I love my iPhone.🖤

See I will not own a cellphone. I hate the idea someone thinking they can reach me 24/7.

Thats what my answering machine is for. So I can screen who is calling before I pick it up.

My house still has a rotary dial telephone still hooked up.

That phone is 60 years old and still works like its brand-new.

Let's see a cellphone last that damn long and still be working

@Queendragonfly I see my iPhone as an extension of my Mac. For example, any message I get on my phone is mirrored on the Mac. So, I can write SMS messages on the Mac.
Regarding the price of Apple commodities, you must take into account that the hardware is really excellent. I bought my last "Macbook Air" in 2011, and its HD died in 2022 – that's eleven years, and until 2020, it run on the most recent system software! The price was about $1000 or so. I don't think that's too expensive.
And the Mac is essentially a Unix machine with a decent GUI. I spend 90% of my time in a terminal emulator app which is connected to my servers via ssh/sftp. It works really nicely. Basically a Mac is a Linux machine that can print 😏
I'm not an Apple fan girl, just a satisfied customer.

@HumanEarth Is your car 60 years old too? Because they can track you that way too, most cars newer than 2010 have built in GPS...
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
@spjennifer My newest car is a 1990 Chevy station wagon(I just rebuilt the engine), my oldest is 1968 Chevy pick-up

I will never ever own or use an Apple cult device. My work tried to force me to accept an iphone and I told my work to go get fucked. Landline phones were abolished here in mid-2020 when the NBN in Australia forced Telstra to hand over in-ground copper infrastructure to NBN co. Now fixed-line is only for home internet.

I wish this was recorded 😂

@Queendragonfly I rejected their version of ecosystem reality and substituted my own. I've got my own personal phone I already own and use. I refuse to be 24/7 linked to the work ecosystem.

Apple is the Devil.

They even reference Satan in their logo, with Adam's bite of the forbidden fruit after he gives in to temptation.

Best phone ever 😀

@SW-User They not only worked but more importantly worked on systems usually safe from power-cuts - something the next generation of fibre-only landlines will not be, and portable telephones are of course not, once the battery is flat.

This is what I use at work. I have several.

@HumanEarth I understand. I'm thinking about getting a HAM radio license.

@Azlotto I can help with that, I'm an Amateur Extra Class in the USA

@HumanEarth Thank you. I took a practice test and wavelengths and antenna sizes hung me up.

I have no need to have a so-called smart phone that causes people to become more stupid. I use a flip phone as I do not want to text (I tell my customers to call or email me as I will not text nor read them), I do not do social media as it wastes too much time for stupid bullshit, I do not use a phone in my hand while driving like you see so many of the brain dead do (most likely liberals or snowflakes) and finally the reception is much better with a flip phone in remote areas as the smart phones do not receive or send where my flip phone will.
I prefer the Google Pixel flavor of Android "phone." They have really good cameras, especially in low light. I use my "phone" for reading news and items of interest, for texting, and for photography. Oh, and for maps and traffic info when I drive. Voice calls are among my least common uses of the "phone."
I had the galaxy series android phones for years. I picked up my first IPhone , a 14 pro max and I absolutely love it.
Wish i had switched long before.

Samsung a52 something, the whole name is too long to remember 😂 I ask my boyfriend if I need the full name.

I'm the type of person who use something til it breaks. I tried arguing to not buy a new phone while my boyfriend told me "Are you seriously telling me you're gonna keep using a phone when the screen dies on you at random times?"

Me: "Yes, cause it works everytime it doesn't shut off."

Well. As you all might have figured out I lost the argument and we bought me a new phone. I wasn't happy about it but I accepted it and I must say, it's a privilege with a full working screen 😆

Flip. It makes and receives calls and texts, costs only $108 per year and I don't need it for Internet connections
Magenta · F
I prefer none, but for convenience I use a mid grade android. I'm not attached to it much, but it does come in handy at times.
oldercanuck1 · 70-79, M
i loved my rotary phone simple and made calls ,,, and could do other things without someone calling you ,,
cant get the game i play on the android app store..

apple for life

Will never own iPhone unless they give it for free without also offering android
Lostpoet · M
It's been a long time since I've owned an iphone. I usually go cheap.

I got an old nokia...
And that does exactly what I want it to do.
Walks out of house........ yells at clouds......... goes back in house. LOL
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
I miss Nokia though.
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
@IamCuriousBabe Nokia's before the company 'sold out' to Windows Phone were quite good products. After that they went to shit. I bought a 5500 sport brand new about 2007 and used it until the end of 2g in Australia about 10 years later.
IamCuriousBabe · 51-55, F
@zonavar68 My last Nokia phone was an E63. Would have kept using it longer even after switching to Androids but I wasn't able to find a battery replacement.
RopinTexan · 31-35, M
I’ve only ever had an iPhone. I’ve been really disappointed in Apple lately, though, so I think I’ll probably get an Android based phone when my contract ends. Maybe even one of those Google phones. Apple just isn’t innovative anymore ever since Steve Jobs died.
Rolexeo · 26-30, M
Android, I'm such a boomer
Ferric67 · M
no phone

I like to use esp
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
I would say Android but I have a feeling Google will be following the same path as apple which I'm afraid of.

Some kind of Linex OS is pretty much the safest choice to download on your Android. Not sure about Iphones.

Can't say I love it, but my iPhone is really quite practical. It has replaced many things in my house, like my old transistor, my egg clock, my alarm clock, my record player, my (...)
Scribbles · 36-40, F
The only thing I ever cared about was the ability to make calls, text, have voicemail, and snap a few photos. The rest never matter much to me.
CountScrofula · 41-45, M
I use android because I'm comfortable with it but honestly I think the difference is basically meaningless. They all do the same shit.
DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F
I don't care, as long as I can text and use internet and take pics. I'm certainly not a brand wh0re.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
I prefer the old crank phone where you have to ring Central and talk to Gert or Mable to place your call for you.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
The simpler the better. Basic portable, ordinary land-line, and the latter is the one I use the more.
iPhone, it just makes sense. I already have all the other apple products

The one in my hand.

“A phone in the hand is worth two in the bush!” 😂🤣

Android because IPhone is pure scary in how it tries to restrict and monitor you.
I like my IPhone SE and it still works, so that’s cool.

I'll take a classic wall hanging rotary dial landline.
zonavar68 · 56-60, M
@NativePortlander1970 If you can still get one. Landlines don't exist in the area where I live. You have to 'buy' a 'pseudo-landline' digital VoIP service delivered over the NBN.
Magenta · F
@NativePortlander1970 I still have a land line also, but no rotary dial.
