Well, this is the forum of WTF, so the fact that you posted naught but "Everything works fine" means that readers should delve into finding what WTF made you possibly post such a statement.

Apple products are usually great on first-time-use as they pay lots of attention on the first time image of product.
Now wait until you need to upgrade the product for the first time... :P

Your autocorrect seems a bit off, though.

@Mikael_Svahnberg pear?

Should have got a Lumia 950

Your iPhone has a gun to your head, right? Call me a cunt once for yes, twice for no

@cheong So far I have owned 5 apple products and tbh I haven't have a problem.
I've been using macs since OSX 10.3 (uni) and they still work fine and mostly it works the same. I had Android Devices that don't get updated after a year, probably because there is nobody in Samsung or whoever that is doing a Rom. Then when I did buy a motorola (as close to a nexus device that isn't quite nexus) so the version of Android isn't laden with crap ware you can't remove ... they break SMS and Phone calls ...
I use my phone as a phone most of the the time and the PDA stuff is extra ... not the other way around.

Funny how this kind of stuff happens to everyone other than me, apparently.
My stuff doesn't break unless I break it myself (cyanogenmod)
-
@sloosecannon I was using a Moto X + 1.
The SMS broke when updating to whatever Android 6 is called now. Almost everyone in the UK uses SMS (it is unlimited messaging basically on most contracts).
I've smashed the Moto X + 1 and needed another phone asap so I bought a Moto G at Car Phone Warehouse.
Unless I shout (I don't have a quiet voice, If I do shout I can usually take on a mega phone in volume) people complain they can't here me etc.
So I just bought the iPhone 6s because quite frankly loads of people have used it and Apple stuff despite the lock in works pretty well.

Hmm, yeah system upgrades on any OS are always a pain. Generally though, a factory reset can fix that.
-
@sloosecannon Why would i want to do a factory reset when I have all my phone numbers, data, pictures etc (I have most of this done via dropbox app etc). It isn't acceptable. I don't want to have to fuck around with that crap.
When Apple release an update it works.

It would only delete the phone numbers and data. And only if you don't have them backed up to a cloud provider (usually Google). A factory reset for me is mainly a pain just because it takes a while.........

Is this the way that most programmers think?

@lucas1 NULL
-
While I do really like Apple's UI designs, I heavily disagree with them on their philosophy that they know better than I do about what I want. I.e., the lack of customizability compared to Android devices. That said, fruitPhones usually just work. So if it works and you like it, awesome!
-
@Erufael Oh the usual lack of customizing argument. It is bullshit. most people use whatever UI is on the phone and add their usual apps via the store.
-
@lucas1 Whatever UI? What, pray tell, do you mean by that?
Edit: I may have misread that. Not sure
-
iTunes is cancer. I can't uninstall it from my Windows 7 machine.

It doesn't delete anything on your
/sdcard
partition. So it only deletes application data (anything under/data
, skipping/data/media
) and phone numbers (which is technically also application data, but meh). And if you are like 90% of users, your phone numbers are backed up to your Google Account, along with a fair bit of your application data. So........
-
@lucas1 Well, at least android appeals to that 10⁻¹⁰⁰% of the population.
-
@sloosecannon Fuck the SD CARD. I want things like SMS and contacts transferred or saved.
Because I use my phone as a Phone. Maybe it is me being an "oldfag", but I use my smartphone as a Nokia 3210 first and the rest is an extra.

Yes.
Like I said, contacts will be transferred and saved in the default configuration of "backed up to Google Account"
SMS and phone calls can be very very easily transferred using free apps and some SMS apps even have backup/restore built in.

LOL so nothing official, which means I don't trust it to do a proper job. This is why I have been paying for Office 365 and Apple stuff as time goes on because "it just works".

As you do with that particular app, given that the developer is very responsive.

@sloosecannon I am talking about hardware and OS support ..

You do with Android too?
Unless you buy from Shady McChinaSite Corp, Inc or something
-
@sloosecannon No, I don't.
I buy in the UK a phone, I don't buy a contract or anything else. I buy the phone totally 100% indepedant from EE.
Android OS support has always whether the network and the manufactuer will issue the update.
With Motorola that wasn't as bad.
But with Apple you get iOS updates as part usually ... you won't always get that on an Android device.
BTW Cynagen mod etc, fuck that I ain't using it.

I think Apple tend to break old applications when upgrading OS versions? I have a friend that owns an App that won't run after he upgrade to iOS8, and there is no new version of the App because the vendor had already went out-of-business.
And then there are people who found the App they bought is lost after the upgrade because the App is pulled from the shelf, but these are Apps that they've paid already. And there were no way for the vendor to sideload the App to their customer. (XCode 7 was not exist at that time, and even if it were, it'd require a Mac to run)

Last night I was summoned by my grandfather to take a look at his HP Slate 21. When the All-in-One Android machine boots up, it request password to decrypt storage. Since noone has set any password on the machine (except for the Google Play Store account) noone know the password to unlock it. Also since there is no network connection to internet, why did it happened is not known. (My grandfather really use it as Mahjong game console that, he just play the standalone version of the game without using it to do anything else)
Fortunately he don't have any important data set there so factory reset is acceptable, but why did the problem exist in the beginning is still an unknown to me.
Btw, I'll let out a rant that out of all the relatives in my family, I'm the only one who don't own an Android device. Yet I was summoned for help just because I work in I.T. industry...#%#$@%@

@cheong Did you try using the Google Play Store password?

I'd use the PIN actually. 90% sure that's what they're looking for
