Meh...don't care about performance [newest [manufacturer] android phone] vs current [iphone] because with Android the competition is so intense, they should be about 5 android phones by the end of the year passing iphone x performance.

Samsung not worrying about iphone, they are worried about Xiaomi and Huawei.

This is the truth right here. I'm also hoping that specialised smartphones become a thing. I'm waiting to say what that ASUS ROG phone saying when it comes out. I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S line for the past 5 years and honestly kind of tired of it.

BTW, apple figured out how to make use of a micro usb card or allow you to copy stuff to and from your phone like an external drive as yet? You know, like what literally all other companies learned to do since coloured screens on a phone became a thing.

[rodfarva]

They likely don't want anyone doing any form of USB Mass storage transfers because It'll open the door to way too much Data transfer options. It opens the ecosystem..and thats kinda a selling point for apple at the moment

Why would you want mass storage on an iPhone ?

256 GB is enough .

Then there is iPad and MAC Pro .

You have to understand how Apple makes it's billions

[nick639v2]

S9+ beat the note 9 in benchmarks also. So basically you paying for a pen. That's about it

256GB may be enough for now but what apple charges for it is criminal. Also, it's just nice having the option to future proof the phone.

15 years ago people used to say 4GB is more than enough
10 years ago people used to say 32GB is way more than you will ever need
5 years ago 64GB was the gold standard that humans would never surpass
3 years ago it was 128GB

... see where I'm going with this?

With the amount of money I paying for a phone I don't want to have to worry about something silly like internal storage. Also, I'm more into gaming than media editing so I don't have much reason to go with apple for anything.

iPhone will always be king, Android ain't bad but I'm so much quicker and more productive on my Apple devices

Fair but with cloud storage it's rare anyone will ever need more than 256gb if you do, you are the exception.

iPhone is NOT for gaming .

Is like saying Tiida is for a Wetman

[death365]

benchmarks literally means nuthin now-a-days. its speed in hand that matters

Speed to do what ? Exactly what ?

You like driving on the shoulder with your Tiida ?

Can't argue with that. I use my phone for everything. I've always like the iPhone but can't see myself getting one because of the whole eco-system it is locked into. I always rather something with less restrictions.

Did apple ever include the feature where you can just plug your phone into any computer by USB and drag a song into the songs folder? Without having to sync anything or use any additional software like iTunes I mean.

Exactly. I could use my android for gaming or download a season of netflix shows in HD to have available for playback offline or use it as an external hard drive if I want to transfer large folders or backup a bunch of stuff or just copy some music albums or a large music mix for later.

Just curious... what is an iPhone good for then?

AFAIK You can download Netflix content to an iPhone
I can use an iPhone for over a year and experience minimal OS slowdown. Battery life remains very good too.

I've yet to experience that on android.

Ive never felt the need to use any phone as an external hard drive, but you have a point there.
and you can play games on an iPhone. I've never had an issue with that

Netflix comment was more about available storage than the ability of the phone.

At this point I honestly think it all comes down to preference between flagships. People like me are outliers in the market. I think Huawei noticed that first and has capitalised on it before any one else understood what they were doing. I'm sure that right now the majority of people are not utilising any performance beyond what the Galaxy S4 (assuming no slowdown) used to deliver.

Iphone - Communication, photos basically .
Really never had the urge to game on an iPhone.

But as I always say " How'd you solve the iceing problem? "

[Daran]

I do game on my phone a lot too and it's fine. A phone isn't for real gaming anyway.

I've got an S8 and and iphoneX. Firstly, no idea what is wrong with all android keyboards but they suck so much for typing.

Secondly, I do prefer some things about Android but overall I'm so much faster on the iphoneX, simple things like switching between apps, taking lots of pics and swapping back from gallery to camera, sharing stuff, it's like 3 times faster on even my old iPhone 6s. Android is good I have little complaints honestly, I just do prefer the smoothness of iOS

Yeah. Most apple owners I know just buy the iPhone because it's iPhone. A normal meeto would satisfy all your needs. Come to think of it ... most Galaxy S owners I know buy the Galaxy S phone just because it is a Galaxy S. It's almost as though the actual performance of the phone does not matter as much as the brand and model.

i use the gboard on both the x and s8+ much better than stock for both devices

as for speed, either one works the same; i prefer the camera quality of almost every other manufacturer except iphone

there are third party adapters and cases that have allowed you to do this for years....

the reason apple probably wont do it is because it will make it much easier to bypass security on a phone if you can allow it to read from a micro sd or external hard drive

When you say "security" what do you mean exactly? Do you mean security that may make it easier to hack the iPhone (and if yes has this been a prevalent problem with android devices)? Or do you mean that it may make it easier to bypass "security" that restricts the (often questionable) ways in which you can use the device (like copying pirated software/ files onto your phone)?

i'd say the latter

Iphone faster marginally by processor way slower in Internet connection speed via mobile networks.

Coincidentally , the Chinese make remarkable iPhone X clones ..

Even better than iPhone X ..

LMAO! You want to move manufacturing to China? China don't give a sh*t! They pipin the shop drawings and cloning that normal normal. Never underestimate the Chinese.

I know for stuff like shades (ray ban, prada etc.) the clones made in the same factory as the originals. In plenty cases the only difference is the price tag. I want to see a performance head to head between the iPhone and the clone.

Still doesn't have iOS so no
