Sheesh, its about time for the 120 hz display. Others have only been putting those in their mid range phones for the past 12 years.

And honestly, after comparing the 14 Pro Max I had to the Samsung S22 Ultra I just bought, I'm not so sure Apple's screens are 120 hz. Maybe 90 at best. 

I don't understand why Apple takes so long to adopt certain technologies. So long, that I moved on...after 14 years of being a loyal Apple customer. I knew the moment I found out Jony Ive had checked out that Apple wasn't gonna be the same. But i stuck around anyway. In the end, I was right. They've been going down hill since the iPhone 7. I was so close to upgrading to the 15 Pro Max. I'm glad I didn't. So many issues. I'm enjoying my 2 year old refurbished Samsung more than my past 4 new iPhones. 

Are you concerned at all about android security?  That is the one thing that has kept me on iphone.  However,  security aside,  the latest Samsung phones are really impressive.  If android catches up in the actual and perceived security department i might have to jump ship and go android.  It’s still really tempting as it is.

I used to be, especially in the early days of using iPhone. That's what kept me there for so long, too. But over time, Android/Google/Samsung have come a long way. Besides, I don't do anything with any of my devices that would get me in a big security mess. 

The last 4 or 5 iPhones became so dull and with the help of a friend with her Samsung, I saw Android really is better in a lot of ways now.

I always bought the newest iPhones on day one, but lately they've scared me away from doing that (see iPhone 15 Pro.) So I didnt want to start with the S24 Ultra. I needed to see if I liked the Android platform first. So I bought a refurbished S22 Ultra, which showed up in immaculate condition. It looks brand new. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and I absolutely LOVE it!! I just traded in my Apple Watch 7 for a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic. Got $250 for the Apple. I'm about to list my iPhone 14 Pro Max on ebay soon. That's how confident I am that I'm staying in the Android world. It truly is amazing! I should've done it years ago!

Don't get me wrong, I still love Apple. I'm keeping my iMac, MacBook Air and iPad Air, but as for daily drivers, Android just gives me so much more freedom. 

Good thing they gave it up. Could you imagine...7 years of the same style car from Apple. With the only difference between model years being the color options and size of the tires. Every year they'll claim the windshield is twice as crack resistent as last year, yet not 1 person would notice cause it'll still crack easily. They'll remove the lighter socket cause, why the hell not. You don't need it. That's courage, mother f'r! They'll have a proprietary charging port that won't work with the existing infrastructure. They'll have a speed limiter set at 70 mph cause "they" feel that's the optimal operating speed. The center console would be called the "Dynamic Island." They'll claim every year you'll get 3 more hours out of your battery per charge yet not 1 person would notice that, either.

Oh, and they'll have an SE model, a Plus, a Max, a Pro, a Pro Max, an Ultra, an Ultra Pro, and Ultra Pro Max and an Ultra Pro Max Plus.
