There will be flaws
I know you deify Apple and I own a butt load of the social justice warrior phonemaker products
Around 20 in my family and company
I’m listening to Bears Choice volume one on my two year old iPad ...smokestack lightning
I like the pads better than the phones
The phones have quirks like keyboard hiccups and sound dysfunction
Intermittent
Problem is you get used to Apple it’s hard to switch
I do like the Droid force with the jbl speaker on back I wish Apple had something like that
They have improved their Bluetooth compatibility in vehicles finally
But that glass breaks too damn easy
You’ll deny deny deny but out here in realville we ain’t fooled
I have over a dozen upgrades a year from Verizon and lol.... I need em
Every iPhone we have except mine is a spider web of glass
They still work but the optics are a mite strained
I’ll buy an 8 they are out six months
I've never broken an iPhone in almost ten years of owning them. My 36 year old daughter cracked her hand-me-down iPad screen. $25 and 45 minutes of my work and it was good as new again.
I don't like the politics of Apple's leadership either, but I like their products. I don't like the politics of Microsoft's leadership either and having worked on their products for decades, I've grown to hate them.
I don’t understand all the glass breakage. I have used Apple phones about eight years since my company left the Blackberry. I have a slim hard case and belt clip. I have no screen cover. Until recent retirement, I was in construction and have dropped them all over construction sites, trailers and in travel. I have broken cases, but never a screen or the phone itself.
