I don’t care about the beauty and I think some android phones are prettier, but iPhone hardware is ludicrously fast and that’s one of the reasons I have one.
Until the battery gets old lol. iPhones are fine; they’re simple phones for simple people.
Preferring simplicity in your smartphone doesn’t make you simple.
And what phone doesn’t need a battery replacement after a few years?
Sure it does.
Every phone needs a battery replacement after a few years, but not every phone will perform worse because of it. When your iphone battery wears out, your phone slows down. You have to replace the battery to both improve performance and battery life. When your android battery wears out, your phone does not slow down. It just runs out of battery sooner. Replacing the battery will not improve performance as it never slowed down in the first place unlike an iphone.
That’s because with any phone, an old battery stops being able to provide enough current to the phone when it gets old. So Apple throttles the phone. Phones that don’t do that become unstable, while the iPhone remains stable, but slows down.
Maybe if you keep using it once it doesn’t hold a charge for more than an hour, but I’ve never done that. When my batteries have gotten low, the phone didn’t start crashing more or acting weird, just running out of battery sooner.
Samsung equivalents have better hardware for the same price
E: I can guarantee you the downvotes are from people who have never even looked at the hardware in their phone. Nobody will even engage with the numbers.
Versus.com is useless. There’s no value in their comparisons.
This stuff always makes people defensive, but it’s better to make informed decisions. There is no dismissing this data, period. It’s not just a number score, the specs are there for you to read. The equivalent Samsungs have twice the RAM and two more processor cores than their apple counterparts.
You aren’t informing yourself when you read versus.com You’re comparing numbers and those numbers are often not comparable because they either aren’t counting the same thing or they’re an implementation detail that doesn’t affect the actual outcome. Versus.com is essentially worthless search spam.
For example, comparing cores and clock cycles between different architectures is useless.
The A16 chip in iPhone 14 is an ARM chip, same as the snapdragon.
Is not that simple either. Hz don’t equal hz and cores don’t equal cores.
That’s not a statement based in reality, there’s no magic going on here. It’s just cycle speed and information per cycle. If your argument is that the versus.com comparison leaves out the less significant factors, I’ve looked at those comparisons before I made my first reply and the S23 beats those too.
No one said there’s magic. You’re just flat out wrong.
But really, an AI generated spam search result isn’t something you should use as proof of anything.
Not the same, Apple doesn’t use snapdragon
The iPhone 14 cpu uses ARM architecture, the S23 cpu uses ARM architecture. How would you come to the conclusion that I’m saying they’re the same chips?
They used to use the same chip, and now they don’t
