I don’t feel like I’m being spied on every other day like I was with my Android phone. I remember talking about things I hadn’t even Googled yet on my phone and before I knew it an advertisement was popping up on various websites based on things I’d talk about in person. And this of course…  https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/study-reveals-android-phones-constantly-snoop-on-their-users/  I always try to follow these kinds of studies to see what exactly is going on with my phones.  The iPhone is a solid phone, though, and it’s pretty intuitive after learning how to use it. This is my first iPhone coming from years of Android phones. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah they say Linux phones aren’t quite there yet but it sounds like the Pro takes it a large step forward.  I’m just gonna go with a custom android rom when I find a suitable phone. I dont like how locked down ios is but it sure is better than Google spyware android. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Playstation Tablet 1,734 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 So my brother got the big iPhone 13. Played around with it. Aside from the camera whats so special about this thing, and why does it cost much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have no idea what you’re talking about.. per usual. We have a back button but can also just swipe right, like any Google phone since iPhone introduced it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
