Kept him up all night.
 

I always had an Samsung Android phone. Our contract was up in August and took the plunge for an iPhone. Never looked back. Absolutely fantastic phones. I’ll never go back to an android phone.

Got to be worth the price tag just to be able to create these right?
 

I see Google have removed the headphone jack from the new Pixel 2 phone after laughing at Apple when they did it....?

When you set up the Apple ID, it asks youfor a date of birth. Put in the actual date of birth, don’t try to fib, then it will ask you to set up a child’s account. 
I did the same with my daughter who has an iPad which obviously doesn’t have 3G, just WiFi. 
Its actually quite fascinating seeing what they choose to text to their family. And we’ll facetime her to make sure she wakes up. 
With a child’s account, if she ever tries to buy anything, it sends you a notification to allow it.

It’s like a massive horse power 4x4 with technically better specs than a sleek little sports car, but because it’s carrying round so much more weight in a none aerodynamic body, it still gets skinned at the lights. Specs don’t necessarily tell the whole story. 

Hmm, £50 for a bulb seems a bit steep. Not sure I can justify that. I’ll probably have to go with @Boycies big stick method for now. 

You haven't fixed it but made some questionable comments, limited and inflexible in what way?
Slow I can rubbish easily, I can grab my phone right now, take a pic, open the photos app on my MacBook or iMac and it's there instantly.
Message, sounds like a Wetherspoons kitchen, ding ding ding.
Calendar, the same, reminders, notes, instant.
Slow? utter rubbish. If you are seeing any slowness, that would be your internet connection.

It's not immune to an evil twin though. 

£1000 phone, I know what they will want, animated emoji’s.
Bit weird that one, not a fan of the route iMessage is going with all these effects, touch drawing nonsense. 
Mixed feelings on the X, wish they had blacked out the status bar, blended it in with the hump. Not a fan of the silver either as it looks white on the back, sides silver then black front. 
Will get the black but this one will really be it for a while, the refreshed version next year will need to be something super special. 
Looking forward to face ID over Touch ID.

Apples ecosystem is what I love, everything just works together. 
Evernote, Spotify, Chrome.....don’t need it, take an iPhone out the box and it has a browser, notes, music streaming app that all works great. iCloud, the ability to handover from phone to iPad to iMac instantly and flawlessly is perfection.
I have zero interest in the customisable options Android offers but one, micro SD slot that’s it. Show me a Android users phone and I will probably vomit at their theme and font choice, looks like a 2 year old has been let loose with their mums make up bag.
I have zero interest in moving backwards to a Windows PC and trawling through 3rd party apps to achieve the same when Apple has it right there.
I only use Siri to turn lights on, set a reminder, send a message or use it as a calculator. All works fine. Keep hearing how great Google assistant is yet I have a Google Home collecting dust now as 50% of the time it doesn’t listen and I end up using Siri.

It's almost time again boys and girls, September 12th has been confirmed as Apple Day. Looks like it's going to be a big one, credit cards on stand by!

One thing Apple get right is the packaging. 
It's the first thing you notice about a product when you get it, and the level of design they put into it is far above anything their competitors do, in my experience.
Just unboxed a Samsung s8, and it's just a functional cardboard box with a vacuum moulded tray for the phone to sit in, with all the paraphernalia tucked underneath, admittedly with some nice stock headphones.
Every IPhone/IPod I've had comes in a nice hard case, which seems smaller than the contents inside.
It makes no difference to how well the product works, but you can't help but think if that's the attention to detail the box gets, how great must the contents be.

Kettles are like Androids, I'm dumbfounded people still use them. Hot water dispensers are the way to go, they pour out 250ml water each time, only boil what you need. 

That's cos David had knackered the battery before he sold them to you. 

My swipe right screen is pretty empty, barely use it, would disable it completely if I could.
The control centre I'm looking forward to having access to a few more settings, won't have anywhere near the amount on the right. Don't see them putting apps themselves in it, be kinda pointless having a home screen.
I can see the new iPad dock making it's way on to the iPhone tho, which would make more sense having as the swipe up, switching screens through multi tasking I don't use, just seems easier to go back to the home screen.
Move the control centre to the swipe right.
Then swipe left for a widget screen.
Infinite scroll on the main page full of apps.
 

Even a judge will know Android swipes down which is so wrong and a huge difference

A bit like political party supporters then  
Fanboyism and trolling a side, what actually makes one or the other inferior?
One criticism that is aimed at Apple products is the hardware specs are not up to those of a Android phone or PC. The argument to that is optimised software to a device won't need the same specs.
If you take an iPhone 7 and Samsung S8, both phones are capable of browsing the Internet, listening to music, watching videos, social media, pictures, filming and even making phone calls. 
Run them side by side and you're looking at split seconds time difference, although those tests are not exactly scientific as you need to run them on clean phones, yet one may cache better than the other on the 5th 6th run.
So it pretty much boils down to software, the options, features, how easy it is to operate, this is where the debates are really to be had.
Android is great if you want full customisation and widgets, Apple is more rigid yet that suits people. I for one have no desire to change the font, customise the icons with themes. 
For me, with the rigidness of Apple it's the little things they do have as standard, pressing the time will take to you to top of the page, double tap the home button lowers the full screen. 
Samsung condense the site into a small rectangle in the corner, there is no default tap to take you to the top of the page. It's these little things that can be fixed with apps on the play store which you have to run the malware gauntlet.
Apple are more stricter with their apps, where I "believe" other than a quick scan you can upload an app to the Play store pretty much immediately (may be wrong).
iPhone on it's own is great, really is, but when you get sucked into that evil ecosystem it's even better.
MacBook, iPhone, iPad, Watch, any device I can read a text, pick up a email, sync photos. I can sit at my desk with a call through the MacBook, move away and handoff to the phone, no ending the call, seemless. Crop a picture in my photos, 2 seconds later I can grab it on another device. Sit on the toilet, Reading a lengthy article, return to the Mac and one click and it's takes me to exactly the same point so I just carry on.
I can go down the garden, upstairs, not thinking where's my phone, expecting a call. It's on my wrist, answer the call, done. 
I'm sure this is all possible finding apps for Windows that sync with Android, but Apple it's out the box, you're not relying on 3rd party developers for updates, fixing issues. 
When you turn that Mac on, there's no AVG running a security scan, no installing updates 1 of 2000, on and getting to your task within 15 seconds. I can even use my finger print now to unlock my Mac without having to type in a lengthy secure password.
That was more than I expected to write. I know someone asked me further back why is Mac better, didn't get chance to reply as I got caught up in the ethics debate, apologise for this lengthy post was aimed at you, just the inferior thing was a good starting point  

Any big consumer based business uses cheap labour, and cuts corners to avoid tax.  Nike, Amazon, Sony, Tesco even Primark.  If you stopped buying products based on company's business practices you'd have to live in a tent, live off the land, and make your own clothes out of old potato sacks and frog spawn...
