that new nothing phone 3a in blue has me questioning my phone sexuality. And at half the price of a new iphone its VERY tempting. How are google, samsung and apple producing the same shit year in year out with minimal upgrades charging such insane prices when this beautiful thing is innovative and so cheap?
Non starter anyway, nothing wrong with my phone. But when it does die... Why would I spend double the price of the nothing to just get another boring slab of steel and glass? Apples ecosystem is bloody nice. But Siri is still a disaster 5 years in, apple intelligence is DOA and if Steve Jobs were still around he'd have someone shot for the current state of iOS18.
Looks good. My pixel5 is getting long in the tooth, and google is losing my respect as a company. I wish phones came with a case. It'd be such a minor addition for the manufacturer to include one.
yeah thats why I jumped ship to apple. Completely over googles BS. But Apple seems to be be stuck in a bit of a rut as well.
iTunes kept me out of the apple ecosystem 20 odd years ago. I still manage my mp3s with directories.
Ah I jumped ship to spotify years ago. Now apple music for the better quality. Saves me a fortune of what I was paying in itunes for music.
