Let's not get started about their camera auto mode either.

BUT they have an SD slot, headphone jack and fantastic media quality. And if you know how to handle the camera, you can get some high quality pictures out of it and even though it doesn't do as well as eg Samsung in low light conditions, it can put out some very natural images which samsung sadly never does.

I have actuallt never seen an Android app not work on an Android phone that was on a somewhat reasonable older version (like 8.0 kind of is currently). I have however seen apps act up specifically in brand terms. Sometimes an app will not work on a certain Samsung device or similar.

And ontop of that you can install literally any Android version on most android phones if you are willing to invest a day of reading through guides (and have an unlockable phone), I mean there was the Android 10 patch for the 2011 Galaxy S2 and even new apps ran on that. Issues came mostly from insufficient hardware, which is of course not as much a problem on apple phones because there is no budget segment. A 2018 Galaxy J Something will struggle with anything 2023 way before flagships.

But in general, backwards support is mostly good for both OSes and I wouldn't want to discredit apple there.

In privacy terms however I disagree as recent events have shown. If you watch rossmann, you would know about some of those anyways though.

With a dongle that

  • will on average break much sooner than the headphones or audio jack so one has to buy a new one
  • in most cases allows you to either charge OR use Headphones
  • might fuck up your sound quality because 99.99% of those dongles come from china and have questionable specifications
  • is a hassle to carry around all the time just in case one wants to listen to music and lost way too easily ?
