300bucks is still expensive man, u can still get a iphone7-8 for t hat price if you shop around...

even better if you know a friend that works at apple, can get like employee discount 10-15% (retailers only give out like 5% max)
if ur traveling overseas within the month, go claim the tax at the airport usually around 10%...

[baseline bum]

Ain't nobody going to buy something called a Putophone.

[DJR210]

Will it launch before Star Citizen

[lefty]

Damn Not a bad deal tbh.

For starters... an Apple fanboi talking about $300 as being a lot of money. :lmao

I have an iPhone 7 for work. It's terrible. The F1 has like 50% more screen real estate. I wouldn't even put them on the same tier, plus the iPhone is gonna be used. I got my iPhone new and the battery is already a dumpster fire, I use it for 40 minutes of GPS and the battery drops 35% on it.

Pocophone >>>>>>>>>>>>>> iPhone 7. :lol

Problem with all these Chinese phones is that not all the LTE bands work with US providers, and they also already got caught sending out personal data to the mothership. Not to mention that Google already does that with Android (and everything else) itself.

That said, I feel the mobile arena kinda topped out a couple years ago. People do need to replace their phones here and there because they do wear and tear, but it's largely a race to the bottom at this point. It already happened with mobile software, will likely happen with hardware relatively soon too.

:lmao dishing out any sort of money for a phone that gives all its data to google

[Xevious]

If any of these "budget" phones worked on Sprint, I'd be willing to give them a try.

Every company does it, my young friend, but not as badly and blatantly as google(except maybe facebook). When a company is so fucking awful at it that people are switching search engines in droves to shit like duckduckgo and their phone os is basically AIDS in your pocket, you can't defend it. Do a news search for "apple privacy" and "google privacy" and just look at the results. Why do you think so many gunmen and active shooters have iphones? The govt can barely hack that shit without fucking it up :lol

The smartphone biz peaked years ago and everyone is in a race for the gutter.

Apple.. doesn't believe in restricting the end user through proprietary crap, would NEVER overcharge the customer because of trendy glowing Apple logos on the device, and would under zero circumstances ever gather and/or sell customer data. That's why I love Apple :tu So much more honorable than every other company out there

[DJR210]

Using an example of an active shooter to justify the need for privacy :lol What are people doing on the Internet to be so worried about? Only pedophiles and weirdos care that deeply

Maybe Apple isn't as bad as Google and Facebook, but that doesn't make it right

Apple makes good stuff tbh, but they fuck their customers without lube tbh.

Look up "Apple and CBC", CBC recently exposed their shitty repair practices

[lefty]

Hasn't Apple allowed the Chinese govt to access their citizen's iClouds ?

[ElNono]

When you see shit selling for 1/10th the price of anybody else, you're the product, not the phone. You can bitch all you want about Fapple, but they put their money where they mouth in that Cali shooting, just fighting off for everybody's privacy.

If it were up to Facebook, they'll happily subsidize a free phone, tbh...

And yes, Apple will allow access to iCloud under a lawful order, but users can and will disable iCloud. Google is deceitful as shit on that. You turn off "Location history" and it actually does not turn it off, lolz (see: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/13/how-to-stop-google-from-storing-your-location-history.html).

You can get third party repair, it just voids your warranty.

Essential Phone

:lol Fapple resorting to copying cheap ass phones

[diego]

my dad got one of these recently in china... pretty damn impressive

I had asked him for one too but as Nono stated the band support is kind of limited so it wasnt any good for me. usually the chinese phones with full band support are only slightly cheaper than international counterparts (like xiaomi mi 8, mi mix series, or one plus- out of those ill prefer one plus for the cleaner OS, but its not exactly a cheap phone at 500+)

:lol at people arguing privacy here.. if you use free email and/or a smartphone you have no privacy, neither from beijing or DC

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao weren’t you faggots mocking notches a year ago? Now everybody’s using it :lmao

And it's stupid.

Stupid when Apple did it. Stupid when they're copied.

But that's only one aspect of the phone and hardly a dealbreaker. Just bad design.

I'm still rocking my notchless Galaxy S8 and I love it.

That video supports exactly what I was saying... Apple business model is price gouging, walled garden, fiercely protect the brand and the third party ecosystem around them (not just repairs, go look at the MFI program) and spin to hell and back on every release.

But that actually is what enables them to have products they make their money on (some people would say make too much money on, but I digress), and why the user and it's data are not the actual product.

I'm not even saying Google or Facebook monetization of their users is a bad thing either, but it'd be ridiculous to deny it, or pretend that Google or Facebook are going to care or make a stand about your privacy, when that is where their money comes from.

[lefty]

Eh

Yeah Apple doesn't make most of its money from data, but I wouldn't trust them either

Prism, China, they already have some skeletons in their closets tbh

[ElNono]

I don't have a hard-on for Fapple either, tbh, like I said, they haven't innovated for shit since Tim Cock has been at the helm. That is, however, one distinction from Apple and Google, etc.

I have Android phone/tablets too, tbh, not racist.

Android tablets are meh tbh. The only one I had was a Nexus 7 that crapped out with Lollipop update.
But again, Nexus and Pixel stuff are overrated garbage.

I've read that the latest Samsung tablets are good, but I think Apple is still the king when it comes to tablets.

What Android phone/tablet do you own?

Huawei is a private, employee owned company apparently. nothing to do with the CCP or PLA, no reason not to buy their phones

Have a couple of Experia phones and tablets, Nexus 2012 tablet, Asus small tablet with Oreo, old Galaxy phone, a Hawei phone (don’t remember model, was pretty good a year or so ago), and I think that’s it.

Experimental stuff ?

[ElNono]

Experimental stuff ?

Yeah we gotta test against a bunch of Android OS versions so we’ve compiled a small collection at this point, especially since the goal is to test against stock roms and the devices are relatively cheap.

A couple of the phones are leftover from my nephew.
