The iPhone really is an excellent product but these days android phones are comparable and don't have the high pricepoint or the consumer guilt.

Yeah I agree, wish I could go back but I was sort of forced into it with my phone upgrade. Oh well. Was only $200 for the upgrade from a flip phone to an iphone 5 :/

Lmao, I was just reminded how terrible of a company Apple is. A month or so back my iphone 5 charger cable literally lit on fire so I ordered these 2 extra long cables from some random 3rd party on ebay for like $3. They worked great (reached from my bed to my computer :D) until today. iOS7 doesn't allow third party cables and straight up disables them so you're forced to spend $40 on an AUTHENTIC APPLE USB CABLE!!

Anyone know of any workarounds? Should be pretty easy to disable the thing that checks the authenticity of the cables if jailbroken.

The workaround that works best for me is to not buy apple shit.

What phone do you have?

A five year old random samsung one.

Dat esports.

The high pricepoint is not really an argument against the iphone since it's the same price as high end androids on contract.

It is when you have to buy 40$ USB cables and 30$ headsets.

Or when it costs 200$ to upgrade. I'm willing to bet Shake could have gotten an Android smartphone for under 200$.

Just wait, they're working on a proprietary plug.

Is that true?

Because it might be a joke but I 100% believe it.

This is all untrue. It's straight up $199 on contract without having to do an upgrade. The adapter, usb cable, and earbuds with mic come with the phone.

You need more than one cable. One for charger one for car one for computer. No one really wants to keep bringing along their cable for each of these.

Plus I mean, a quick google search can show you over a dozen non-Apple smartphones under 200$ with no required contract.

wat. you're just making up edge use cases now. If I really need to charge my iphone in the car (which I don't because listening to music via a normal 3.5mm audio cable uses an insignificant amount of battery), I'll just unplug the cable and put it in my pocket. It's not that hard.

You can dislike the product or the company, but arguments that the iphone is too expensive is baseless.

yea... I can get a shitty phone for free too. Notice how I specifically said "high end androids". The Samsung S4 is $199, so is the iPhone 5s. I'm sorry but your pricing argument is completely invalid.

It's very hard for me to seriously entertain an argument that apple products are not too expensive.

I mean, what? Are you serious?

yes. I'm completely serious. If you think $199 is too expensive (which I have no problem with), then you should be complaining about high end smartphone prices, not specifically the iphone.

What? I have 4 cables for my smartphone. It's not an edge case at all. I have a cable with my laptop bag, one constantly attached to my main desktop, one attached to the charger next to my bed and one for my car. I have friends with iphones who have to haul around their cable with them because they dont want to spend 40 bux for another cable. Luckily for me I have all the cables I need from just having abunch of previous devices that use the same cable. [Using galaxy s4]

Never understood the smartphone craze in the first place

I have phone to call and get call
Sometimes I have phone to text message and get text message

y my phone need be smart 4 that?
Mine does that real good and it was also way cheaper and the battery still runs for weeks after those years cleary great craftsmanship and in true samsung fashion the charger cables are all pretty much the same so if u need additional one just take from previous phone/somebody else that ever had a samsung in his life.

Only downside is the phone is dumb but tbh i cant imagine smartphones are all that smart in the first place

Galaxy s4 way cheaper than iphone. Was 150 at walmart and you got 50 dollar walmart giftcard after the purchase. No such deal for iphone. Not to mention the real price should be based on non contract price imo.

Smartphone is great. Let me shitpost wherever I am.
