Bloke I follow on Twitter says they’re abysmal.
Never owned an iPhone and never will. Last phone i bought was a Sony Xperia z3 compact. Excellent phone, amazing picture(anyone that has seen a video on my phone always praises the pic quality, including iPhone owners), great camera and it’s fully waterproof(guaranteed for half an hour under water).Never have to pay for apps and it cost half the price of an iPhone6(released at the same time).
Personally, apple are for people that are happy to be mugged, as long as they can wave something around that has a picture of a half eaten piece of fruit on it. Some people will buy anything, if it’s marketed correctly.

i use my iphone for everyday tasks, my samsung galaxy phone i use only for ringing my iphone when I’ve mislaid it, and my Sony Xperia z3 compact is what weighs down the loose papers on my desk. All three phones are quite useful to me in their own way, but if I could only keep one, it would be the iphone srs.

Remember that one of the iPhone5’s sparkling new features was an extra row of icons.
It’s like when I pretend Badgium is a real and finite thing, except this was a multinational and people bought it.
These are their customers.

Their operating system is the most best though, ain’t it pap? That’s the thing I like about them. Apple os always seems more stable + less buggy than other stuff I’ve had to use srs.
It’s restrictive.
Moving to Android was a revelation in terms of personalisation and customisation.

I’ve got some bad news about Father Christmas, bro.
It’ll keep for a couple of months.

It’s because iOS is aimed at users of your level Bearsy, i.e. fickos.

I’m certain I’ve expressed this before, but I often considered getting a Mac. Always came down to “ooh, I can buy a much nicer PC with the same money”.
The one thing I really loved about Macs that PCs just didn’t do as well was anti-aliasing. Without doubt, Apples were the nicest computers to read anything on for decades. Maybe they still are, but in an age where you can no longer see individual pixels, even that advantage has gone.

they are not getting me! 
Love their their products after spending so long resisting them for my Samsung!
I have an Alcatel clicky button phone that I got from Asda for £10 about 2 years ago. It doesn’t have touchscreen or internet, but when I charge it it lasts about 2 weeks. It doesn’t recognise emojis when people text me but I don’t see that as a negative. I would recommend it

Have used Android for the best part of a decade now and never regretted it once - iOS doesn’t sit well with me for some reason. Like Pap said, I enjoy the customisation that you get with Android and I find that iPhones are more expensive in terms of contracts for no apparent reason. Samsung is kind of getting caught up in the race to launch a new phone every 3 months like Apple does but there’s always a difference between the last one and the next which is nice to see. It’s not just a case of it being a different size, the interface and user experience is always much smoother and well refined.
As for those bloody earphones, it just goes to illustrate what a bunch of money grabbing cunts Apple really are. They literally couldn’t give a fuck about their users, it’s an excuse to squeeze an extra $50 out of anyone who wants to get the new iPhone.

Android (Samsung) phone.
Macbook.
Mrs G has iphone for work, Samsung for personal, ipad.
Kid G has Samsung phone, windows laptop and hogs Mrs G’s ipad. Wants a Macbook.
I love the Macbook and wouldn’t go back to a windows laptop. Not bothered about a tablet and happy with android phone.
I think people maybe overreacting to the lack of a headphone jack. Apple is supplying an adaptor … As standard. Stereojack ports are old tech. I remember the criticism Apple took for omitting a disk drive 
The wireless earbuds are stupid and overpriced though
I have had wireless headphones for over a year now, as I find they are much better when rowing as the wire used to get stuck around the belt area of the body.
So no different for me as I use Bluetooth wireless anyway. They are not quite as hideous as the ones that Apple are bringing out though! Jeez.
Apple’s removal of the headphone socket on its latest iPhone 7 has had several knock-on effects, but one thing most people might not realise is that if you’re using wired headphones with it, you can’t charge it at the same time. Unless you buy a £35 adapter. Or a £49 dock.
Mrs C_S and teenage mutants #1 & #2 have been happy Apple fan-boy/girls for a few years now, but even they are starting to get a bit pissed off with the continual phone upgrades and degradation of phone quality after a year or so. There’s even talk in the C_S household of them switching to Android…
Biggest stumbling block is that they’ll have to admit that I was right all along…I can live with that.

Thought so! Not sure why they are so hideous, I have Bluetooth wireless headphones and they are small!
one flaw in this mock story, everyone who wears Bluetooth head phones or relies on Bluetooth products know that you will lose your signal. I pop my phone in my back pocket when cycling and that confuses the Bluetooth so much it thinks the phone is on another planet. No no, there is a body in the way now, lost signal! So up your arse… No hope!
