The iPhone 7 is as innovative as a Jockstrap, probably a useful purchase in Mong Kok.

And look at this, how is such a wonderful product sold at that price, I got far more money for my Note 5 which would be comparable. I thought Androids are worth twopence.




get over to Cupertino Jack, you are the braindead type they need to reignite sales.

Getting yourself confused here.
Apple fanboys have a tendency to be like this.

Is Jack paying you much for this? Hand jobs maybe?

Well done, good work. Paid for what, exactly? Explaining to you that you're being played like a fiddle. I'm sure Jack is great at giving a hand shandy but this is for free. You seem to be a beginner at internets.

So, I'm figuring you're one of those Trump supporting types. Paranoid that everyone is out to get them and they are trying to take away their guns etc. But in your case you are afraid that an iPhone fan will take away your Android phone?

I own two android phones - who exactly is confused, here? Try harder, Sisyphus.

All I see is jack changing the subject when I make things difficult for him.
Almost everyone on the planet owns Android devices. That won't change anytime soon.

Fanboys are all the same..stuck up idiots who are scared to say anything negative about the company at all.

You only recently joined this discussion which leads me to believe Jack has enlisted your help...personal favours maybe.

I heard good things about facetime.

Nope, you don't get it. Not even the Sisyphus ref. So, I only recently joined the discussion, and what? I sat and watched your posts, an awe. Like watching someone trying to close a black hole by throwing matter into it.

You recently joined Scoobynet, therefore you must be a Samsung executive, in collusion with Google, an agent of doom against the mighty Apple empire - smite! omfg

Toffee Pie, I'm about to board a 10 hour flight, that gives you plenty of time to write down a list of things you've said that made things difficult for me. As far as I can tell you've done nothing but make it easy for me to reel you in.

Here's a few things for you to chew on.

You used to bang on about the quality of the Samsung display, and I agreed, it's a nice display. Apple then released a display that when reviewed by a professional body was deemed to be the most perfect display ever, that's not just mobile phones. So, do you accept that the iPhone now has a very nice display?

You started here by banging on about stats, even posted some false information showing the Samsung outperforming the iPhone. The real stats show that the iPhone is in a different league, do you now agree that the iPhone has better stats.

Ah!!! Two will do for now, boarding.

A bit more fuel for the fire now I'm in my seat, not using a Samsung note so it's allowed on the plane.

Just how dirty is this?

Apple are behind the times Jack in sales and in global market share, seems like the coy people in Cupertino wont even release iphone sales now Jack...

be a good lad and catch up in a year, they have a head start now with Samsung floundering the Note 7.

Apple will be all out now with a new 21st century iPhone next year, an updated 24 or 32bit DAC maybe to go along with the hi res display and fast charging.

very dirty Jack, I have said a few times here that Samsung screwed up on the Note 7 and I made a decision not to buy one a while back. Surely Apple have no excuse now to gain market share and take a whole load of would be Note 7 purchasers onto the mighty iPhone 7 plus, its not what they wanted but sometimes second best is better than nothing.
They need to choose between black, and ...black- decisions, decisions.

now you saying anything against Apple, now that would be telling.

Jack I have been whipping you about here like a wet fish for a while now and you routinely change topic, I wont bother digging up old posts here but you have ample time it seems these days...

lets start on the sad Apple watch? you said a roaring success? I said about 4% of people who bought the Iphones over the same period bought one. And that is from hard core fanboys.

Thats just one example....

you never replied about the 'innovation' on an iPhone 7, please do tell - almost everything on that is either outdated or already used elsewhere.

I can think of many great inventions but the iPhone 7 doesnt spring to mind.

I haven't changed the subject at all, the only topic here for over a month now is just how dumb can you be. I doubt you'll find one person who disagrees with that.

4% of iPhone users still makes Apple the second biggest watch manufacturer in the world, now if that's not a roaring success in the first year then I'm not sure what else they could do. They sold more Smartwatches than every other manufacturer in existence in the first month for gods sake.

For innovation you only need to look at the display, you were convinced that OLED was the superior technology but then Apple broadside you by releasing an LCD display that outperforms not only the best OLED display available but is tested as the most perfect ever tested, that includes desktops... that right there is innovation. Look up Wide Colour Gamut.

What about the new chips, all Apple designed not off the shelf like your beloved Samsung, world leading and innovative.

Innovation doesn't have to be visible from the outside.

But don't take my word for it, the Anandtech review was just released

To my eyes, Android watch's look is much better. But I still won't buy Android rubbish.

I won't buy Apple watch either, due to its 'too square' look. I'll buy it when Apple start making prettier watches.
