USB-C on the iPhone 15 makes it more tempting than ever for Android users

Every year I'm less tempted to buy an iPhone. I used to love them up until i traded my 6s Plus for a Samsung Edge 7. I never looked back. Now I have the Fold 5 and all my iPhone friends want to see my phone. Is Android perfect, no. But at least you have options.

This whole article reeks of "I had a quota to hit, but didn't want to actually put any effort into it."

The author, Derek, needs to take his job more seriously or get off the platform. I had to scroll up and check that this wasn't some letter to the editor type of article.

I agree. I have less desire to switch to iOS every year. In fact I see more people switching to Samsung from iOS than the other way around. If anything, I see people using both, if they can afford it.

My wife uses an iPhone. She just ordered a 15 pro 128gb going from a 13 pro. For me, the value for iPhones just isn't there. She's getting 1/4 the amount of storage and a smaller screen for more than what I paid for my S23 ultra 512gb. She generally keeps her phones for 2-3 years. No way would I pay the price for the 15PM even if I were to get a good trade in deal.

At least with Samsung phones, there's a considerable amount of difference between the Ultra and plus compared to the iPhone Pro and PM to justify the cost. There's just no equivalent to the Note/S Ultra on iOS when you have the S Pen. Even the Apple pencil is an additional charge and only works on iPads. There's no apple device that you can buy where you can get the Pencil included at no additional charge.

I'm also getting tired of AC putting out these st_p_d articles focusing on iOS and Apple.

I have seen a few of these ridiculous articles lately. I would be very surprised if ANYONE who uses an Android phone switched over to iPhone simply because of the USB port! Some of these writers are really S__p_d!
My thoughts as well! Who would switch when what they already have , oh nevermind!!! They got us all to click on the article.

I didn't have to click on the article. And I'd never know about them if we'd all just put these things on ignore.

Putting them on the ignore list doesn't work because they still show up in the feed. All it does is put the spoiler tag in place of the post if you click on the heading.

It's great that they are implementing USB-C. That will not stop me from going back to the S23 Ultra from Iphone 14 Pro max (rather than upgrading to the 15 pro max) I know no one who uses the presence of USB-C (or lightning for that matter) as a deal-breaking reason for their device of choice.
