Yeah I moved to Apple last year.

The garden walls may be higher but at least I don’t have to worry about the plants being chopped down.

Also I’m excited because there might actually be some resale value for my devices for once in my life.

Yep. I switched too. It’s nice to have resale value and a decent camera. I feel like every android phone I had has a major decline in camera quality over time. I haven’t experienced that with my iPhone. I also like how easy it is to add new devices to the eco system. I used to be an apple hater but no longer. I just need shit that works, I don’t give a flying fuck about “oPeN dEvElOpMeNt.” I text, browse, take pics and listen to music on my phone. That’s it. I don’t need to ability to hack the pentagon with my fucking phone.

I think the pixel 7 has the best camera around, that narrative changed a generation ago

[–] Mdotaut801@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That narrative still exists. Pixel 7 is one phone. The rest of them (Samsung, lg, etc) have degrading, shitty ass cameras and don’t hold much resale value.
