Yeah, Like they dunked on Apple for removing the 3.5mm headphone socket then did exactly the same thing not long after.

Who exactly takes Samsung seriously anymore?
To be fair, samsung actually kept the jack in many of their product lines

I tend to not use Sterotypes to work out what phone is more complicated
I think if you give someone an android and tell them how to use it they will be fine
Just like an iphone

Well after a quick google, it's not a stereotype, more women us ios than android. fact

i am saying it's a fact that more women use ios. nothing to do with understanding the tech, i never said it is. you are putting words in my mouth, and implying i think women are stupid for using iphones. listen, the FACT is for whatever reason which they choose, women are more likely to pick a iphone than a phone running android, end of.

That's one of the reason why I've always referred to iPhone buyers as iSheep, a piece of crap cloth for 25 bucks and they are lapping it like honey up only serves to reinforce this image of them. Also, with Samsung, at the very least, when you buy their phones, they usually come with bundled accessories, or promo rebates that can be used to offset purchase of other accessories. Like when I'd gotten my Z Flip 3 5G, I'd paid about 35 bucks for a pair of Buds2 after offsetting a Samsung only rebate. Does Apple offer anything like that?

Exactly the same can be said of Samsung buyers, who will blindly upgrade every year to a new phone they don't need and probably some can barely afford. Most phone owners are probably guilty to a certain degree of exactly this. How many people do you think are paying £50/month or more to own a high end iphone or samsung s21? i bet a hell of a lot.

Let's just say that a stupid polishing cloth isn't going to convince me to buy either Apple or Samsung. I purchase products for other reasons.

to be fair to apple, their new 5nm soc's are insanely powerful and produce no heat basically. I am loving my ipad mini i got last month for only $460. 5nm, and when I play a demanding game like hearthstone, it doesn't even get hot. its insane. if i play hearthstone on my samsun a30 phone my phone gets insanely hot. the speakers on it are also top notch, i didn't know such tiny speakers could sound so good. as much as I hate Apple I have to admit I like the secure ecosystem, protected appstore, and everything 'just works' is a true statement. i have been having fun with it.

it does tick me off it only came with 64gb storage. that alone almost made me give middle finger to Apple, its almost 2022 ffs. but I need a powerful secure little device for work, so eh. this will do, and also do some games and netflix on the side. plus being the new 5nm soc, it should last me 4-5 years with consistent secure updates. android can't give me that, unless I go with the pixel 6 I guess, but I want a bigger screen. ipad mini size is just perfect to me.
