@WorkaholicDavid While I agree it's flawed, I think the association primarily comes from the fact that the average selling price of an Android phone is ~$280 while that of iPhones is ~$800. Yes, there are Android phones costlier than iPhones, but those aren't the most popular ones

This is the fundamental issue with this poor mentality. People need to stop associating cost with Android.

@on_tesla @sashayanshin @MetaThought100 Tbf why would it ever expect someone to refer to themselves as their son's father? It doesn't know you're asking if a riddle, it just expects you're talking like a human being

@sashayanshin @MetaThought100 Definitely has trouble realizing the prompter could possibly be the father.

Chat GPT is going to take all our jobs by the end of the year. Large language models are real AI that is smarter than 99.9% of people. If you don’t understand, you are too stupid to understand AI.

@sashayanshin ChatGPT isn't going to be replacing everyone's jobs anytime soon, but this is a stupid prompt to begin with. It's obviously assuming you're the mother (or other father)

@AppleBytesPhD @AbdulSbeei @durreadan01 Video call apps are an obvious exception, but there will always be an indicator at the top to ensure you know it. Ig what I meant to say was apps can't access the mic or camera in the background without the user knowing. I'm sure your sleep tracker shows an indicator too

@Tom_Stevens617 @AbdulSbeei @durreadan01 This is not true. You can use the phone app and use other apps at the same time on iOS and video for FaceTime or Zoom for example. The sleep tracking app I use also uses the microphone in the background.

Underrated iOS feature: Privacy overview. Being able to quickly check — within the control center — which apps recently used your camera, mic, and location.

@AppleBytesPhD @AbdulSbeei @durreadan01 I don't think accessing the mic or camera in the background is even possible on any recent version of Android or iOS

@AbdulSbeei @durreadan01 Yes of course! If you do not care about if an app has accessed your camera and microphone in the background you are in the significant minority…

@fahim_al_mahmud As for the OnePlus 12, it is a relatively minor upgrade over the 11. The 15 Pro being a (debatably) smaller upgrade and being called a Porsche has nothing to do with each other

@fahim_al_mahmud One, he didn't actually criticise the 6A, and two, for most people Android phones and iPhones aren't really in competition anyway. (1)

Thanks, MKBHD, for calling out reviewers who are not honest. But the funny thing is he himself is dishonest when it comes to Apple products. Criticising Pixel 6A for having 60 Hz display while not doing the same for base iPhone 13, 14, 15, or iPhone SE 2022. Calling OnePlus 12, a minor upgrade when calling iPhone the porshe of smartphone when the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max had an even smaller upgrade. The list goes on and on... Now I know I'll get tons of hate comments in this post because I criticized the "GOAT of tech reviewer", but the fact is, with great followers number comes great responsibility and that responsibility should be equal for all brand. Only then can a reviewer be called unbiased. Otherwise, they are the opposite of unbiased, and this applies to every reviewer, small or big 🤷‍♂️

@heyeaslo Docs isn't equivalent to Notes and Notion, that'd be Keep

Which team are you on?

@AnxiousHolly Agreed tbh. For the most part I don't even bother checking my battery in Control Centre, I only need to charge it overnight anyway

The iOS battery percentage looks better turned off

@SamTechnologyH @lakshyalark @theapplehub @Piper_Sandler Kids are spoiled because they have one of the most essential things people use in 2024?

@lakshyalark @theapplehub @Piper_Sandler The reason some us kids are spoiled

According to a new survey, 85% of U.S. teens own an iPhone 😳 86% said that their next phone will be an iPhone Source: @Piper_Sandler

@digitaldetox_9 @theapplehub @Piper_Sandler Kinda crazy that iPhones are this ubiquitous and still considered status symbols lol

@theapplehub @Piper_Sandler Huh, it's down by 2%. The last survey stated that 87% of teens had an iPhone

@praveenbec @rufpreto @PhillyBeatzU @dbrand Speaking of penises, aren't women named Laura super common targets for that in India?

@rufpreto @PhillyBeatzU @dbrand It refers to penis in your own language. It's a joke native to your language. So you can relate to it. Chitransh means Artist in that customer's native language, not shit rash. So that person clearly does not relate to a 'humorous' allusion to excreta rash. There's a difference.

Well that escalated quickly. 1. Yes - we made fun of a guy's name. It was a huge fumble. 2. We apologized to him directly and offered him $10,000 as a gesture of goodwill. 3. We've been poking fun at customers on social media for over a decade now. We're not going to stop, but maybe next time you'll be the one who gets $10,000.

@spiderversekid @sondesix Pretty sure it's Photoshop lol

@sondesix How did Siri even come up with that answer my Siri just says I found this on the web

Gemini and Grok answered the question "What's the best phone in the world?" nicely. And then there are Bixby and Siri.

@kadinsswitch @LeakerApple Then the people you know must be paranoid freaks because the vast majority of people couldn't care less lol. Do they cover up their phone's front camera too?

Apple sets standards. That is a fact.

@TheGalox_ That's not a standout feature, this isn't a feature even most Android users care about. RCS support is easily the standout feature imo, especially since Apple is adding encryption to it's universal standard

iOS 18 will apparently be the biggest update to iOS since iOS 7 It's standout feature: the ability to move app icons freely This will bring iOS and Android closer than ever before

@xaviercross1971 @_TwistedTech And people buy iPhones with the full knowledge that they only have that choice, and they have no issues with it because that choice is among the best anyway

@_TwistedTech It absolutely takes away choice. If you want a watch that works well with the iPhone you only have one choice. It's the definition of being anticompetitive

In 2024, Companies are using the EU as a crutch to compete against Apple instead of actually making a better product. A similar situation is developing in the US companies don't want to actually make a better product, They don't want to invest in their product, Or actually market their product. They expect the Government to make them better more competitive, Hoping people will buy their product . The reality is this, If the product was actually better people would buy it. Europe has no problem buying non Apple products. "Oh your just defending Apple" No, dumbass I just want a better product without Excuses and the help of an 80 year old Congressman who still uses a rotary phone from 1955‼️

@SpartaPee @AndroidAuth The "additional cost" is literally a $1/month, which is practically free for most people anyway lol

@AndroidAuth Not only that but they want to push their iCloud services on to people too, to have the 'optimised' version of their photos on the phone to save space but the actual photo/video will be stored in iCloud for an additional cost as their 5gb free offering is no where near enough.

Apple thinks 128GB of storage is worth bragging about in new video ad androidauthority.com/apple-iphone-1…

@ilyamiskov Using it and living their lives? Do you expect people to tweet every time they put it on?

I remember everyone talking about Apple Vision Pro like crazy. Where are those people now?
