Apple waxa ay doonaysaa in aad u malaynayso in iPhone ka badan yahay casriga ah. Waa inaad u aragtaa inay tahay astaan ​​xaaladeed, qalab tignoolajiyada sare leh, iyo bayaan moodada ah, oo dhamaantood la isku rogay. Laakiin run ahaantii, iPhone waa ka yar yahay casriga ah. Haddii aad qorsheyneyso inaad iibsato iPhone 13 ama aad u wareegeyso nidaamka deegaanka ee Apple , marka hore akhri tan. Waa kuwan saddex iyo toban sababood oo uu iPhone-ku dhab ahaan u nuugo:

Nidaamka hawlgalka

Haddii aad eegto farsamooyinka farsamada, iPhone ma aha qalab xun. Waxay leedahay chipset-ka ugu dhaqsaha badan adduunka, kamaraduhu waa quruxsan yihiin, xitaa cabbirka batteriga waa ku habboon yahay taxanaha cusub ee iPhone 13. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, IOS waa waxa aniga ii burburiya waayo-aragnimada. Waa tan sababta:

1. Habaynta? Waa maxay habaynta?

Hadda, waxaan lahaa wax ka badan saamigayga caddaaladda ah ee iPhones iyo taleefannada casriga ah ee Android , laakiin waxay dareemayaan inay ka duwan yihiin sifo “fudud” ah: habaynta. Qalabka Android , waxaad nadiifin kartaa shaashadda guriga^{(Home screen)} , waxaad ka dhigi kartaa mid aad u yar, ama waxaad u habeyn kartaa rabitaanka wadnahaaga. Barnaamijyo badan ayaa leh widgets iyaga u gaar ah oo aad dib u cabbiri karto, habayn karto, oo dib u dhigi karto. On iPhones, waxaad ku xayiran tahay isla shaashado qasan oo ay ka buuxaan apps. Ma doonaysaa in aad nadiifiso shaashadda^{(Home screen)} gurigaaga ? Hubaal, aad awoodo, marka laga reebo iPhone ma laha fikrad meel bannaan oo u dhexeeya icons. Markaa haddii aad meesha ka saarto astaanta, calaamadaha kale ee ku yaal isla shaashadda si dhakhso ah ayey u wareegayaan si ay u qaataan booskooda. Nasiib wacan kala soocida astaanta abka ee shaashadda guriga^{(Home screen)} !

Shaashadda Hoyga^(Home) IPhone oo ka soo horjeeda shaashadda Guriga Android^{(Android Home)} ( Google Pixel 4a )

Laakiin sug, waxaad odhan kartaa, iPhones hadda waxay leeyihiin Widgets oo aad ku dhejin karto shaashadda^{(Home screens)} gurigaaga ! Miyaysan faa'iido lahayn? Hagaag, haa, waa haddii aad nadiifiso shaashadda guriga^{(Home screen)} marka hore, taas oo aadan awoodin, ugu yaraan ilaa xad inta taleefannada casriga ah ee Android ay kuu oggolaanayaan.

2. Maktabada App waa mid aad u xun

Saaxiibaday waxay leedahay farxad murugo leh oo ku rakibida DHAMMAAN apps-ka iPhone SE (2016) ee^{(iPhone SE (2016))} hore . Waxay dhab ahaantii haysataa toban shaashadood oo guriga ah^{(Home screens)} , dhammaantoodna gebi ahaanba faa'iido ma leh, tan iyo markii ay adeegsato hawsha Raadinta^(Search) si ay u bilowdo abka. Hubaal, oo leh noocyo cusub oo macruufka ah, waxaad kaliya kaga tagi kartaa abkaaga Maktabada App^{(App Library)} -ka , laakiin marka la barbar dhigo khaanadaha App^{(App drawer)} -ka ee laga heli karo taleefannada Android, Maktabada Appku^{(App Library)} waa kaftan.

Maktabadda App^(App) -ka iPhone oo ka soo horjeeda khaanadaha App-ka Android^{(Android App)}

Waa wax aan caqli-gal ahayn, qaybaha lama magacaabi karo ama dib loo habayn karo, iyo isticmaale iPhone cusub ahaan, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad akhrido toban bog oo Reddit ah si aad u ogaato inaad geli karto "sawir-qaadaha", liiska abka ee habka alifbeetada, adigoo dhuuqaya. ka soo deg xagga sare ee maktabadda Appka^{(App library)} . Oh, iyo jeexjeexyada keega: inta aad ku jirto taleefanka Android , waxaad geli kartaa khaanadaha App^{(App drawer)} -ka adiga oo kor u qaadaya ama isticmaalaya badhanka go'an, iPhones-ka waxaad geli kartaa oo keliya maktabadda App^{(App Library)} -ka adiga oo ku dhufanaya dhammaadka shaashadaha^{(Home screens)} gurigaaga . Iyada oo toban ka mid ah kuwa ku jira iPhone saaxiibteed, malaha yaa isticmaali doonin sifadan aan faa'iido lahayn mar dhow?

3. Ruuxa badhanka dhabarka

Noloshayda ma fahmi karo sababta Apple aysan weli u xalin arrinta badhanka Back . Iyada oo ku xidhan abka aad isticmaalayso, ku noqoshada ama ka bixista liiska hadda jira waxa loo sameeyaa mid ka mid ah siyaabaha soo socda:

• Ku^(Back) dhagsiga badhanka dambe ee geeska bidix ee sare ee shaashadda (sida caadiga ah, badhan aad u yar ama falaar ayaa la dhigaa meel aan suurtagal ahayn in la galo haddii aad telefoonkaaga ku hayso gacanta midig oo aanad isticmaali karin labada gacmood)
• Ku^(Back) dhagsiga badhanka dambe ee geeska bidix ee hoose ee shaashadda ( Safari , Chrome )
• Si toos ah uga xaaqid cidhifka shaashadda (sifada shaki la'aan “ay dhiirigelisay” tilmaanta la midka ah ee ka jirta taleefannada casriga ah ee Android )
• Ka xaaqid midig dhanka hoose ee shaashadda ( Safaari^(Safari) , Chrome )
• Hoos u dhufan - sababtoo ah maxaa diidaya? ( Sawirro^(Photos) )

Waxa ka sii daran in dhaqdhaqaaqyada isku midka ahi ay samayn karaan waxyaabo kala duwan, taas oo ku xidhan app-ka aad isticmaalayso. Tusaale ahaan, abka Instagram - ka, ku celcelinta saxda ah ayaa fureysa kamarada. Haddii aad ka imanayso talefanka Android , halkaas oo aad ku riixdo Back in the Instagram app-ka waxay ku geynaysaa meesha ugu sarreysa quudintaada oo ay soo cusboonaysiiso waxa ku jira, waxaad si dhakhso ah u xanaaqi doontaa. Waxaa jira tusaalooyin kale oo badan oo iswaafaqsanaan la'aan ah, laakiin rooxaanta badhanka^{(Back )} dhabarka ayaa in muddo ah haleeshay aaladaha Apple .

4. Apple necbahay tusaha boqolkiiba batteriga

IOS 15-ka cusub, ee la hagaajiyay wuxuu keenayaa hab cusub oo la wanaajiyey oo lagu muujinayo boqolleyda batteriga ee barta xaaladda, oo ku xigta astaanta batteriga. Sug^(Wait) ma waxaan idhi keenaa^(brings) ? Maya, waan ka xumahay, waxaan ula jeeday wax ka saar ^(removes)Ma jiro meel u oggolaanaysa boqolleyda batteriga in lagu soo bandhigo astaanta batteriga agteeda. Si aad u muujiso boqolleyda batteriga^(Battery) , waxaad u baahan tahay inaad isticmaasho widget-ka baytariga, ama waxaad hoos ka soo jiid kartaa dhanka midig ee sare ee shaashadda, laakiin taasi waxay xallisaa qayb ka mid ah dhibaatada. Dariiqa loo maro!

5. Kiiboodhka waa doqon

Waxaan qirayaa in tani ay tahay nooc ka mid ah sabab macquul ah, oo kaliya lagu dabaqi karo gobollada qaarkood. Haddii aad u baahan tahay (ama aad rabto) inaad ku qorto laba luqadood oo isku jumlad ah (ama aad mararka qaarkood milicsato isticmaalka ereyada Ingiriisiga markaad ku qorayso luqadaada hooyo), waxaad u baahan tahay inaad ka beddesho kiiboodhka hal luqad una beddelo mid kale, haddii kale si toos ah ayaa loo saxayaa qoraalkaaga qas.

Beddelida kiiboodhka hore iyo dibba waa wax laga xumaado

Waxaa jira hab lagu qoro laba luqadood iyada oo aan si toos ah loo saxin dhimashada, laakiin taasi waa run kaliya haddii luqadda kale ay tahay mid ay Apple u aragto inay muhiim u tahay in lagu sameeyo qaamuus. Maaddaama aysan jirin hab lagu daro ama lagu soo dejiyo qaamuusyada iPhone-ka, kiisaska kale ee loo isticmaalo (sida anaga kuwa saboolka ah ee Bariga Yurub^(Europeans) , kuwaas oo inta badan ku daraya ereyada Ingiriisiga afkeena hooyo), xalka kaliya ayaa ah in la rakibo kumbuyuutarka dhinac saddexaad, sida SwiftKey cajiibka ah . Isagoo ka hadlaya horay loo rakibay oo ka dhanka ah qolo saddexaad…

6. apps-ka la xidhxidhay waa dhexdhexaad

In kasta oo afartan ama wax la mid ah apps ay kuxiran yihiin iPhones^{(apps bundled with iPhones)} (haa, inbadan) maaha kuwo xun, sidoo kale kuma jiraan kuwa ugu fiican. Khariidadaha Apple^{(Apple Maps)} waxaa hadheeyay dhiggeeda Google , App-ka ^(Google)Mail waa ku filan yahay, iyo badi abka kale ee horay loo rakibay, waxaa jira beddelaadyo ka wanaagsan oo la heli karo.

Khariidadaha Apple^{(Apple Maps)} waxa laga yaabaa inay u ekaato si ka wanaagsan, laakiin way ka faa'iido yar tahay Khariidadaha Google^{(Google Maps)}

Sidii aan horayba u soo sheegay, waxaan u maleynayaa in qalabka iPhone-ka cusub uu yahay mid aad u adag. Way ka fiican tahay software-ka uu ku shaqeynayo, laakiin tani macnaheedu maaha inaysan jirin wax arrimo ah oo ku saabsan naqshadeynta iPhone ama qalabka. Waxaan ku bilaabayaa in…

7. Apple necbahay dekedaha isku xidhka

Haddii ay jiri lahayd abaal-marin loogu talagalay ka saarista sifooyinka, iPhones ayaa qaadan lahaa sannad kasta. Weligay ma cafiyi doono Apple inay meesha ka saartay jaakadda dhegaha. Tani, feker ahaanteyda, waa dembi ka dhan ah deegaanka, maadaama ay ku qasbeyso isticmaalaha inuu iibsado taleefannada gacanta ee wireless-ka badankoodana waxay noqdaan qashinka elektaroonigga ah ka dib markii baytariyadu dhammaadaan (laba sano ama ka badan). Taas bedelkeeda, sameecado dhegaha la gashado ayaa si fudud u jiri kara shan sano.

Laga bilaabo iPhone 7, waxaad isticmaali kartaa oo keliya taleefoonnada gacanta ee Apple oo leh taleefoonnada gacanta ee bilaa-waayirka ah

Haddii aad rajo ka qabto adigoo tilmaamaya in Apple ay iibiso dhowr adapters-ka-hawlgalayaasha hillaaca-madaxa-^{(Lightning-to-headphone)} madaxaeedka ah, waxaan noqon doonaa midka duminaya rajadaada: waxaa jira warar xan ah oo sheegaya in Apple ay meesha ka saari doonto dallacaadda^{(there are rumors that Apple will remove the charging port)} soo socota, taasoo ka dhigaysa iPhone-ka gebi ahaanba wireless. qalab.

8. Kaydinta la fidin karo waxaa u ah kuwa khasaaray

Apple waxay u badan tahay inay tixgeliso in lagugu ciqaabo iibsashada iPhone adigoon si taxadar leh u tixgelin isticmaalka booska kaydinta. Taasi waxay noqon kartaa mid ka mid ah sababaha iPhones aysan wali u taageerin balaadhinta kaydinta da'da gantaalada xoojiyaha dib loo isticmaali karo iyo xisaabinta tirada. Dhanka kale, sanadka 2021, in ka badan 350 taleefannada casriga ah ee Android oo leh kayd la fidin karo ayaa la bilaabay.

Meesha kaydinta ee iPhone 12 iyo Samsung A51

Tani xitaa ma noqon doonto heshiis sidaas u weyn haddii aad si fudud ugu wareejin karto faylasha warbaahinta kumbuyuutarka. Laakiin maya, maxaad u awoodaysaa inaad jiiddo^{(drag & drop)} oo aad sawirada iPhone ku xidhato^{(connected iPhone)} darawal adag oo maxalli ah? Aad bay u fududaan lahayd!

9. Aaladaha^(Apple) iyo agabka tufaaxa waxay ku kacayaan cudud iyo lug

Jeex-jeex aad u wanaagsan oo iPhone 13 Pro ah oo uu qoray Techinsights^{(authored by Techinsights)} ayaa ku qiyaasay kharashaadka dhismihiisa 570 USD , marka la barbar dhigo qiimaheeda 999 USD . Laakiin lacagta caddaanka ah ee dhabta ah waxay ku dhacdaa qalabka: kharashka wax soo saarka ee AirPods waxaa lagu qiyaasaa 50-70 USD^{(estimated at 50-70 USD)} , marka la barbardhigo qiimaha tafaariiqda ee 179 USD^{(retail price of 179 USD)} . Fiilada dallacadu waa 19 USD , hillaaca^(Lightning) fudud ilaa adabtarada taleefoonka dhegaha waa 9 USD liiskuna^(USD) wuu socdaa. Laakin wali rajo ayaa jirta^{(there is still hope)} .

Fiilooyinka asalka ah ee Apple waxay ku kacayaan lacag badan

10. Dayactirka iPhone waxay ku kacaysaa gacanta iyo lugta kale… ama sifada

Markaad tuurto iPhone 13-kaaga cusub, codka dilaaca ee aad maqashid maaha shaashada, waa akoonkaaga bangiga. Aalad 800 USD ah, ku beddelashada shaashada Bixiyaha Adeegga Imansan ee Apple^{(Apple Authorized Service Provider)} qiimihiisu waa 280 USD .

Qalabyada qaar ayaa laga heli karaa oo keliya Bixiyeyaasha Adeegga Iman ee Apple^{(Apple Authorized Service)}

Laakiin maxaa dhacaya haddii adeegga idman ee kuugu dhow uu 2-300 mayl u jiro? Ama haddii, male-awaal kasta, aadan awoodin? Markaa waxa ay u badan tahay in aad isku dayi doonto in aad beddesho shaashadda adeega telefoonka gacanta ee degaankaaga. Hubaal, waad samayn kartaa taas, laakiin macsalaame Wajiga Aqoonsiga^{(Face ID)} , sababtoo ah Apple waxay isticmaashaa taxane^{(serialization)} si ay ugu dhejiso shaashadda iyo qalabka intiisa kale. Si aad ugu dhejiso shaashadda cusub ee Motherboard-ka iPhone, waxaad u baahan tahay qalab gaar ah, oo la heli karo oo keliya, waxaad qiyaastay, Bixiyeyaasha Adeegga Idman ee Apple^{(Apple Authorized Service Providers)} . Markaa waxaad xaq u leedahay * ku dhawaad ​​* inaad hagaajiso iPhone-kaaga meel kasta oo aad rabto.

Nidaamka deegaanka ee Apple

11. IPhones-ku waxay ula dhaqmaan isticmaalkooda sidii ilmo socod baradka ah

Waan helay, iPhones-yadu waxay leeyihiin AI weyn waxayna ku dadaalaan inay bixiyaan khibrad fudud, oo la habeeyey. Laakiin waxaa jira khad fiican oo u dhexeeya caawinta iyo hoos u dhigista wax kasta. Laga soo bilaabo interface-ka u eg mid ay u qaabeeyeen socod baradka ah ee socod baradka, ilaa la'aanta soo ifbaxa ee doorashada marka la barbar dhigo casriga ah Android , qayb kasta oo ka mid ah waayo-aragnimada iPhone dareensan sida in la haysto waalid aad u ilaaliya. Iyo, sida uu daaweeyahaygu caddayn karo, haysashada waalid ilaalin badan ma caafimaad qabo mustaqbalka fog, sababtoo ah waxay kaa dhigaysaa mid aad ugu tiirsan. Hmmm , ama laga yaabee taasi waa fikradda oo dhan…

12. Tufaax wax walba!

Websaydhka Apple ayaa sheegaya in " ay fududahay in loo beddelo iPhone^{(it’s easy to switch to iPhone)} ". Oo anigu ma khilaafi karo. Waxa aan suurtogal ahayn ayaa ah ka^(from) beddelashada iPhone, maadaama Apple ay isticmaasho hab kasta si ay kuugu xidho nidaamka deegaanka. Isgaadhsiin adag^(Difficult) oo iskutallaab ah iyo wareejinta faylka, astaamaha Apple -kaliya, tignoolajiyada gaarka ah iyo qalabka, wax walba waxaa loogu talagalay inay kaa tagaan xulashooyinka.

Apple waxay ku ilaalinaysaa gidaarka adoo isticmaalaya tignoolajiyadeeda gaarka ah iyo software-ka

13. Apple wuxuu dhigayaa "ovation" galay hal-abuurnimo

Apple had iyo jeer waxay ahayd mid la yaab leh suuq-geynta alaabteeda. Waa, gacmaha hoos, waxa ay ugu fiican yihiin. Laakin wax cusub? Ma ahan wax badan, ka dib xilligii Steve Jobs . In kasta oo soo-saareyaasha talefannada casriga ah ee Android ay halis galiyaan dakhligooda iyagoo soo saaraya badeecooyin qalaad oo leh astaamo cusub, Apple waxay qaadatay hab fadhiga dambe, oo ay ka soo qaadanayso tignoolajiyada hadda jirta oo ay ka heli karto faa'iidada ugu badan ka dibna ku hirgelinaysa iPhones. Tani waxay sharraxaysaa sababta astaamaha ku jiray aaladaha Android ee da'aha ay u soo bandhigeen inay yihiin "cusub" by Apple . Kaliya hal^{(Just one)} tusaale: bandhigyo cusub oo cusub Taleefannadii ugu horreeyay ee Android oo leh muuqaal 120 Hz ah ayaa soo baxay 2017, haddana Applekaliya ayaa hirgaliyay astaantan afar sano kadib, iPhone 13 Pro iyo Pro Max .

Miyaad u maleyneysaa in iPhones ay nuugaan?

In kasta oo aan wali haysto sababo badan oo aan ku tixgaliyo in iPhones aysan u weynayn sida Apple ay rabto in aan rumaysno, waa in aan qiraa in ay horumarinayaan marka la eego astaamaha iyo adeegsiga labadaba. Hadda, ka hor intaanad i calaamadin nacayb, waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaad dib u noqotid oo aad si dhab ah u xalliso doodahayga. Markaa, fadlan la wadaag ra'yigaaga ku saabsan iPhones-ka. Dhammaan ma yihiin hocus-pocus marketing mise waxaad u aragtaa inay yihiin taleefannada casriga ah ee dhabta ah? Hoos ku qor faallo oo aan ka wada hadalno.

13 reasons why the iPhone (still) sucks in 2022 -

Apple wants you to think that thе iPhone is more than a smartphone. Yoυ ѕhould see it as а status symbol, а high-tech gadget, and a fashion ѕtatement, all rolled іnto one. But honeѕtly, the iPhone is leѕs than a smartphone. If you аre planning on buying an iРhone 13 or ѕwitching over to Apple’ѕ ecosystem, read this first. Here are thirteen reasons why the iPhone actually sucks:

The operating system

If you look at the technical specs, the iPhone is not a bad device. It has the fastest chipset in the world, the cameras are pretty decent, even the battery size is okay on the new iPhone 13 series. However, iOS is what ruins the experience for me. Here’s why:

1. Customization? What customization?

Now, I’ve owned more than my fair share of both iPhones and Android smartphones, but they feel fundamentally different because of a “simple” attribute: customization. On an Android device, you can clean up the Home screen, make it minimalistic, or organize it to your heart’s desire. Many apps have their own widgets that you can resize, configure, and reposition. On iPhones, you are stuck with the same messy screens full of apps. Want to clean up your Home screen? Sure, you can, except the iPhone has no concept of empty space between icons. So if you remove an icon, the other icons located on the same screen quickly shift to take its position. Good luck separating app icons on the Home screen!

The iPhone Home screen versus the Android Home screen (Google Pixel 4a)

But wait, you might say, iPhones now have Widgets that you can place on your Home screens! Aren’t those useful? Well, yes, provided you clean up the Home screen first, which you can’t, at least not to the extent that Android smartphones allow you to.

2. The App library is awful

My girlfriend has this sadistic pleasure of installing ALL the apps on her poor old iPhone SE (2016). She literally has ten Home screens, all of them completely useless, since she uses the Search function to start apps anyway. Sure, with newer iOS versions, you can just leave your apps in the App Library, but compared to the App drawer available on Android phones, the App Library is a joke.

The iPhone App library versus the Android App drawer

It’s unintuitive, the categories can’t be renamed or rearranged, and as a new iPhone user, you need to read ten Reddit pages to learn that you can access a “pseudo-drawer,” a list of apps in alphabetical order, by swiping down from the top of the App library. Oh, and the icing on the cake: while on an Android phone, you can access the App drawer by swiping up or using the dedicated button, on iPhones you can only access the App Library by swiping to the end of your Home screens. With ten of those in my girlfriend’s iPhone, guess who won’t be using this useless feature anytime soon?

3. The ghost of the Back button

I can’t for the life of me understand why Apple hasn’t sorted the issue with the Back button yet. Depending on the app you’re using, going back or exiting the current menu is done in one of the following ways:

• Tapping on the Back button in the upper-left corner of the screen (usually, a very small button or arrow placed in a location impossible to access if you’re holding your phone in the right hand and can’t use both hands)
• Tapping the Back button on the lower-left corner of the screen (Safari, Chrome)
• Swiping right from the edge of the screen (a feature undoubtedly “inspired” by the similar gesture present on Android smartphones)
• Swiping right from the lower part of the screen (on Safari, Chrome)
• Swiping down - because why not? (in Photos)

What’s worse is that the same gestures can do different things, depending on the app you’re using. For example, in the Instagram app, swiping right repeatedly opens the camera. If you are coming from an Android phone, where pressing Back in the Instagram app takes you to the top of your feed and refreshes the content, you’ll get annoyed pretty quickly. There are many other examples of inconsistencies, but the ghost of the Back button has been haunting Apple devices for quite a while now.

4. Apple hates the battery percentage indicator

The new, improved iOS 15 brings a new and improved way of displaying battery percentage on the status bar, next to the battery icon. Wait, did I say brings? No, sorry, I meant removes. There is no setting that allows the battery percentage to be displayed next to the battery icon anymore. To display the battery percentage, you need to either use a Battery widget, or you can swipe down from the upper right corner of the screen, but that only solves part of the problem. Way to go!

You can see the battery percentage by adding a widget or by swiping down from the top-right corner of the screen

TIP: For more on this subject, read: How to show the battery percentage on an iPhone or iPad.

5. The keyboard is dumb

I admit this one is kind of a niche reason, and only applicable in certain regions. If you need (or want) to write in two languages in the same sentence (or you sometimes resort to using English terms when typing in your native language), you need to switch the keyboard from one language to the other, or else autocorrect will make a mess of your text.

Changing keyboards back and forth is annoying

There is a way to write in two languages without getting autocorrected to death, but that is only true if the other language is one that Apple deems important enough to make a dictionary for. Since there is no way to add or import dictionaries into an iPhone, for other use cases (like us poor Eastern Europeans, who are frequently mixing English terms with our native tongue), the only solution is to install a third-party keyboard, like the amazing SwiftKey. Speaking of preinstalled versus third-party…

6. The bundled apps are mediocre

While the forty or so apps bundled with iPhones (yes, that many) are not outright bad, they are not among the best, either. Apple Maps is overshadowed by its Google counterpart, the Mail app is just sufficient, and for most of the other pre-installed apps, there are better alternatives available.

Apple Maps might look better, but it's less useful than Google Maps

Hardware

As I mentioned before, I think the hardware on the new iPhones is super solid. It’s way better than the software it’s running, but this doesn’t mean there aren’t any issues with the iPhone design or hardware. I’ll begin by saying that…

7. Apple hates connection ports

If there would be a prize for removing features, iPhones would take it every year. I’ll never forgive Apple for removing the headphone jack. This, in my opinion, is a crime against the environment, as it forces the user to buy wireless headphones - and most of them become e-waste after their batteries wear out (two years or so). In contrast, wired headphones can easily last five years.

Starting with the iPhone 7, you can only use Apple smartphones with wireless headphones

And if you hold on to hope by pointing out that Apple sells several Lightning-to-headphone jack adapters, I will be the one to shatter your hopes: there are rumors that Apple will remove the charging port next, making the iPhone a completely wireless device.

8. Expandable storage is for losers

Apple probably considers that you should be punished for buying an iPhone without carefully considering storage space usage. That could be one of the reasons iPhones still don’t support storage expansion in the age of reusable booster rockets and quantum computing. Meanwhile, in 2021, over 350 Android smartphones with expandable storage were launched.

The storage space on an iPhone 12 versus a Samsung A51

And this wouldn’t even be such a big deal if you could easily transfer media files to a computer. But no, why would you be able to just drag & drop the pictures on a connected iPhone to a local hard drive? It would be too easy!

9. Apple devices and accessories cost an arm and a leg

An excellent teardown of the iPhone 13 Pro authored by Techinsights estimates its build costs at 570 USD, compared with its 999 USD price tag. But the real cash grab happens with the accessories: production costs for the AirPods are estimated at 50-70 USD, compared to a retail price of 179 USD. A charging cable costs 19 USD, a simple Lightning to headphone jack adapter costs 9 USD and the list goes on. But there is still hope.

Original Apple cables cost a fortune

10. Repairing an iPhone costs the other arm and leg… or a feature

When you drop your brand new iPhone 13, the cracking sound you hear is not the screen, it’s your bank account. On an 800 USD device, replacing the screen at an Apple Authorized Service Provider costs 280 USD.

Some tools are only available at Apple Authorized Service Providers

But what if the nearest authorized service is 2-300 miles away? Or if, by any stretch of imagination, you can’t afford it? Then you’ll probably try to replace the screen at your local mobile phone service. Sure, you can do that, but say goodbye to Face ID, because Apple uses serialization to pair the screen with the rest of the device. In order to pair the new display to the iPhone motherboard, you need specialized equipment, available only at, you guessed it, Apple Authorized Service Providers. So you have the right to *almost* repair your iPhone wherever you want.

The Apple ecosystem

11. iPhones treat their users like they’re toddlers

I get it, the iPhones have great AI and strive to deliver a simpler, more streamlined experience. But there’s a fine line between helping and dumbing down everything. From the interface which looks like it was designed by toddlers for toddlers, to the glaring lack of choice compared to Android smartphones, every part of the iPhone experience feels like having an overprotective parent. And, as my therapist can certify, having an overprotective parent is not healthy in the long term, because it makes you more dependent. Hmmm, or maybe that’s the whole idea…

12. Apple everything!

The Apple website states that “it’s easy to switch to iPhone”. And I can’t disagree. What’s almost impossible is switching from an iPhone, as Apple uses every method to keep you locked down in its ecosystem. Difficult cross-platform communication and file transfer, Apple-only features, proprietary tech and hardware, everything is designed to leave you out of options.

Apple keeps you walled-in by using its proprietary tech and software

13. Apple puts the “ovation” into innovation

Apple has always been amazing at marketing its products. It’s, hands down, the thing they’re best at. But innovating? Not so much, after the Steve Jobs era. While Android smartphone manufacturers risk their revenues by launching bold, exotic products with new features, Apple has taken a backseat approach, picking out existing tech that it can get the most ovations for and then implementing it on iPhones. This explains why features that have been present on Android devices for ages are introduced as “new” by Apple. Just one example: high refresh displays. The first Android smartphones with 120 Hz displays came out in 2017, yet Apple only implemented this feature four years later, on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.

Do you think iPhones suck?

Even though I still have lots of reasons to consider that iPhones are not as great as Apple wants us to believe, I must admit that they are improving both in terms of features and usability. Now, before you label me a hater, I would like you to take a step back and truly process my arguments. Then, please share your opinion on the iPhones. Is it all marketing hocus-pocus or do you consider them as being genuinely good smartphones? Write a comment below and let’s discuss.
