    It’s worse than that.

    My work upgraded my Windows phone to an iPhone 12. Every single feature I relied on is missing in its.

    How bad do you have to be to be worse than a windows phone

        You have no idea how bad that old phone was.

        You need to forward to another phone? Sure its under the network+ menu

        No not that one the other network+ menus under settings>advanced>…>…>…

        Used to be once I found the fecking option I could pick the number from the address book job done**. IPhone I have to do some wierd take a picture of the phone number from the old windows phone address book so I can’t bin that.

        And even more annoyingly 2 months after they give me it counties start banning the damn thing for excessive radiation output

    Remove the keyboard, who followed?

    Remove the headphone jack and who followed?

    Put a sensor “island” on the phone and who followed?

          Remember when everyone was freaking out about a pinhole or a notch? Just that, but bigger.

          I hate them all, but last time I went to buy a phone I decided that the OnePlus 8’s 5G and faster processing was more important than the 7 pro’s pop out camera. I made the wrong decision.

      This is all true, I don’t know why you’re downvoted. The big innovations from Apple are all a few years back though. Currently it looks like Apple is less innovativing but copying the stuff Android is doing better. Which is fine I guess, it’s not like Android didn’t do the same. I don’t know why this topic is so polarizing.

    LOL WUT?

    Android was originally a button and keyboard driven mobile OS, when the iPhone was released they scrambled to switch the UI to touch.

    When given detail about them – and asked whether he would say that any elements in the latest version of Android, such as the two-line preview of emails in the Gmail app (found in Apple’s iPhone email program since 2007), or the “quick response” buttons at the bottom of the email app (almost identical in order and purpose to those in Apple’s iPhone email program), or the provision of a shortcut to the camera from the phone’s lock screen (first seen in Windows Phone 7 in October 2010 iOS 5 previews in June ), or the extra features added to the Notifications bar in Android – were copying iOS, he responded: “I’m not going to get into this.”
