Fun fact, many of them aren’t 0%, but rather “no interest” | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
When I discovered that I had to unfreeze my credit report so I could get a tiny pay in 4 through Apple I said forget it | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
It also doesn’t help that the CFPB has started taking a very hard look at BNPL including forcing new compliance requirements, like dispute resolution. I’d imagine that’s just not something Apple wants to deal with. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
It's disappointing that Apple's pulling the plug on Apple Pay Later so soon. I was actually thinking of trying it out for some tech upgrades without blowing my budget all at once. Guess it didn't catch on like they hoped. Wonder what went wrong? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |

I have the Samsung Flip 4. It works great with how I use my phone (barely at all). The novelty of opening and closing it has long worn off for me, but others love it when they see it.
It has a pretty poor battery life though. Which for me is fine, but if you live on your phone then I would not suggest it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
say what you will about apple but this is a big reason why i prefer iphones. their longevity is just unmatched. yes i know about the throttling phones with degraded batteries thing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
As stated on Reddit:) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
I would like a dumb phone that has decent texting, maps, calendar, Spotify, and Todoist.
Even a dedicated Spotify device would be incredible. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Yeah, but that’s just to keep the phone from crashing if the old battery can’t supply enough juice. Easily fixed by replacing the battery. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Some is an overstatement. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
i mean, that windows 11 article you linked, they're talking about not being able to update a 7 year old laptop to windows 11, 8 years old if we count next year when support for 10 officially drops. thats a pretty decent life for a laptop no? being forced to upgrade once every decade-ish doesn't really sound unreasonable to me. i cant read that times article but at least with the phones ive owned and those in my immediate circle we run them into the ground. i don't think ive ever owned smartphone that i didn't use for at least 5 years.
yes planned obsolescence is a thing, but a significant number of people are choosing to upgrade, or being convinced/manipulated into thinking that they need to upgrade before they actually need to. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
i know, but people always whip that out whenever this topic comes up without really understanding what the issue was | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
what about dumbphone or flip phone for seniors or a second phone for work purposes? is it that much of savings to use an older model phone? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
I'm still using my S8+ with no problems. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
People often attribute life issues with the surface level things when in reality it's there lack of accountability and effort to do better for themselves.
Of course it's not to say that if it is detrimental, sometimes it's better to go beyond yourself and make cuts that prevent access. It's like drug use. Some people simply will never be drug free as long as drugs are accessible. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Just saying.. Tony Stark had a flip phone | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
If it's Apple and you have someone else in your life you could set up parental controls that they have the password for. Means you could disable installation of apps, as well as limit app usage. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
work on developing better self control | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Most cars now are designed around the assumption you have Bluetooth and streaming. It's super hard to go away from music steaming although I've canceled my Spotify and my wife now has a single plan. I've been using a classic 4th gen ipod for a year and it's been way better. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
I work in IT and worked at the apple store for 3 years.
I’m very proficient with a phone. That’s the problem. Haha. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Removable by signing into your Apple ID. Or at least it was when I looked into this a while back. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Now imagine they had one of those with a killer camera and modern maps and NO MORE. I don't want a smart phone that you "just don't use features you don't want". That fails to capture the whole point. I want a bare bones t9 candy bar phone and a 4:3 amoled screen with phone, text, maps, camera. Same thickness as the original with a 20,000mah battery | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Possibly. It puts more obstacles in the way that would hopefully slow down most people before they made the mistake of installing apps.
Ultimately some level of self control is needed, since you said you needed some apps, but anything to make those unwanted apps hard or frustrating to use might be enough. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Yeah that’s true. Maybe it’s enough of
A deterrent. Thanks. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
I work with a couple old fellas who never gave them up. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
Yea your the same as me , but if hiding the apps and even uninstalling it won’t help you ,you have a addiction problem | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Ohh I understand I have an addiction problem. It’s not just phones and social media. 😂 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Yeah dude. Damn conformists. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Nokia 2780 Flip- comes with a hotspot and maps. It’s $60 unlocked and my kid still managed to find YouTube on it 🤦♀️ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
A lot of the time they come pre-installed on the phone and you literally *can't* uninstall them. Second best, though, is to disable them where possible. Some launchers also allow you to hide apps from the app tray and home screen. This is in the Android world. I have no idea if iOS allows this kind of thing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
I was about to say, I feel like I've seen this article (or a version of it) reposted over and over again for years now. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
im old enough to remember slamming a phone down on the receiver, causing the bells to ring a little. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
I pretty much literally only use my phone for phone calls, text messages, alarms, banking, 2FA, discord, email, looking stuff up, reading, music. taking pictures and travel.
If it wasn't for Banking, 2FA, discord and travel apps I would have been able to use not a smartphone, but then again I treat my phone as a tool, not something I use for pleasure besides reading, music and taking pictures. All that can also be done through a flip phone. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Can you get a flip phone with the camera quality of current flagship phones? I am a firm Ansel Addams adherent (the best camera in the world is the one you have with you), but I don't want to regress to the days of 2004 potato pics. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Lol. Now you're changing the premise of your argument. Nobody said anything about wired vs wireless earbuds/headphones. And "curated and custom" is just you trying to sound fancy. You can literally curate a custom playlist in Spotify. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
I hiked for a couple months and didn’t have service.
People really underestimate how much phones affect us. I’m not big anti-cell phone or anything.
But damn. After 1 week of not using my phone for boredom, I started having vivid day dreams again as I walked. Like I used to have in 7th grade or so. The experience was really great. And yet. Now I’m back to using it whenever I’m not actively entertained 🤷 | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |

>Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is leading a push to resurrect the American Innovation and Competition Online Act. The bill would block Big Tech firms from “self-preferencing” their own services — for example Google promoting its shopping tool in search results while demoting rival services.
I love how the article doesn't mention once how the bill would fare in a Republican House or Republican Senate filibuster. Lol.
Yet, who is making the most anti-trust moves? The Biden administration.
I can't stand the New York Post. Tabloid filth.
Yes, there are some Democrats who don't support this particular bill, but I would still take them over Republicans. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |

Man Apple is like a spoilt child. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-17-06 |
No, they wanted to implement a shared standard to replace RCS that includes encryption. It would have been alongside RCS like RCS is now. Google didn’t go for it. Privacy is a feature on iPhones. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Wild that they bothered with a feature few to none of their customer base cared about. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
I mean, Apple isn’t great at making open standards. They said FaceTime would be open too. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
maybe because it doesn't actually come out until september and it's a non-issue for everywhere but the US where alternative messaging apps are ubiquitous? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
In the keynote, Apple also just announced a bunch of new Message features that RCS won't support. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |

I mean if wanting an encryption based rcs instead of Google spying on the messages makes them a spoilt child then hell yea a very spoilt child. However if that’s the level of care Apple has for there users I’m going to keep throwing money at them. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Yeah I only just realised, thought it was something else. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Did you just claim Apple created USB c? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
They were certainly a key participant in the standard yes, not created. They did create Qi2
You implied they don’t do well with standards, that’s 2 examples of success | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
As long as I have the option to turn it off, I don’t care. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
MagSafe is so proprietary and patent encumbered, it brought *hell* on *anyone* who even dared to have magnets in any kind of computer connector. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Qi2 and MagSafe are wireless power standard so…
Probably fair criticism in terms of confusion by naming a wireless and wired interface the same though | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Why would Apple, an American company with 52% smartphone marketshare, DOWNPLAY a feature coming to the US and, by your implication, only hype up features that don't impact the US but instead ones that do for the rest of the world?
The real reason is because this was effectively forced on Apple, RCS and compatibility with Android, when Apple absolutely loves and makes bank off of their incompatibility. Depressingly the whole "green bubble" shaming is a legitimate reason a ton of Americans (especially in the younger generation) buy iPhones instead of Android, Apples competitor. It has nothing to do with Apple not announcing it "with a whimper" because only Americans are going to be impacted by it. That doesn't make any sense. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Maybe part of it, but touting a feature that reduces lock in probably isn't high priority. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
>> Everything else is standardising on usb c. Apple tried to be the dicks who wouldn't.
They weren’t being dicks. The average consumer doesn’t understand that buying a cheap cord at a gas station can brick their phone. Apple does. They literally invented the standard with Intel. They had an ecosystem set up with licensed standards in Lightning…to keep you from killing your $2,000 phone. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Literally everyone I know is on Whatsapp and has been for at least 10 years. Who gives a shit about legacy sms? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
How is it shitty? Should they not be allowed to make their products in the manner they and their customers want?
How is this any different than airlines with different pricing models and product offerings? Or Internet service providers with different tiers and prices or car makers? It’s just the nature of business.
Nobody is being forced to buy Apple products. They’re doing what they feel is best for them and their customers. People have other options. Not sure why everyone is so pissy about having a company whose product you dislike join the standard. If you don’t use it then why does it matter? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
I think the vast majority of people in tech enthusiast spaces aren't in sync with what the average layperson cares about. The average Joe doesn't care that he has to carry around two different cables in his pack to charge, but he does care that he'd have to swap out all of his existing cables scattered around the house and in his car when his new phone has a different port. The former is something that he's used to, while the latter is something he'll have to spend $x to replace that he feels like he shouldn't have needed to.
Similarly, at some point, battery life improvements present diminishing returns for the average user (especially once it hits the one-day threshold), but lighter weight or a thinner build is something that will be noticed every time the user picks up the phone which is why every smartphone manufacturer tries to toe the line between a good-enough battery life and thinness. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Statistics show that Apple has nearly double the market share [in the US](https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/north-america) compared to [worldwide](https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/worldwide) so no, it's not a global problem. People around the world have largely stopped caring about Apple compared to the early 2010s, given the plethora of Android smartphones, including the "premium" ones (that are mostly just as much of a ripoff as iPhones, considering the insane value USD 200-300 phones like Redmi Note series offer these days). But not Americans. Apparently chat bubbles of the correct colour in a shitty messaging app no one sane should be using is enough to make them fork out several times more cash for a phone. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
>Not to mention when replying with an emoji as an Android user to a text from an Apple user, it re-sends them their whole text with the emoji
Afaik it was the same behaviour both ways, but Android chose to fix it client side while iOS didn't | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
You seem to be under the impression that a douche can’t be influential. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Probably because they are always dishonest about the reasons/intentions.
They pretend like they live in a bubble where Android doesn’t exist and hence RCS isn’t worth mentioning, they fought tooth and nail to not do a USB-C phone and then pretend like it was their intention and an innovation all along, and this is true for every feature.
It’s dishonest, cultish and definitely not pro consumer. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Eh. It’s a whimper. So they finally did RCS, does anyone really care? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
USB C was welcome. Removal of every other port was mocked (dongle hell). Thankfully, they reversed that decision recently by adding back some essential ports such as HDMI. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
>*Embrace, Extend, Extinguish*
Do you know what that is? Because that's not what Apple is doing. Embrace, extend, extinguish was Microsoft trying to take over an existing open standard by adding their own proprietary stuff to it, to co-opt it and make it theirs.
Apple isn't doing that with RCS, and iMessage was never an open standard. Plus they just don't have the market share to do it even if it was that. MS had 90-95% of the global computer marketshare then, Apple is less than 20% (and iMessage is probably in the single digit marketshare for messaging apps), even in the US iOS is only a little over 50%. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Apple's RCS rollout was surprisingly low-key, considering the potential it holds for improving how iPhone and Android users chat. It's about time we had smoother text exchanges without the quirks of traditional SMS. But yeah, Apple could've made a bigger deal out of it. Hopefully, this means less frustration when my texts to Android pals don't go all wonky. Cheers to simpler messaging, I guess! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
Damn bro you're so fucking brain dead. They explained it to you, and you are just dumber then a bag of rocks. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
If you read my reply I mentioned that this affects people interacting with others. Apple is intentionally making it harder to communicate with non apple customers.
I can't dictate what phone you buy, or my friends and family. So apple is trying to divide people, make it a worse experience for people on android to interact with their non apple using friends.
This is also trying to communicate to existing apple users that android is a worse experience than it actually is. "I would never move to android, look how low Res the pictures android users share on iMessage' Which is dishonest.
I hope you can see why people dislike this | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
I’m glad we agree. It does make sense, it definitely would match up to what I see firsthand. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-18-06 |
