Never think I'm anything like you
No risk of that.
I'm not afraid of facts.
I'd LOVE to learn if there's something else.
That's an utter lie. It took you almost a week to accept the SMB functionality and only succumbed when several ppl showed proof. Your MO is deny, deflect, attack. Which you're doing again here.
Stop hiding.

A huge problem with Apple trolls is you misunderstand almost everything.
I can admit when
I'm wrong, Chris. My ego is being able to learn the truth, Chris.
So stop it with your brazen lies, which I'm sure you believe.

Another lie. Only last week (or the week before) you regurgitated your
dogma that iOS does nothing that Android can. I and someone else had to remind you of the truth which you yourself tested.
That's what prompted your thread where you refused to even *think* for yourself.
So stop it with your brazen lies, which I'm sure you believe.

You simply cannot accept any fact that isn't a made up one of yours.

You call this "not accepting the facts"????????
1. I thought no app could use privileged ports on any operating system
2. Yet the infamous Apple trolls claimed iOS apps can use SMB ports
3. Obviously, I didn't take them seriously - at least until Tyrone posted
4. Even then, I tested Tyrone's claims in detail to make sure of the facts
5. Then I profusely apologized & openly congratulated him & the others
Yet you deceitful unprepossessing Apple trolls construe that adult discovery, proof & public congratulation, as "not accepting the facts"?????

I addressed EVERY one of your issues in detail in the thread on the topic.
He will of course deny they are useful, claim they have a direct equivalent >> in android and will change the definition multiple times.
So here's the list in no particular order.
FaceID
Universal Clipboard
Backtap
Geofencing and shortcuts in general
Homekit integration
Centre stage
Find My - google's is nowhere near as useful being too new
Family account settings (great for managing subs for kids)
visual voicemail
Facetime hand gestures
scan to pdf (and annotate)
Bonus one for ipadOS: Sidecar
Personally, I use most, but not all of the above and would miss them if I
didn't have them.
All the functionalities Chris listed are available on Android, whether natively, via OEM tools, or through third-party apps.
The distinction lies
in meaningless branding, not in the existence of the features themselves.
Apple Feature Android Equivalent(s)
--------------------------------------------------------
FaceID Face Unlock (Pixel, Samsung Intelligent Scan)
Universal Clipboard SwiftKey + Windows Cloud Clipboard, Gboard
Clipboard, Samsung Link to Windows
Backtap Quick Tap (Pixel), RegiStar in Good Lock
(Samsung), Tap Tap (third party)
Geofencing and Shortcuts Tasker, MacroDroid, Samsung Modes and Routines
HomeKit Integration Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant
Centre Stage Auto Framing in Google Meet, Instagram Body
Frame, Samsung/Pixel tablet auto framing
Find My Google Find My Device including Bluetooth
tracker support for Pebblebee and Chipolo
Family Account Settings Google Family Link
Visual Voicemail Google Phone (carrier VVM), Google Voice,
YouMail, HulloMail
FaceTime Hand Gestures Meet, Zoom, Snapchat, Instagram filters and
reactions
Scan to PDF and Annotate Adobe Scan, Xodo, PDFelement, Google Drive Scan,
OEM camera doc scan
Sidecar (iPadOS) Duet Display, Splashtop, Spacedesk, Samsung
Second Screen (Windows pairing)
All the functionalities Chris listed are available on Android, whether

Then it's not an Android functionality is it?
The distinction lies

Apple Feature Android Equivalent(s)
--------------------------------------------------------
FaceID Face Unlock (Pixel, Samsung Intelligent Scan)
I accept the Pixel 9 has depth perception.
Samsung is still 2D only so insecure.
Universal Clipboard SwiftKey + Windows Cloud Clipboard, Gboard
Requires a third party account and so allowing a third party to see everything you type and copy is deeply unsatisfactory.
Clipboard, Samsung Link to Windows
Backtap Quick Tap (Pixel), RegiStar in Good Lock
(Samsung), Tap Tap (third party)
Good to see Pixel catching up.
However, third party apps elsewhere aren't going to work well.
Geofencing and Shortcuts Tasker, MacroDroid, Samsung Modes and Routines
This party tools and you've already shown that geofencing doesn't work.
HomeKit Integration Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant
Are they integrated into the OS or simply an app?
Centre Stage Auto Framing in Google Meet, Instagram Body
Frame, Samsung/Pixel tablet auto framing
App specific. Centre stage works with all apps not just Apple ones. It is core to iOS.
Find My Google Find My Device including Bluetooth
tracker support for Pebblebee and Chipolo
Nothing matches Find My for utility and ubiquity.
Pebblebee and Chipolo in
fact use the Apple Find My network. They aren't an alternative.
Family Account Settings Google Family Link
Visual Voicemail Google Phone (carrier VVM), Google Voice,
YouMail, HulloMail
Application specific. Doesn't work with traditional carriers.
FaceTime Hand Gestures Meet, Zoom, Snapchat, Instagram filters and
reactions
Limited to app capability. Hand gestures are global in iOS/macOS.
Claiming that instagram and snapchat are equivalent is funny.
Scan to PDF and Annotate Adobe Scan, Xodo, PDFelement, Google Drive Scan, >> OEM camera doc scan
All third party and from experience usually require an online service.
Sidecar (iPadOS) Duet Display, Splashtop, Spacedesk, Samsung
Second Screen (Windows pairing)
Third party.
So it seems that third parties attempt to fix many Android weaknesses while introducing others when compared to the core functionality of iOS with no third party deficiencies.
Also good to see some of the Pixel hardware catching up, however the
battery performance doesn't win any prizes. Maybe the 10 will improve on that?

Sometimes you make sense.
Sometimes you make no sense.
Your argument is absurd.
First off, you're cherry picking since the vast majority of phones out
there are NOT iPhones, so you're ignoring the vast majority of owners.
You're literally cherry picking only the wealthy owners, and then, you triumphantly declare that they're rich & intelligent in the same breath.
Then you compare that $1000 iPhone to a $45 Android ...Your hyperbola attempts aside, I have seen a study which found that the average iPhone valuation is ~$400, and Android just under $300.
and declare that not
only are the people who pay $1000 for something that can't even do what the $45 Android can do, but that it lasts longer (you claim) by virtue only of the fact that it costs $1000 while any old Android that costs $45 (you
claim) doesn't last longer - even as the build quality is vastly greater.
WTF?
Have you no argument at all that you have to make such absurd claims?
You're desperate to claim a $1000 iPhone has more functionality than a $45 Android when you can't even list any functionality that it supposedly has.
Why would someone pay $1000 for an iPhone that can't do what any $45
Android can? That's NOT an intelligent person's kind of decision.
What you're really saying is people who pay $100 for iPhones are stupid
since they could have paid $45 for an Android & gotten more functionality.

Comparing "iPhone" to "Android" in terms of sales and ownership is
rather pointless anyway because there is only one iPhone maker and
numerous Android makers (almost 1300 different phone brands!). Plus
there are a ton of el cheapo Android phones, many of which are simply
utter crap using old tech to achieve lower pricing.
If you compare actual makers, Apple has around 27.5% of the global
market, while their closest rival Samsung has 21.5% ... but even that
is misleading because Samsung do make el cheapo models (and foldable
models) while Apple only makes high-mid to higher end models.
You may as well compare Toyota to Ferrari ... completely different
markets and buyers.

And likewise, some buyers of Android (or Tesla/etc) are choosing these
for some aspect of 'status' too.
However, that some segment buys for reasons other than strictly utility shouldn't be a surprise, nor condemn that choice: it is the essence of
why the entire field of product marketing exists.
And goods which fake their desirability/status don't last long, so that
is straightforward to eliminate here from consideration.
But you & Marion are both missing the point that was being raised here, which is that higher affluence empowers greater fiscal frivolity, which
if this really was all about status/image as you're suggesting, these
owners would be promptly flipping to each new iPhone model ... but the ownership data shows that not only do they not, but they actually tend
to own their iPhones for longer than Android buyers own their Androids.
The ramifications here have a couple of likely possibilities:
a) Apple makes better hardware which allows it to last longer;
b) The hardware build is ~same, but Apple customers own longer because they're *less* vain about "shiny new thing" status symbols than Android.
YMMV, but neither of these are positive things for Android.
It means they have achieved a certain wealth level where they have
more disposable income and can purchase overpriced things. They donrCOt care >> that the value is not there, it just makes them look better in the yes of

Nope. The things which other consumers choose to assign value to in
their product selections is not something that you personally get to approve/condemn, just because your personal opinion for what
constitutes 'value' differs.
If you want to make a credible argument that something is an overpriced piece of junk, you need to remove your personal bias from the argument
that you make and transparently show objective metrics with actual data.
Not this emotional hand-waiving you're doing, 'Karen'.

Chris,
You don't even know what a "monolith" is, so stop it with that garbage.
Up until iOS 16's use of RSRs, Apple shipped iOS updates as a monolith.
It's only with iOS 16 RSRs that Apple joined the modern world of patches.
The fact you don't know this proves my point you know nothing about iOS.

Nobody doubts there is much more choice in the Android ecosystem.
Yet, my $30 phone has more functionality than any iPhone ever sold.
If an Apple moron says it didn't cost me $30, let them show us where they
saw more money coming out of my wallet since the reason they say that is
they were told they are stupid their whole lives and they are.

Simply false.
Remember, a single counter example proves you wrong:
iOS 15.2.1 weighed in at 870MB.
A lot, but a full install of iOS 15 is 2.2GB.
Ergo, the 15.2.1 update was not monolithic.

You only got that (one-off) deal because you had a contract with the provider. No-one could have got that deal walking into a shop. How much do you pay for your contract? Currently, I pay u7 pm.
You like to compare it to $1000 (sic) iphones when you conveniently omit
that you also got a special deal for your iphones.
It's also been proven that A-range Galaxy models are "crap" based on your
own definition.
iOS has NEVER been updated using the moronic method that Arlen claims. Which is, "Even if only a single line of code was changed, Apple ships the entire iOS out to every iPhone/iPad".
If Arlen the lying troll had even a SINGLE iPhone/iPad, he would know this because THE SIZE OF THE UPDATE YOU ARE GETTING IS SHOWN EVERY TIME YOU UPDATE.
And every update is a different size. How is that possible Arlen?
The most recent 18.6.2 update was around 750 MB. Is that the ENTIRE iOS Arlen? Why are full version updates so much larger Arlen? Why are you such a lying dipshit Arlen?
YMMV, but neither of these are positive things for Android.
c) Most Android models are el cheapo garbage that doesn't last long
(either physically breaking or using old tech that can't handle newer versions of Android).
d) Android users are clumsy and keep dropping their phones down the
toilet, leaving it on the car roof, etc., so have to buy a replacement.
e) Being el cheapo, criminals, tourists, etc. keep buying Android
phones as "burner" phones that get disposed of quickly and replaced.

Given your phone is a crap A range, you should compare to the entry level iphone which is about $500.

iphone, not as you always try claim a $1000 one. Not so hard was it?
To the point of this thread, that phone T-Mobile gave me in April of 2021 listed for an MSRP of less than $300 and at that time, it had more functionality than any iPhone ever sold.
And it still does even now.
If you could find something (anything!) that your iPhone can do that my
$300 MSRP Android can't do, now is the time for you to let us all know.
But stop saying only an iPhone can display the Apple logo.
That's not functionality. That's just branding.

You couldn't pass a single college exam, Chris,
Feeling fragile are you? Your attempts at insults speak more about you than >> anything else.
Chris,
You are the one who asks the same question a thousand times.
How many more thousands of times must I post those images?
Given your phone is a crap A range, you should compare to the entry level
iphone which is about $500.
Why? My whole point is EVERY ANDROID is more powerful than ANY iPhone.
My arguments are consistent. Sensible. Logical. Factual.
$1000 gets you an iphone Pro which is completely different market to the A >> range galaxies.
Be honest in comparing like for like. $30 vs $1000 is simply a lie.
The whole point is that every Android is more powerful than any iPhone.
That $300 phone has basic functionality that doesn't even exist on iPhones. >>False.
Well then, prove me wrong, Chris.
Am glad you agree that galaxy A range mobiles are "crap".
The point is
Plus, your crap A32 is no longer supported by Samsung whereas *every*
iphone on sale in 2021 is still fully supported by Apple and all bar the Xr (which was discontinued in 2021) will be supported for another year. At least.

Every statement from you shows you do not understand how Apple updates iOS. That fact alone is how I know all of you Apple trolls own a substandard IQ.
Because this isn't complicated stuff.
It's simple.
You've been given the link a thousand times so giving you the link a
thousand more times won't help you understand the fact that every Android phone on or above Android 10 is updated forever with Google's hotfixes.
Android 10 released on September 3, 2019.
The fact is the iPhone XS, XS Max & XR, which were current at that time,
are not capable of installing the current iOS release, which is iOS 26.

Patching a few random services is not full support.
If "forever" were true, why do Samsung and Google claim their phones are
only supported for seven years?

lol False. The current version is iOS 18 which does support those models.
iOS 26 is not out until next month.
For someone who says he can teach us everything about ios, that's a pretty basic failure.
That means those phones have been fully supported by Apple since 2018 (i.e.
7 years). Tell me which Samsung, Galaxy or other brands that are still
fully supporting phones sold in 2018.
