You won’t entertain the notion that Apple sell a decent product and yet I’m the narrow minded one... Right.

used to sell maybe, now the products are as buggy as the competition, technologically lower spec, yet they charge considerably more money for it.

5mb download! What a *****. Still no sign of your gigabyte speeds, should be real easy, just take a screenshot.

Ah but to do that he’d have to also highlight the bit in his quote that says “theoretical peak speed”

If you're a fanboy it's cutting edge (high five anyone?) but for everyone else it's shiite
And I keep asking you to show me those speeds I’m missing out on, and you can’t deliver because you’re a ******** who has no credibility.

And yet again you’re agonising over a minute detail. There’s far more to a device than the speed figures you’re forever bashing on about.

You forget that i also use an iphold 7 and it isn't decent for what they charge for it, although i didnt pay for it compared to the competition. There are much better phones out there with better tech for hundreds less. It's not rocket science you fool.

Must be terrible going back to a phone that only vibrates and only has on and off for touch sensitivity. Do any android phones have any tech that’s not in an iPhone 6? Not talking bigger numbers, real technical, hardware differences.

Custard Pie, you showed a picture from the Internet, show us the gigabit speeds I’m missing out on on your phone. Come on, you keep banging on about it, show us.

Agreed its awful, i only use the 7 when i absolutely have to for work.

What you should be asking is why my company hasn't upgraded from the 7's and are now rolling out androids instead And it isn't about cost as we are extremely cash rich.

Thank you, an admission at last. So you've kept my thread alive and made yourself look a tit for technology that you won't be able to use in the life of your device. Idiot.

I wonder why they chose to edit it so the top and bottom of the device looks like a Samsung, the iPhone screen doesn't have that gap.



Probably to make people like you feel better about your choices.

You see a notch, I see two extra bits of screen, far more useful on the top than on the sides no?

I don't get paid by Apple I get a laugh out of your stupidity every day and do it for nothing, in fact it costs me a fortune in custard pie.

That’s not an app, it’s the lock screen you tit. Can you explain why they’d do that? Why fake an image when there are tons on Apple.com.

I didnt think youre credibility could take a dip, but here we are.

I dont talk talk about the iPhone X as much as you, amazing but true. I bought an iPhone 8 Plus because I believe it will last me longer than an X, it was just under 1k 👍

I did a quick search on internet carriers 4g network speed and the max they say you can get is 300mb but the majority only achieve about 20mb with EE making their top download speed 60mb.

I’m pretty area and time will affect the 4g speeds.

Oh dear, that's by choice, you don't have to use the entire screen. Have a look at your favourite Samsung and their edge devices, according to you half the movie would be wrapped around the edge of the screen, I'm sure that's not the case.

You need to read less fake news.

my guess is you are too dumb to know or care - in fact you probably installed screentest just recently to get speeds based on my thread.

so right, you mainly bough the ihpone 8 as its lower in cost than the notch - if the notch was less expensive you probably would have taken the plunge i bet. Which goes to show even devout fanatics find it over priced.

no idea what you are on about lock screens, you are getting stressed out on here i think you need some chillax pills before you end up in a&e
Show me an adroid device from a few years ago that's as fast as the iPhone 8

Here's the scores https://browser.geekbench.com/ios_devices/51

Worth noting that the 8 is faster than the x

Don't let facts get in the way, TP needs a gigabit modem, it matters not that he'll never use it.

You do understand what theoretical means right?

I think he actually needs help, his posting is so far into the realms of crazy obsessive it’s unreal. Either that or he’s quite some way down the autistic spectrum and his carer has left him unsupervised on the Internet again.

I know, ran out of things to slag the iPhone off for and has doubled down on a modem that nobody can use.

Funniest was yesterday when he was slagging off the iPhone's wifi speed, same chip as his

I'm starting to feel guilty, back in the days of the Blackberry there was a poster that was such a Blackberry fanboy he couldn't take the banter, ended up on extra medication!
