There's also a significant difference between 12 and 4gb ram. Apple have the A13 in its arsenal. That's good for them but the other suppliers will catch up soon enough and for less money. In regards apps and otb I didn't notice any of the iPods I owned being any more stable than a generic mp4 and the web is littered with stories of issues with apple iOS. Just my experience. I accept your argument about throwing together phones with on paper spec that doesn't benchmark well but you need to also accept that until the A13 came out, they was nothing in the iPhones that set it apart. Sometimes it scored better, sometimes it didn't but it always cost more.

I gave you a lot of information but apparently you cannot read or understand it. The S10 has significant qualities over the iPhone 11 but not totally, I accept that. The price of a new iPhone 11 is 850, that's much more expensive than the S10 at 590 (carphonewarehouse.ie). Prepay iPhone locked is more expensive than an unlocked sim free S10. Jeez, it's more expensive than the new s20 and now that I look again, my phone has 4gb ram and it cost me 300! You like the os more, that's fine but accept that you paid more for less spec as a result

The following year, we had to get work mobiles which are all Samsungs. Shocking difference - the Samsungs are terrible in comparison - difficult to use, find your way around, apps that are downloaded are not easy to locate etc. Even stuff like diverting calls involves having to Google the solution. Everyone I work with who has an iPhone for personal use feels the same about their Samsungs.

When I see designer labels, especially the really expensive ones, I judge those folk as brand whores, those who want to show off their wealth. When I see Apple anything, I automatically assume they've been assimilated by Apple, and stick them into the same category as above. When I see people driving SUV's and jeeps such as the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, Merc GLC, or all those other jeeps that actually can't go off road, I put them in the above bracket too, and I genuinely hate those that have no need for one but still buy them, as most can't drive them anyway. When I see people driving BMW's in general I assume they're pricks. When I see someone in a shell suit or general tracksuit/runners combo, I assume they're scumbags (you know the look, the one which kids/teens these days are copying). When I see a Toyota Avensis, I assume traveller. That's all I can think of for now, but I make assumptions on basically everyone on a range of things, but I keep it to myself mostly.

The driver is almost always a 40 something shirt wearing male, full to the brim of their own self importance. Most likely works in a role that actually involves no actual work but earns a disproportionately large wage. This wage is then spent on an obscenely overpowered car as a feeble means to shore up their rapidly diminishing manhood. Their weekends are spent sinking pints of Heineken, watching rugby and wearing sunglasses in doors. They go home with their equally self important wives, but no sexual intimacy is attempted as years of office work and terrible Danish beer has killed the urge. Instead once Monday rolls around this soft male will drive like arse as it is their only outlet. I drive a Toyota and use a Nokia smart phone.

Didn't know him very well, but he had a brand new white BMW saloon. He used to park it at an angle in his driveway with the wheels turned, all the time. I'd say he was out cleaning the wheels on it every weekend and giving it a proper wash and wax. Car was kept immaculately clean and he was forever taking photos of, and with, it (often with completely unnecessary sunglasses). This is just from seeing him across the road from time to time. I wasn't his friend on Facebook or such so never actually seen the photos. I figured he either always wanted one, and was so so happy to finally have it, or he was after financing it and was up to his eyes in debt on it. Either way, I figured fair play to him, at least he has it and he's happy as larry. I think he's an idiot, but he seems happy so what harm is he doing. Turns out it was a company car. He got sacked for something (don't know the specifics) and the car disappeared. About a week later a battered old Mazda 3 arrived in the driveway (wasnt parked in the middle of the drive, at an angle with the wheels turned, strangely). I often wonder does he still pretend online to have the BMW. Or did he pretend it was his own and then have to explain suddenly 'selling it' and buying an old banger instead. I've always wanted to ask, but it's none of my business, really. As for me, I'm a childless man with a 12 year old, 7 seater ford Galaxy, and I love it. I had one before, and missed it when it was got rid of (wrote off/accident). I'd say loads of people think it's a big pile of sh/te, but I love it.

"I wish this phone was less restricted" I've had android phones in the past for work and hated them. IOS just works and i'll gladly pay a premium for it. Price or value for money aren't my primary considerations. If they were i'd probably suffer a Samsung.
