Believe as you wish. In a side-by-side comparison on functionality, the Android is light years ahead.

When I sit next to someone with my older Samsung phone and they see my screen resolution, they say is that the new Apple phone? Nope, just my 3 year old Android.

When I use the voice command to send a detailed voice generated email that was created speaking at conversational pace and then it is sent flawlessly, and I ask then if their new Apple phone does that? Their chin drops, mouth hung open and then they mutter, “Wow, that is amazing. No, my phone won’t do that.”

There is nothing your Apple phone does better other than being more simple. I will give you that. It is nice and simple.

Oh, and I acknowledged your point about resale being better in my earlier post saying I am amazed why people pay so much more for a phone that does so much less.

I get you. You are a devotee. No need to explain yourself. You are a believer. And not I won’t say as other do that you are part of a blind user cult. That would be going too far.

Screen resolution is a matter of physics and optics. There is a biological limit on what resolution your eyes can see. At the distance you look at a phone screen it works out to about 330 pixels per inch at 12 inches, even if you have 20/10 vision. Even so the iPhone X introduced three years ago has a screen resolution of 458 pixels per inch resolution and the brightest screen of all phones on the market at that time. . . But the most accurate white balance and color. When a rating organization with no ax to grind lists the iPhone screens as the most accurate and finest money can buy, and consistently better at recreating photographic images, then that’s it. Just because you subjectively liked super saturated colors does not make it good. Your phone’s resolution beyond what your or anyone’s eye can physically see, is mere selling point hype put on by the maker to fool people who believe meaningless specs rather than science.

The Best Smartphone Display

The iPhone X delivers uniformly consistent all around Top Tier display performance and receives All Green (Very Good to Excellent) Ratings in all of the DisplayMate Lab test and measurement Categories (except for a single Yellow in Brightness Variation with Average Picture Level that applies to all OLED displays).

See the Display Shoot-Out Comparison Table below for all of the measurements and details, and the Highlights and Performance Results section above for expanded discussions and explanations, and the Display Assessments section for the evaluation details.

Based on our extensive lab tests and measurements the iPhone X becomes the Best Performing Smartphone Display that we have ever tested, earning DisplayMate’s highest ever A+ grade. The iPhone X is an impressive display with close to Text Book Perfect Calibration and Performance!! —DisplayMate.com: iPhone X OLED Display Technology Shoot-Out

You show me how good the screens on some random Android phones are when Android phones are used to produce major magazine cover photos like iPhones have been used, or for National Geographic photo shoots, or for producing entire full length motion pictures in their entirety that have won Academy Awards nominations or Golden Globes. You won’t find them.

When I sit next to someone with my older Samsung phone and they see my screen resolution, they say is that the new Apple phone? Nope, just my 3 year old Android.

Who ever told you that you cannot do that on an iPhone or iPad or any other iOS device? I am dictating this on my iPad Pro right now. You just do not know what you are talking about. Apple has had dictation on their devices for over thirty years. I can even dictate email or texts on my Apple Watch.

You are the blind one and the Android cult member. You think Android is the superior technology when it is actually a copy of the original which has not made any significant improvement in Android device technology in over four years . . . Because you have never, ever used an Apple device.

I get you

You don't even come close to getting Swordmaker. I suggest you do a little research...

I thought we finished the Apple/Any other system fight 10 years ago? I mean, by now, hasn't everyone pretty much settled on what their choice of OS is?

Thanks, Swordmaker, for keeping us current on the latest Apple happenings.
