My phone is terribly slow. It sits on the table, completely inert. It still has buttons to press. I don't use it to take pics of my privates to send to others. It's just a phone to talk to people on. There is no message bank, if it's an important matter they'll call again. It recently got unearthed from the cupboard as Telstra has graciously put in a tower, so I now have reception. So do app 30 other people. The rest of the area is still in the anti-matter hole, relying on copper line. Their phones are also slow.

Do we really think Apple is truly sorry?.............Nah, they'll make up for it by trashing Federation Square instead.

I've been tempted to go back to iPhone for my next phone, it's a love hate thing with Apple for me, love my MacBook but they seem to do everything to maximise profits. This may have annoyed me enough to make me stick with Samsungs.

You’re deluding yourself if you think Samsung isn’t in it to maximise profits, they’re just not as successful at it

Samsung uses a lot more glue to put their phones together and as a result are a lot more expensive to repair than iPhones. A lot of people would opt for a new phone when seeing the cost of repairs to an out of warranty or accident damaged Samsung phone.

OK, correction:

You would be deluding yourself to think that any corporation isn’t in this game to maximise their profits

And in the case of Samsung, it does so by blatantly copying its competitors products, although to be fair a lot of that credit goes to Google, since Samsung buys into their ecosystem. This isn’t just rampant speculation, it’s been proven in the sanctity of truth, the US courts...
