Everytime u walk past Apple store u see so many ppl in there molesting iPhone. Maciam first time they see handphone liddat....lol

 

And even though iphone is about the same same for every iphone model, and yet on every year new launched of the iphone, still can attract people to queue overnight for the phone. 😅 Anyway, i am not a hp person, the phone can use ok liao. No need latest model or what high spec. If the phone still can use with no problem, i am ok to use the hp for many many years. 😂

Fan boys are those who change theirs yearly with new launches. Was one of them till the 13 I decided to use it. Now with USB-C, tempted me to change.

Better spec of android phone also as good as IOS la. Apple phone is buying for the brand only and not so for specs. 😂

If you compare raw specs like number of GB RAM or screen size etc, Apple (even the Pro) cannot match the China/Korea Androids.

As an Android moved to Apple (accidentally), I will say the Apple experience (hard to explain in words) is just more seemless, more integrated than Android.

That is why I refresh to from old iPhone to new iPhone after many years eventually, even though have to pay premium.

It helps that in my social circle (white collar), it is about 70% apple - easy to share and collaborate.

USB C, super fast charging has been standard issue on Samsung for many years now liao.  Curious how is apple's USB C different?

Apple is about eco system. The phone is one major component for it. All their devices communicate seamlessly. I have an iPod touch, 2 iPads and some airtags. Super easy to transfer data.  

Despite their powerful chop, I just find iPhone abit lack in the features. My op has the 30w charger 4 years back. And my current budget op Nord 3 ce has 67w. This is just one example out of the many.

apple iphone is not about features or functions

it’s stylo mylo kopi-o and yes the eco-system

i am all apple device

I just want the the universal port thing that’s all. Lesser cables to have around.

I use iphone 6 for 8 years before I changed. And that's also because the apps now need at least iOS 13 to run, which iPhone 6 could not support.

Otherwise I will use iphone 6 until it break into pieces or explode by itself! Best phone ever!

Still I haven't come across anyone who use their hp for 8 years.  😆

Lol...I had 4S, 5, 5C, 6S, Ipad Pro

At the time, samsung was crap. But soon Samsung got it's act together from the Note 9 onwards n started to outclass the X n so i bidded farewell my fanboy days.....lol

Unlike today, the iphone then was still a Steve Jobs product which I appreciated

Samsung has created a new market with the flips. And lot of people actually like them. I see quite a number of people using Fold and Flips.

Iphones are all good. But really there's been close to minimal change since iphone 12. Ypu can argue the same since Samsung S21 or so also. Just that Samsung created a new category. 

Anyway it's all about the integrated ecosystem nowadays. Samsung is catching up a bit on Dex for Samsung S8/9 tablets, though nowhere close to apple which has all 3 integrated (phone/tablet/laptop)

Just got my few dollar appl dividend recently lol.

yes slowly appeal to guys too as in the kdrama. My wife not kdrama fans but she has been using clamshell phones since late 90s mostly Motorola and Samsung during that time, so happy when these flip phone is back.

I tried out the flip phones. Way too heavy for me.
