You should go read some of the pettiness that is MacRumors forums.
Who cares about the technical capability of the X. But that notch doe!! |

My S6 was a steaming pile of shit compared to my iPhone 6 Plus, I imagine it doesn't actually stack up very well against the 8 (I wouldn't know - I've never owned an Android device.) |

Quote HistoryThe iPhone is leagues better than any Android phone I've used (including offerings from Motorola, HTC, and Samsung), even though it has "inferior" hardware and features. To top it off, every Android phone I owned would become a slow, laggy POS within 1.5-2 years of purchase (some less), even after multiple device wipes/resets. My 6S is still going strong nearly 2.5yrs later. I'll never own another Android phone again. |

These same guys get up and defend Samsung when they have blatantly ripped off the iPhone. but such is the way it is in today's global competitive markets. |

Of course, my last Android phone was an S3, but it wasn't a good experience. I've had a 4, 5s, and now a 6s plus. I'll probably replace my current phone with the X next year. |

Actually, NO. It was NOT possible in 1957 to achieve the computing speed of today's computers.

These same guys get up and defend Samsung when they have blatantly ripped off the iPhone. but such is the way it is in today's global competitive markets. Isn't Samsung a south korean company? (you know "good Korea") Also isn't Apple using Samsung oled displays in the iPhone x? Why is that? Hell we send tons of money to China and the Saudis but at least the Chinese haven't had groups of citizens hijack planes and kill thousands of Americans. I'm better with that than dealing with the lazy, entitled asses in the middle east. Americans have willingly ceded manufacturing of technical items to formerly low cost countries. The Chinese were just better than the Mexicans at using the opportunity as a stepping stone for industrialization. Why should I feel all patriotic about Apple? It's a company that's trying to sell me a gadget they have made in another country because it's cheaper to have Chinese and Indians make it than Americans. Oh and now it has face tracking poop emojis. 
I get that you're going to defend where your bread gets buttered but come on. |

My 6S is still going strong nearly 2.5yrs later. I still have an iPhone 4S. If that's any indicator of how often I plan on upgrading, I'm worried that if I switch to an Android it'll do what you just said. What causes them to start getting slow and laggy? Was it the bloatware? Sounds like Samsung and LG have cut back on that and it's possible to deleted or disable those apps. Is it because people load the phone up with all kinds of apps that slow it down? Or is it more of a hardware issue? |

You know that rule of thumb that computing power roughly doubles every 18 months, right?
Well, from 1957 to now is 60 years, or 40 18-month periods. Out of curiosity, I just took $150T and divided it in half 40 times. Final result: $136.42 That's probably pretty darn close to what it costs to manufacture a new iPhone.
