fine. Only con is the camera isnt great
and just one of many brands that use android
Zreen
You can get the J series which is far cheaper
MlSSlNGN0
Replacement batteries are dirt cheap, Android or iPhone
lucidbarrier
There's a bunch of them though. You can get a basic one all the way to the overpriced flagship unit. Universal micro and C usb cables
Brucecori2
Yeah they've definitely gotten to be just as expensive. Because they knew they could be. Because they saw what people were paying for apple.
Thanks, Apple!
Wheretheresawill89
Yeah but they still come with a charger and head phone jack.... For now
Captaintippie
New 20s dont have jacks I dont think. But at least they still have chargers
lysani
Have a Note10+ and there's no headphone jack. Instead, the included earbuds are USB-C and it includes a 3.5mm to USB-C dongle.
kingjurian
Yeah but Samsung is not an enthusiast phone anymore. People are going to brands like OnePlus, Oppo, Asus..etc
trelf
Had no idea Asus is in the phone market.
somedudeyoumightknow
Pixels aren't.
Got my pixel 3a for <$300 new. running android 11, runs good, couldn't be happier. well, it COULD have a SD card slot, but can't win em' all
serban1703
Pixel 4 list price is $699. Iphone 11 list price is $699. After promotion they're both in 450-550 range.
But not the 4a
True, but the 11 and the 4 were marketed around the same level. The 3a and 4a are much better pixels imo
i hope they'll keep the a series going. They really stick true to the 1 and 2 market/design philosophy.
Cheomesh
Yeah I like my 3a. My wife's seems to have a sketchy battery though.
dogboybastard
They know this and you'll have to buy more. They also know you're too much of a bitch to leave.
Why leave something you like? I have dozens of cords and plugs, my kids won’t need to buy one
NoOddJob
the old plugs do not charge nearly as fast as the old ones
Who gives a shit, it’s a charger, plug it in when you go to sleep like a norm and you’ll have no issues with other chargers
nevertrustawetfart
It's either Android or iPhone, so we're all bitches.
IPhone is apple - period. A shitton of manufacturers make Android devices so you have choices. Can even make your own.
I have a galaxy s20 plus btw
Wasn't the personal you ;-) more the apple fanatics
Lynith
Honestly, Samsung is the new Apple. A $350 Pixel4A can do 99.9% of what you'll do on a Samsung/Apple. And it's 1/3 the price.
Yeah, but you can easily swap between Samsung ecosystem and android. Not so much for Apple. Plus, Samsung has cheap versions.
layingsteamypipe
I am not an apple fanatic, but I am too much of a bitch to leave. My tiny brain doesn’t want to learn a new phone system.
DefinitelyNotHavingAMeltdown
Shatter every few months. The settings are a little different but nothing the average person can't Google.
I'm gonna be honest, I've used both apple and samsung phones...they aren't that different. The main difference is my samsung screen doesn't
If my 65 year old Mother can switch from iPhone to a Pixel4A without issue, you can too. ;)
Haha you give me hope
cobjob
That's why i never jumped to apple
fuznotfuz
Not defending Apple. But if you have $1200 you can plunk down on a phone…you probably have disposable cash. Just saying.
PhailRaptor
Most carriers don't even allow you to buy your phone out-right, you have to pay it off as part of your bill. And in today's world, if ->
-> you don't have a cell phone (not necessarily a smartphone) you might as well not be part of society.
To be fair, not a lot of people pay that price up front, most do the monthly payment plan with their carrier.
NotHerrVonClaussen
People moan about the whole Apple vs Android debate, but this is why people dont do apple. Its designed to drain your $ every generation.
Same as their competitors
Yeah android's proprietary accessories really fuck me in the wallet.... oh wait...
Lightning cords are the same price as any other
I can't plug my keyboard in with a lightning cable.
thealexuser
Android is at version 10 now: featurefull and bugfree at this point. Why would anyone still buy an iPhone?
Thanks for the responses. Looks like the android and apple camps have pretty much balanced out at this point.
izzy84075
Android 11 launched in September.
etcnotect
I just updated to 11
moeojelly
TBH I just got the 10 update two days ago and I know that my LG G7 will never see 11 so whereas my iPod touch got updated the day iOS 14
was released
If you still use an iPod touch, I doubt this new product is directed to you.
betterave
I got a used iPhone 6 for my birthday and I’m happy as a clam.
l0calh0st
Because Apple supports their devices for more than half a year?
My pixel 3a just got the update to Android 11, and that phone was discontinued on July 1, 2020. hows that for support?
Mind you, this phone was released may last year, and I'm still running on the latest release of android & running well at that.
The iPhone 6 just got upgraded to iOS 14. Tell me about the lifecycle please.
couldn't tell you, this is my first pixel. it's flawless though so far... well, apart from the lack of an SD card slot. I also would rather>
my phone not get updated if it's hardware isn't capable of running the new OS without becoming sluggish.
So is iPhone, on their 13th gen, works flawlessly
Cept for when it intentionally nerfs you battery so you have to buy a new one
Doesn’t really happen, but thanks for posing
It did happen. They only admitted it after the EU fined them $27 million for it. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-51413724
I've had nothing but problems with my Android. Why can't Android text photos and video? It's 2020
android can text photos and video..... maybe you're holding it wrong?
They come out grainy. It's a problem with lots of Androids.
we meet again. try another app, I like Textra, it has lots of cool stuff.
Still doesn't work properly. iMessage is better.
That's also not the only problem I've had with Android. Never had any problems when I was using iPhone.

You could always...not buy Apple.

The only reason people buy Apple is because their first device was one, and they bought it because they assumed price=quality.

Dude. They lost me when they took the headphone jack. The fuck you do that for?!?!?

Cold take here - I've never had an iPhone and fine with that. Samsung is the shit.

What carrier you do you have? My friend recommended the Pixel. I'm on Verizon.
I'm on Google Fi. It's cheap, but it has been dependable.
funny, I just bought a Pixel 3a earlier this year because it was the only one with a headphone jack on Fi (at the time)
I miss my SD card slot, but other than that, pretty solid phone. still lacks lots of stuff I miss like removable batteries, but you know...

Why not just have a single use phone, non rechargeable. When it dies, you have to get a new one.

Shouldn't that be $149.99?

Na, 149,99 is the two pack with the special edition sticker added in.

My 2016 SE1 is still going strong. Before that I’d a 4 since 2012. I’m notorious for dropping my phone a lot. Apple hardware is good *shrug*

How else are they going to sell you shit you should already get? - sent from my iPhone 6plus on Canada’s largest wireless network.

What model will you get next? I'm trying to decide & am getting opinions. Thanks for your time!

What features are you most passionate about? Camera, screen, durability, price, sounds, speed, novelty, feel, brand, ecosystem, etc..

Get whatever is free from your carrier.

I had to give up my 6s for android because it slowed down so much. The battery sucked even after getting a replacement. The memory was 1/

also vacuumed up by the OS since I had a low gb version. So frustrating.

Once they declare the version just before yours obsolete, turn off automatic OS updates.

My only problem is that the camera quality is now noticeably worse than the new ones

No idea. This one shows no signs of slowing down

I was rocking a 5s for years until finally jumping to a 11. Wow-wee! that’s a fun jump! Still using the 5s as a backup/linked connection.

You do like the 11? I still have a 6sPlus and need more memory & just want a newer one. I'm trying to decide between XR & 11... Thanks!
Bizzer
It’s pleasant, the loss of the Home button was weird but is natural now. The lightning headphone are backwards comparable with my 5s.
DonutHolstein
Not including accessories people likely have already is good because it reduces waste, but the price NEEDS to reflect the exclusion

secretoaster
You know, people who buy apples do this every third release or something. It was the front camera, headphone jack, now charger. Stop buying
nero4ty2
What about the front camera? Nobody care about a headphone jack
secretoaster
I mean, buy it. Buy the iPhone 12 at full price. It'll get my stock going up. I have no problem with it. But I'll never do it.
nero4ty2
Already have a 12 pro preordered and paid for
Harbltron
Do you work for Apple or do you shill for free? Neither answer is good but one is less embarrassing.
nero4ty2
Really just curious about what they mean by front camera, nothing has changed, and a small or action of people care about a jack
Retronyx
The notch in the screen maybe?
nero4ty2
Maybe, not a big deal to me, but I don’t completely tie my identity to which device I own so I’ve got no skin in the game
cmonyoulardass
Aren’t Galaxies just as expensive?
nero4ty2
Yep
YeOldeImgurian
Guess we should compare features then? Price doesn't equal quality, things can be overpriced.
ButteryButtsButterflyCups
Yes. My $200 3 year old Motorola was pretty cheap and still runs fine. Only con is the camera isnt great
Dionysus187
and just one of many brands that use android
Zreen
You can get the J series which is far cheaper
MlSSlNGN0
Replacement batteries are dirt cheap, Android or iPhone
lucidbarrier
There's a bunch of them though. You can get a basic one all the way to the overpriced flagship unit. Universal micro and C usb cables
Brucecori2
Yeah they've definitely gotten to be just as expensive. Because they knew they could be. Because they saw what people were paying for apple.
ObliqueRay
Thanks, Apple!
Wheretheresawill89
Yeah but they still come with a charger and head phone jack.... For now
Captaintippie
New 20s dont have jacks I dont think. But at least they still have chargers
lysani
Have a Note10+ and there's no headphone jack. Instead, the included earbuds are USB-C and it includes a 3.5mm to USB-C dongle.
kingjurian
Yeah but Samsung is not an enthusiast phone anymore. People are going to brands like OnePlus, Oppo, Asus..etc
trelf
Had no idea Asus is in the phone market.

Pixels aren't.
Drives11
Got my pixel 3a for <$300 new. running android 11, runs good, couldn't be happier. well, it COULD have a SD card slot, but can't win em' all
serban1703
Pixel 4 list price is $699. Iphone 11 list price is $699. After promotion they're both in 450-550 range.
somedudeyoumightknow
But not the 4a
serban1703
True, but the 11 and the 4 were marketed around the same level. The 3a and 4a are much better pixels imo
serban1703
i hope they'll keep the a series going. They really stick true to the 1 and 2 market/design philosophy.
Cheomesh
Yeah I like my 3a. My wife's seems to have a sketchy battery though.
dogboybastard
They know this and you'll have to buy more. They also know you're too much of a bitch to leave.
nero4ty2
Why leave something you like? I have dozens of cords and plugs, my kids won’t need to buy one
NoOddJob
the old plugs do not charge nearly as fast as the old ones
nero4ty2
Who gives a shit, it’s a charger, plug it in when you go to sleep like a norm and you’ll have no issues with other chargers
nevertrustawetfart
It's either Android or iPhone, so we're all bitches.
dogboybastard
IPhone is apple - period. A shitton of manufacturers make Android devices so you have choices. Can even make your own.
procastinaTHOR
I have a galaxy s20 plus btw
dogboybastard
Wasn't the personal you ;-) more the apple fanatics
Lynith
Honestly, Samsung is the new Apple. A $350 Pixel4A can do 99.9% of what you'll do on a Samsung/Apple. And it's 1/3 the price.
rpgaff2
Yeah, but you can easily swap between Samsung ecosystem and android. Not so much for Apple. Plus, Samsung has cheap versions.
layingsteamypipe
I am not an apple fanatic, but I am too much of a bitch to leave. My tiny brain doesn’t want to learn a new phone system.
DefinitelyNotHavingAMeltdown
Shatter every few months. The settings are a little different but nothing the average person can't Google.

I'm gonna be honest, I've used both apple and samsung phones...they aren't that different. The main difference is my samsung screen doesn't

If my 65 year old Mother can switch from iPhone to a Pixel4A without issue, you can too. ;)
layingsteamypipe
Haha you give me hope
cobjob
That's why i never jumped to apple
fuznotfuz
Not defending Apple. But if you have $1200 you can plunk down on a phone…you probably have disposable cash. Just saying.
PhailRaptor
Most carriers don't even allow you to buy your phone out-right, you have to pay it off as part of your bill. And in today's world, if ->
PhailRaptor
-> you don't have a cell phone (not necessarily a smartphone) you might as well not be part of society.
rpgaff2
To be fair, not a lot of people pay that price up front, most do the monthly payment plan with their carrier.
NotHerrVonClaussen
People moan about the whole Apple vs Android debate, but this is why people dont do apple. Its designed to drain your $ every generation.

Because Apple supports their devices for more than half a year?

My pixel 3a just got the update to Android 11, and that phone was discontinued on July 1, 2020. hows that for support?

The only reason people buy Apple is because their first device was one, and they bought it because they assumed price=quality.
