killamch89 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 For all you Apple fans, here's a review of the new Iphone 12. I'd like to know your thoughts about this phone and if you'd consider switch to Apple because of this latest release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Even if I like their ecosystem, I will pass. First I can't afford their maintenance and the overall expense. And second I can't stay in walled garden in the name of class and status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 If you can afford the new iphone then go for it. But other older gen phones are just as good to last you for years to come. I was never a apple fan anyway, and tell you the truth I never own a iphone and so why would I get one now. then again show me the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Each year they are so much locked with their ecosystem that the repairs would cost you a lot of money. So not worth it in the long years usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empire Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 At times you can pick up a good phone for less then $150 and does the job. As long as OS supports all your wonderful apps. I had a phone for 8 years and only paid like $80 with a free headphones with them lol and they sent be two phones then one. No idea why they sent two.

Their new laptops which are going to be so much locked that adding RAM would require resoldering which is a pain. Imagine how much RAM addition would cost. Just not worth it even if I have money ,this sort of locking is as good as north korea and china level lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple are absolutely milking their consumers for everything they are worth. Apple is good at removing features while charging you the price for the device.

skyfire Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Indeed like locking every single feature of UNIX os, they made their own OS and now they are like making people believe that what they offer is always better and something to be used up with.

DudeThatsErin Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Decided to skip this launch because my iPhone 11 is working perfectly even a year later. I don't need to upgrade/sidegrade to the 12 because there isn't much of a difference between the two models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I head the Iphone 13 is basically going to be a 12 plus with a few new features which have been on Android phones for the past few years like 120 hz screen. Personally, I wouldn't be that bothered about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've noticed that as well especially in recent years like how they added widgets which have been on Android for close to a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I'm waiting for them to increase the screen refresh rate, and for the 5G modems to get nailed down more since right now they eat up battery life like crazy. I will say that the iPhone 12 Pro Max's camera is like ON POINT with every single photo my friend has taken with hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and the reason they have good performance because of single task which is not a feature but more of lack of feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
