No Apple Iphone 8 Envy

[jimbo1mcm]

Got my Pixel and love the size, shape, feel and function, especially Google Assistant. Latest Apple rumors have the Iphone 8 to still have a LCD screen in the 4.7 and 5.5 and an OLED screen in a "premium" 5.2 inch. They really take advantage of uninformed customers.

Hard to discuss something that doesn't exist.

This thread is "ahead of its time"
Really groundbreaking... Lol

What this thread means is that whatever Apple puts out next September, I'll be keeping my Pixel.

Cool story. We don't even know what Apple will be doing next September. It's all hearsay right now.

Personally, I no longer compare Androids to iThings. I realized that they're kind of two separate markets.

I'm an Android guy, and always will be. I also use Linux as my primary home OS, and have for over ten years. This is because I prefer to tailor my devices to the way I work. And that's the difference.

Android/Linux people tailor their devices to suit the way they work.
iThing/Apple people tailor the way they work to suit their devices.

Sure, there's some overlap. The second group above can be happy with an Android and just use it out of the box, but the first group are generally not going to be happy with an iThing. I'm sure iThings are great products, but they're for a different crowd than the one I'm part of.

Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter.

Very short-sighted. There are benefits to everything. iPhone currently sucks. It was once way better than Android. If apple fires Jon Ive and Tim Cook they might be able to be good again. I used nothing but pro Macs until apple stopped giving a ****. I even stopped Linux once cygwin became viable.

Can we throw some speculation about the Samsung S8 into the mix?! And the HTC11?

Well for me I always thought Android was better. The minute I was able to customize my device the way I choose It was a warp. Plus my updates came without having to plug my phone to a computer, unlike iPhone who had to go to iTunes for their updates. Yes I know things have changed but I always thought Android was better from day one.

'Reliable' rumors don't even surface typically until 1-2 months from release. The iPhone 8 is ~10 months from release. We don't even have reliable GS8 rumors yet that one's only 4 months away.

My prediction for the special anniversary iPhone 8 is the addition of revolutionary new features like quick charging, possible wireless charging, a notification light that isn't the entire screen, a more competitive camera (currently using smaller than average sensors and crappy lenses), screen resolution competitive in 2017 not 2010, and the complete removal of the physical home button (the iPhone 7 was a step in that direction). If only those things were available now oh wait...

This thread is like Taylor Swift writing a song about being over her ex. She's definitely over her ex. Why else would she write a song about being over her ex if she wasn't really over her ex? Because she's absolutely over her ex. And that song about being over her ex will continuously play in most radio stations to remind the world that she is indeed over her ex.

TL;DR Someone actually has iPhone 8 envy.
