IPhone vs. Samsung

Go with a flip phone, avoid all the hassles. Lol

I give you an actual picture of Ranching and his mobile phone.

LOL. There was some company that actually made retro phones like that which could run on a modern account. My response was, "Why???"

Algore is on Apple's board of directors so that's another deal breaker for me when it comes to Apple products.

So keep that in mind before buying an Apple product.

That's the guy who invented the internet, right?

Ha, old man you. Verizon still has a few they're selling. Seen them on their website.

No gps to track you. Best part.

I still have one of those somewhere. Lol

How much more work would be getting done with Al Gore's invention.

iPhone for me. I like all apple products.
But to each their own!

Funny. I have had iPhones for about a decade (and iPads for a shorter time) but I do not like any other Apple products. My wife has both two Apple desktop computers over the past three years. I've never touched either one lol.

I use Samsung phones, but I don't hate iPhones. If I switched, to iPhone, I'm sure I would be fine. It's like Canon and Nikon DSLRs. I could do good photography with either one.

Hi

I set on the phone fence with this one:

Android phone for friends 24/7
iPhone for business 9-5

I tried to clear the cache for a few apps on my wife's Iphone the other day. Couldn't figure it out. Turns out the process is you must install and reinstall the app. Ludicrous. I can do it in two clicks on my Android.

IPhone because it is more user friendly for me, I can be technologicaly challenged at times

Same. I'm on my 4th iPhone and I stick with them simply because I understand them, and the thousands of dollars I have invested in iTunes. I use my phone for calls, texting my wife & son, music, local radar, and the Cowboys Zone only so I don't see much need for more.

Exact same here minus the music part

I do Canon, but not Nikon because Nikon (I used to have a Nikon Coolpix 5000 when they first came out) no longer allows anyone except authorized repair shops to buy their aftermarket parts. i.e., if you want to get your Nikon camera fixed, you MUST pay Nikon and whatever price they decide to charge to fix it.

You can always make it easy and do a hard reset of the phone.

Is that true of their DSLRs too? If so, it would be a good reason for me to stick with Canon. It would be a shame because Nikon has done some great stuff with off-camera flash.

What's everybody's preference? My iPhone 6s went for a swim with me this weekend. So, I went down and checked out some phones. I've enjoyed my iPhone but I must say, the Samsung Galaxy S8 was impressive. Beautiful resolution and the camera took excellent pictures. I'm starting to think about getting it. It just sucks that all my cords everywhere (work, home) are all iPhone lightning cables. lol

I've just had 4 iPhones now and the iOS they run on, while solid, have pretty much been all the same. It wouldn't really feel like getting a "new" phone if I grabbed an iPhone 7.

Just looking for opinions! Thanks!

I prefer the iPhone because I'm in the "ecosystem" but some people prefer Samsung phones.

It's really just personal preference. There's less of a chance for malware on iPhone because of the tightly controlled App Store, but just don't be an idiot on Samsung and download shady stuff - it's not that hard.

 

[casmith07]

I steer people away from Samsung Android phones. While some of their customization are cool, most are bug riddled and trash. Not to mention they are non-standard which means when you switch phones. You're likely to lose it disrupting your expected experience.

Pure vanilla Android is the way to go and the best place to get that is straight from Google.

This - if you really want an Android phone over iOS, get the Pixel from Google. Best experience possible.

 

[SlammedZero]

I went in and played with the S8 again today. Man, that is a really slick phone. The screen resolution coupled with the camera/video quality is pretty impressive. Needless to say I am still stuck. I'm just going to have to make a decision and roll with it.

I'm also trying to figure out if I want the plus size in either one. On one hand the size is nice, on the other, they're huge phones.

I hate being indecisive. lol

With my Samsung I never install from any place other than Google Play. I never wanted to take the risk of side loading or other sites.

Don't let anybody tell you their opinion is equal to a fact!

It's all individual preference.
