iPhones are trash, they've been relatively trash for a very long time.

Overpriced hardware, walled garden environment... proprietary interfaces so you have to buy a bunch of expensive dongles too do anything with it.

Kinda like their notebooks (and desktops for that matter), they sell you with their slick design guaranteed to be designed by a bunch of hipsters hopped up on starbucks and coke and built by slave labor in what ever 3rd world country their making them out of these days.

Never understood the appeal of an iPhone.

I've had several iDevices for checking to make sure web projects work on them, and one thing is clear... the Safari browser is the lowest common denominator... kinda like IE 6 back in the day... and people refuse to use Chrome on them because the users are still swinging off Steve Jobs necrotic nut sack thinking he's still making the latest and greatest post mortem because he's Steve f***ing Jobs.

Yep, iPhones are trash.

Eh........I’m getting used to mine, but to be honest, I miss my flip phone..........I’d still use it, but it finally died after 8+ years of rugged use, an old LG. This iPhone 6 was lying around, so....

Are iPhones trash? Guess it depends on how you define trash.
They are getting gobbled up by Huawei though. Wonder if Huawei is gonna catch Samsung?

looked at the Verizon map.. coverage is still kinda shaky in my area... there was none several years ago... maybe they'll let me borrow a phone for a couple days... 🤔

Looking at the map only a small area of southeastern Oklahoma is not covered well.I know that area well........it isn't covered by any carrier.Those goat herding hillbilly's don't even have landlines in their home.Do you live in this area I speak of?If so how may goats in your herd?

You guys know that Tim Apple can hear you, right?

Pretty much agree with the Wok. Verizon/ Galaxy for us....some major headaches at times, but fewer, it seems, than others have.

I was talking that area from about Idabel/Broken Bow up to Poteau..........service is very spotty.Yet that ride up Hwy 59 is some of the most scenic in all of Okieland.

You'll be fine.......I've had a many a conversation traveling south out of Checotah.

Just don't talk to Paul Marcarelli..........no one can hear that fool now.

Had Verizion for many years, now we use Comcast Mobil, they use Verision's network, no noticeable difference and great coverage.

Been using an iPhone for several years now, it does exactly what I need, especially since I changed to a Mac desktop and use an iPad, they synchronise contacts and calendars seamlessly and I can answer my iPhone calls from my the other devices as well.

I spent years using Windows/Linux/OS X as well as Android and iPhones, they all work fine.

As for Android, I recently changed our old land line to a cellphone. I got the least expensive phone I could find from Comcast Mobile, a Motorola running Android OS. The menus and most operations seem assbackwards, but I can get it to do what I need and it was nice to restore all my old contacts and apps from the years before I started using an iPhone.

I connect the old house number cellphone to an Xlink box that will ring our old house wireless handsets and answering machine. Pretty neat device and you can connect up to three cellphones to the box soil you can leave your cellphone on a charger and answer calls on your old wired handsets.
