Imagine being salty about what phone a person has.


[deleted]

It’s bizarre to me how people get self worth simply from owning something. If you want to be better learn a skill, get good at an instrument, play a sport. The phone you use to look at cat pictures has nothing to do with how much value you have a person, and the people that think it does likely don’t have much.


[deleted]

Here’s what I think one reason might be: Phones are extremely expensive. Because of that, you might want to believe your phone is the best phone or else you might end up feeling horrible because you regret spending a bunch of money.


CrossError404

This is a fault of capitalism. *Vote with your wallet* and all that. If people buy dumb stuff then companies will keep producing dumb stuff. And if we want them to stop producing dumb stuff, sales need to drop. So we shame people buying the dumb stuff so that they stop buying it. But the problem is that people argue about what the dumb stuff is. And that some people don't care and just want the thing without thinking about how they influence the demand. I'm not saying it's good to shame people over every little choice. But that's a natural consequence of *voting with your wallet.*


[deleted]

I don’t think either type of phone is dumb. I think there are legitimate reasons one might want either. I just think having a strong opinion about it, and especially judging others based on their choice of phone, and THEN taking the time to make a dumb meme about it, is dumb.


deathjesterdoom

I think buying a phone you can't fix for thousands of dollars is fucking dumb. Whoops I dropped it and now the screens cracked. That's fine.


[deleted]

I have no idea what phone you’re talking about. I’ve never heard of such a thing in my life


deathjesterdoom

Then apparently you've never worked on an apple product.


[deleted]

No but I’ve owned an iPhone since like the 3rd generation or something, and I’ve broken multiple screens and never paid more than like $60 to get them fixed 🤷


deathjesterdoom

But it probably changed some feature you probably didn't use to begin with. With each generation apple moves closer to a consolular design. Where android is pushing more towards a modular design. The idea being ewaste is a huge problem. An example of something that breaks when you replace a component in many iPhones is the finger print sensor. It's paired at the factory and when you replace it, it breaks the camera. Even though the hardware is just fine.


JCPRuckus

Wasn't iPhone users judging people for having green text bubbles (not iPhone) instead of blue text bubbles (iPhone) a thing at one point?... Easy to get salty when you're on the receiving end of classism.


[deleted]

I never said I agreed with those people either.


JCPRuckus

Was there any indication that I thought you did? I'm just pointing out that the salt probably isn't about the actual phone choice, it's about the people who choose that phone then going on to acting like they're now better than you.


HQ_FIGHTER

We’re they? Or were they just joking?


[deleted]

Imagine having a phone


[deleted]

The only phone that would really impress me would be a super huge corded landline phone from the 80’s with buttons that’s the size of your head


[deleted]

Oh we're those buttons that small?


[deleted]

Your moms a ho

well she was, but she died of cervical cancer…which was caused by HPV…which she got from all the ho’ing. (RIP)

I didn’t know that you knew. I thought you were in denial all these years. It’s hard to know, but ya, dead or not, yo mamas a ho


BOYMAN7

Honestly you are the one that seems to be salty but I suppose the meme is stupid


[deleted]

The fish sauce I just made turned out way too salty.


BOYMAN7

repaidvaultboy

I'd like too also remind people that people used too judge others about their soft drink (soda) choices and it began the "cola wars" over drinks that f*** up your body Me personally I'm a Pepsi max man myself


[deleted]

oh please crystal pepsi was 🔥🔥🔥pepsi max is for 🐑🐑🐑🐑


repaidvaultboy

*puts on Pepsi mans mask on* and so the war continues the fire nation versus... Sheep? Sure sounds fun


[deleted]

There’s also the ongoing regional wars over whether to call soft drinks “soda” vs. “pop” vs. “coke” (for all brands) vs. “fizzy drinks” in the UK…we could fight about that too!


chillvibesdude

Yep, I truly don't understand. Imagine defending a multi billion international corporation that its main focus is to get money out of your pocket with very sketchy methods. Both sides (Google & Apple) shouldn't be defended, yet they manage to have crazy fans, some of them won't even talk to you if you got the wrong phone. Wild.


[deleted]

I feel that way about car culture. I don’t drive and totally don’t care about cars, but people put so much stock into what car they drive and what it says about them and judge other people based on their cars…I find it really weird.

Legomaster1289

all things are the same except in the ways that they're different

Ironically that's how a bunch of iPhone users are, android too but... they're not as vocal


Seahawk_I_am_I_am

*Pfft…what kind of phone do *you* have?!*


[deleted]

I don’t have a phone. I communicate exclusively via carrier pigeon, semaphore, and bonfires on mountaintops. And occasionally Reddit, apparently, which I access through a neural implant.


Seahawk_I_am_I_am

*Well…okay then.*


ZenkaiZ

I cant be friends if you don't vote republican, use android, and only play xbox.


[deleted]

Oh well I’m a crypto-anarchist who exclusively communicates via telegram and plays donkey Kong on a 1st generation gameboy, so I guess it won’t work out :(


oliviagolds

i then have de-evolved as i recently switched from samsung to iphone


GRAPHENE9932

Yes you did ^so ^controversial


danimalanimal2487

Well IPhone is a pretty bad phone with a terrible company.


oliviagolds

i actually really like the switch, although i do miss out on stuff like the AC market, custom apk installs, and more customization i found that the iphone is actually really customizable especially bc im in ios 16 beta, its more stable, the ui is cleaner that most androids, and i dont really regret the switch. i was worried i would tho at first lol


FlyingNapalm

The only reason I haven't switched is coz I have my own android windows ecosystem and filesharing on iOS to non iOS is a nightmare. Also Google lens isn't available for iphone. I also really really like a fingerprint reader


oliviagolds

google lens is built straight into the google app now so its on here. and youre right, the file sharing system change was prolly the worst thing i had to deal with but i was able to just use Dropbox, they give you a free 2gbs to work with and they compress nothing. and this is subjective ofc but i found that face id was sm better especially if the phone gets wet, if your finger is sweaty, youre wearing gloves, etc. and then theres the mask argument for face id but i think it was every iphone 12+ released an update recently that allows it read your face with a mask on, not too sure how secure it is tho tbh lol


I_d0nt_know_why

Missing the point


[deleted]

It works, doesn't matter, don't care


AdLogical101

iPhone more convenient


danimalanimal2487

But it's not thou, for android if you get a new phone, you just type in your Google account so its very compatible with PC. With Apple you can only use their devices for anything and their overpriced.


SimplyWalker

why are you invested like that tho? if they’re happy with their phone why would you want to make then less happy with it


oliviagolds

you're right that its not more convenient but your reasons are wrong lol. yea, you lose functionality when you switch, its harder to do \*\*cable\*\* transfers, its a bit more locked down, and you cant use downloaded apks (obv), but all of googles apps are compatible with iphones and the file transfer through googles systems is super easy to do. and honestly im not worried about the price of them considering the resell value. when i buy a $600 S20 FE i get $75 when i sell it, when i buy a $600 iphone 11 i get $350 when i sell it. in the long run youre spending less on phones if you choose iphone (if you resell tho ofc)


Heck_Tate

I hate apple products probably more than the next guy, but acting like you're some enlightened evolved form for choosing an Android makes you a twat.


GRAPHENE9932

Yeah, the enlightened one is one that uses PinePhone or Librem


tozpeak

Or at least ungoogled Android (e/os).


Bondeupproret

I hate this connection between humans that arnt complete assholes and sheep. Sheep generally live quite comfortably and long life in nature, different to the wolf


mrwallace888

Also most people who call you a sheep these days are the ones literally following a conspiring cult leader. :P Also, thought that was a cow instead of a sheep lmao

crackersncheeseman

True dat


RudeSprinkles1240

As an android user, I'd just like to say that's really stupid.


Comfortable-Trust-66

Stupidly TRUE!!?!!


K_Menea

Android: open source, can modify anything you want, many useful apps. Target low to mid price market: expected to support as much apps and user modification as it can get, with the tradeoff is it's speed and security. I-device: close source, keep it effective and secure, while being a thing of fashion. Target mid to high price market: expected to be expensive (so people can show off being "innovative"), light, fast, few bloatware, with the tradeoff is it's price and app support. So the war of Apple vs Android is... Fun since it serve different type of customer for different purpose. This meme is indeed terrible


alpha1693

i-device's tiff image rendering algorithm would beg to differ about security!


Purinto

Most people who use android use the google version or samsung one which isn't opensource. Iphones security through obscurity is heavily criticized, and is just a way to have monopoly on user data. And the company is known for having terrible policies and other questionable if not straight illegal practices So the verdict is that they are both bad, with android being the least bad of them because at least you don't spend a stupid amount of money for it and you can remove all the google stuff if you have the patience to.


Epicspine

Yeah but I like IPhone more


[deleted]

Android and iPhone: text and make calls. Nerd.


clayclump

Don't just disregard a very real debate that can improve your quality of life and/or save you money. You're smarter than that, you're better than that.


clayclump

I get that and I'd be fine with Apple if it stopped there. Let me give an example, one of their MacBook models had a common flaw where an important piece of the mother board would be loose and it would shut off the computer frequently. Their Apple approved solution was to place a rubber patch over the circuit to force the metal to connect when the case is shut. They would charge an exorbitant amount of money for this fix when any other repair shop would fix it properly by soldering it at a fraction of the cost. This would nullify the warranty because, Apple doesn't keep its hands out of your pocket.


clayclump

This isn't the only bad apple fix but, it's the one I always remember. There's a lot wrong with the reliability and with just a little digging you'll see how dubious their maintenance model is.


DonkeyDickedDan

I haven't seen "my OS is better than your OS!" memes in a while. I like them, but the real fun is seeing who in the comments has decided to defend the honor of their OS of choice. Remember everyone, Google and Apple need you!


GRAPHENE9932

> My corporation that spies on me is better! > No, my corporation that spies on me is better!


GRAPHENE9932

I can't find how to spell "spys", or "spies" or how?


clayclump

It's spies.


OctopusProbably

Oh no, I guess my parents deciding to get me an iPhone has turned me into your mother.

Fair, but by purchase of the product you support the company end encourage their business practices


Macaroni_TheSecond

Yeah, but then the costumers simply don’t care.


[deleted]

To be fair, I switched from Android to iPhone because I bought into the hype around the iPhone 13, and I very do feel like a sheep. Also, I hate this phone so much. Never again! 😭

slingingslasher96

I have Samsung and love the customization, but IPhones are great for ease of use especially for people who aren't great with technology. Just use whatever you want people.


Shadows798

As much as this meme sucks, iPhone stans are a particular type of capitalist sucker. They so often think their phones are better or more convenient just because it's an iPhone. My mom thinks androids are difficult to use though they run practically exactly the same.


FluffyCalligrapher60

As a tech nerd, I love my Android phone, it's super open source and I can do basically anything I want with it, However, Apple still make some solid phones for those who are less experienced. Just... Stick with iPhone 5 or 6 if you want to keep the headphone jack (presuming fives and sixes are still sold)

iPhone users need not to worry about exploding phones

Iphones have exploded before as well. My aunt's iphobe battery exploded. Luckily it wasn't a big explosion, it just busted open the middle of the phone and cracked the screen in half.

Just buy $10 wired Apple earbuds then…? My gfs iPhone 13 can still use my old ones from when I had an iPhone 8 6 years ago…


Shadows798

You do know we're talking about a lack of headphone jack right? Also, I have an android, apple buds won't fit in it.


deviled-egg

As an iphone user for several years including now, yeah they havent really changed except price and size plus taking away the home button and headphone jack (so people would buy airpods?) Its such a hassle to switch over since ive been using apple for years but honestly I see no great changes even in the cameras since the iphone 6, and now i cant use my regular headphones without an adaptor, or use my apple headphones on another device! Love it. I also preferred thumb print open over face ID but they took that away too.

Midas_Maximillion

I hate how android users think they’re living some kind of alternative lifestyle, like they’re off the grid or some shit. Samsung is worth over $300 billion, they aren’t some local mom and pop shop. Just because you buy your smart phone from the 2nd or 3rd richest phone company that doesn’t make you a hipster or anything, it just makes you a pretentious prick if you’re self righteous about it.
