  • Everything Apple iOS 18 Will Do, Android Already Does

    跳过

  • Nope. Apple only.

    I'm switching to iPhone because Google has let Android languish for years now. Samsung does more for android than Google does for goodness sake.

    Apple users get fun and cool updates which is why they love it. Plus best in class photos and videos so they can share photos with friends and family with confidence, as opposed to android which has shit cameras and even shittier video.

  • Exactly. Also memoji on Android would be nice as well as the better emoji content on iPhones..

    The bedtime mode on iPhone is also very cool as well as the ability to set your contact photo which other iPhone users will see when they call you.

    Plus I think Apple have done a better job with widgets because they look nicer and are stackable.

    Imo as an android user, android has been neglected by Google for a while and apart from Samsung no other OEM's are adding for software to rival Apple.

    Which is one of many reasons why I'll be switching back to iPhone. I see more and better user features being added to iOS.

    The only thing Google has done with android lately is Material You, and it's not as rich as apples customisation. And circle to search is a stupid feature which only benefits Google more than the user.

  • I doubt it. The Pixels may be doing some but with Google I'm sure it's not much as they always prefer server side computing.

    iPhone will definitely aim to do most of it on device and use the server as little as possible. Which imo is the way to go.

  • Correct. It needs hardware and will only be on flagships, if the OEM includes it..

    Another nice feature on the latest iPhone is the UWB chip egg even the older models have but now you can find another iPhone 15 user in a crowd if they share their location. The UWB chip will guide you right to them

    I've wanted something like this for at least a decade for when my wife and I get separated in the Mall so that instead of calling her to see where she is (and she often doesn't hear it ringing) I'd be able to just use the phone to lead me to her... Pretty useful in real life. And it also works for your misplaced tracker tile, air pods, iPad etc

  • Exactly. You get it. At the end of the day they are all going to get many of the same features.

    They both copy from webOS anyway, at the end of the day. That webOS from Palm was way ahead at the time but lacked the hardware and Carrier support needed to succeed.

  • I can't afford a new one so I'm looking at used IPhone's to get. Because Apple tends to support them for 5+ years, I still should get at least 2 years OS updates with a used one.

    I'm thinking iPhone 13 is a good one to get.

  • Except the iPhone isn't junk - best in class CPU, best in class cameras, best in class accessories, magsafe, best in class security(FaceID), best in class messaging with iMessage, best in class emoji/animoji/memoji, best in class OS updates, busy in class animations and app design, best in class post sales service, best in class devices ecosystem....

    Huge difference.

  • That is the catch. I agree that there is lock in, I've experienced that, but in return you get unparalleled interconnectivity.

    Plus you get 5+ years OS updates on iPhone and iPad Vs 2-3 years on Android, budget Android. And for the money, the cameras will be better than any budget Android and the CPU will be better for gaming. Plus there is a world of accessories you just don't get with Android.

    As cool as it is to have split screen or an SD card on my phone, when I need to take a picture with friends/family and they always come out terribly because all Android's under €750 have shit cameras, then none of that matters. An experience I recently had. We tried 3 android phones and in the end the friend with an iPhone got the best shot and that one was shared on the group.

    Super embarrassing for Android that 3 different phones tried to get a decent semi low light photo and couldn't but a year's old iPhone got a great shot with 1 click.

  • Not anymore. That was true for a few years but iOS has definitely overtaken Android. Plus when you include the entire Apple devices ecosystem, Arcade, TV+, Homepod, Continuity etc iOS FAR, FAR outstrips Android.

    Android is a stand alone device but iPhone is one piece in a mosaic of devices and services.

    This is why now, after the last 4 years on Android, I'm switching back to iPhone.

    Plus the hardware and cameras on budget Android devices are shit and I'm tried of paying for shit.

    The Snapdragon 695 came out 3+ years ago and yet Qualcomm just released this year the Snapdragon 6s gen 3, which is .... the 695 with a slightly higher clock speed... 🤦

    For €300 - €550 they keep selling us the same junk with a different name and colour and I'm done with that bs.

  • when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade?

    跳过

  • Wait for the distro to officially release an upgrade path. Only do a fresh install if it doesn't work.

    On Windows however whenever I would get a new pc in which I was prepping for staff(I worked in IT) the first thing I'd do after unboxing it is a wipe of the factory Windows install and do a clean install with the latest ISO from Microsoft.

    No bloatware, network managers, anti virus etc nonsense. We had all of our own stuff for that which applied via Group Policy anyway.

  • Too much fuss about nothing. Samsung just want to be sure that they aren't getting ripped off on warranty repairs and that they have an accurate idea of the devices repair history. Especially with 4 - 7 years OS support on new models, that phone will likely belong to several owners over the years.

    When I worked in Telecoms back in 2005 - 2008, Samsung had the very best repair centres. Out of all the OEM's their repairs were the fastest and the best quality and if a phone went in for repair more than twice, they would replace it on the third repair with a brand new unit.

    Could not say that about Nokia, HTC, Sony Ericsson or Motorola. (There was no iPhone yet in my country at that time)

    Implement a wireless file transfer protocol that works with Apple's Airdrop and Android's Quick Share.

    In other words Airdrop for Linux that works with both iOS and Android.

    1. Create a software tool with UI that allows syncing of a phone with Linux to copy over photos, documents, music etc.

    Linux Mint looks to fork more GNOME Apps because of libAdwaita

  • It's not a conspiracy. All I was saying is that by breaking backwards compatibility downstream either has to comply or find another way.

    As another commentor has mentioned, gnome did actually inform downstream a good while back but downstream did not engage, so gnome obviously proceeded with their own project how they saw fit. Which is the right way of course.

    Downstream should have tried to engage and perhaps found a good work around but sadly didn't.

    So they'll have to work it out now by themselves.

  • From what others have replied, this seems to be an old issue and it seems Gnome was actually in the right.

    I wasn't aware of that history. Here's the reply that helped straighten it out: https://lemmy.world/comment/9847230

  • Indeed.

    Someone else replied to me with fantastic context I want aware of.

    Here's their reply: https://lemmy.world/comment/9847230

    It seems Gnome did try to work with downstream but the engagement wasn't there.

  • Thank you for that context. I was unaware of that.

    I certainly get your point. If downstream won't engage constructively then upstream is free to do what they feel is right.

  • Who said anything about a conspiracy? I'm just saying they may be acting selfishly and it couldn't hurt to speak to other parties who they know use their code, to discuss how it will impact them.
