To buy an iPhone or not to?

[deep@vie]

They won't.
Apple lives in their own world oblivious to what the world wants.

When it's selling like hot cakes why would they think about it at all

How would you know without asking that party's consent is there for recording.
I would never give my consent for call recording.
I never record any call.

See the thing is in Samsung you will never know you are getting recorded.
There are no beeps, no indication. Its absolutely stealth.

Social media more engagement and likes as the iPhone owner has paid extra 30% Tim Cook tax.

No, Even S23 Ultra guys get same attention.

That phone deserves way more attention that what it gets in India. It changed my perception about Android phones.

 

[harsh1387]

You won't be given a "celebrity status" in social media without Apple logo.

like i said i can debate this for long but what's the point.
you buy what you want.
it's a free world.

And whoever is flaunting it on social media is doing it with their own money.

It still has a better camera than iPhone 14 pro max. brilliant phone.

 

[deep@vie]

Still, it's a law & I'd one gets caught, could have tough time

And who cares about privacy in our country?

Better in almost all regards except App optimisation (for Android in general) and the logo. 🥲

Again, who gets caught in our country?

Yeah no point in debating.... I myself use almost all Apple products but for my choice I can prefer Android phone any day over an iPhone even if I have to leave Apple ecosystem.

 

[deep@vie]

Few unlucky ones

Some do it with bank's money too (EMIs)

They'll ask me to do not record na.

And what's bad here? Nothing.

Let me tell you with one example.

Once a lady asked me phone to do a call in public place, I didn't give her the phone. I entered the number, called & locked the phone before handling to her. And recording was turned on obviously.

In parallel, if she was some sort of fraud/scammer etc, and investigation goes on my number. I'll show the proof of call and can get out easily.

That's the ease in recording calls. And we should record call to unknowns. Never know, what will happen.

Brand perception matters.
Otherwise, why will people buy a Mercedes when Volvo gives more features and is one of the safest car in the world.

I've been going back and forth deciding buying an iPhone or not. I will probably go for iPhone 15 (I know its not released yet but the way how each new iteration is getting better and better battery life is attractive) or the Pro version if the rumor of titanium body is really true. But the main reason to switch is much better battery life. Was also going to buy Macbook next year so can pair with the same environment I guess.

But trade-offs from android are:

• No customization - Yes, I care.
• No call recording
• Truecaller live caller ID doesn't work or so I've seen
• No Tachiyomi support - Will probably need to read manga on the browser like a psychopath... 😐

Worth it?

Look bud, a year down the line, you'd not regret buying an iPhone. But you'd be curious, and question "what would've it been like"

So it's actually not a question about tradeoff. It's about if you have the finances to comfortably "try out" an iPhone.

Soch na, andha paisa hota to itna thodi sochte ki kaisa hoga. Try karke dekh lete.

So see if it fits your budget.
Androids me wapas to hamesha hi aa sakte ho.

It'll be a welcomed change, if nothing else.
Our tech is advanced enough that you won't be making a "wrong choice" in either case

That's a different(okay) ,consent of caller or receiver is required for recording.
It's their privacy along with us.

Samsung is preferring running ad more about that phone, not decreasing the price.

Cause online ad is cheaper these days than discount.

That's why 😢.

In Prime Days USA, it was being sold at 799/699$ I guess.

Does bank give that money as a gift?
They charge interest and gets the principal too.
In no cost EMI too, you pay GST on every EMI.
There are no free lunches in the world.

And what is this trend of Indians looking down at EMI's.
IN USA everyone buys iPhone on a network 2-year contract. That is also an EMI equivalent.

It's violation of right to privacy

I guess You can't have privacy while being in someone else's territory? Don't call if you mind being recorded
