Actually Android has too many choices and also cheap, why should people buy Pixel? Most users don’t care native android or not, so do security patches.

So it is not easy to sell pixel to end users, the demand is not there. Telcos don’t wanna risk the investment lo

I never actually accidentally turn on the lock screen torch before. I find it very useful actually. U would have to force touch it for around 1 sec to activate the torch. Do u always accidentally force touch it the same spot for 1 sec, on so many occasions?

Actually Apple Engineers do things all got logic one. Else their phone wouldn’t sell so well. Else we wouldn’t be in the same iPhone forum discussing all these.

Those fair-weather iPhone fans would have sold their iPhone and be in their respective android forum by now.

Demand and supply issue.
If u have 10 pixel 3 and 100 iPhone to sell, yet the iPhone price is more exp than then the pixel at the same plan.

iPhone is not only a fashion icon and also easy to use.
Trend now
Watch : Apple Watch
Laptop : MacBook
Tablet : iPad
Phone : iPhone (even iPhone is not selling like last time but iPhone user still a lot due to the user friendly interface and feasible feature not just some new tech gimmick)

Most probably people all more keen to get an iPhone than others, that why telco subsidise more to retain customers.

What many don't understand is how deeply the various products and software devices are integrated together. Try getting the various services to work on Windows and Android phones is a nightmare.

Hello stupidog! :o

Ya using iPhone now after a long break. Hopefully I made the correct decision since it’s more expensive :crazy:

Xr no 3D Touch so I Guess it’s easier for us for turn the torch on accidentally. I went to Google and found others having this issue as well. I don’t think the torch logic works in our country as maybe their place not enough street lamps ba.

Been some years since my previous iphone, it’s refreshing. Good and bad on both iOS and android platforms. For office work related, I think Samsung note Is a better choice due to ms office apps. But for playing games, iphone is the indisputable king!

I’m a basic user lol but love trying out different brands of phones :o

Don’t buy pixel 3 la. Went to test at telco shop and cannot even switch to front camera. It crashed the moment I turned to front selfie camera, many times, never gotten it to work. I simply cannot recommend my friends to buy that phone :s22:

Agreed!
Apple not integrate their devices , they integrate the usage into your life.
Look at how they make those so called “old tech” useful.
Coming up with a new tech is nothing if is just a feature and not part of your lifestyle.

They designed in such a way which dictate how users use their products.

The reason sell well is probably due to its cult, those who wants regular updates or high resale value.

Cult, high resale value only play a small part. What’s key is the ecosystem and the tight integration not found on any other platform. This makes them such a success.

What’s the point of new features but when it is all gimmick? People criticising about Face ID when Apple launched it but look how is it doing now and nobody has yet to master the tech.

So many facial unlock gimmick out there but Face ID is the most convenient and most secured facial unlock which explains why it is the only facial unlock tech that banks and government sectors adopt.

I’m having the same issue. My torch turns on when my pinky touches the screen accidentally. The only way to fix this is to disable touch to wake.

Actually I jumped to iphone because I appreciate fast and new os updates. High value is also another reason but iphone these days don’t hold as high value than in the past le :( the ecosystem isn’t useful to me as I don’t use macbook, so I’m very glad Apple allows me to use Google photos as backup etc

I give credits for iphone faceid, however personally will take fingerprint if given a choice between the two. Faceid failure rate is very high for me when I’m lying on bed at night or morning- maybe my phone not stretched far enough? Lazy tired to stretch out arm early morning :s22: to me, the notch is ok albeit slightly ugly but have to adopt since already gotten it lol. If there is a fingerprint at the back of the phone will be perfect as faceid can be used a secondary login or fun emotes

I’m having the same issue. My torch turns on when my pinky touches the screen accidentally. The only way to fix this is to disable touch to wake.

Ya i guess it’s quite common to accidentally turn on torch. Touch to wake v convenient hahahha, so must keep it :o looking forward to an update next time to toggle off both torchlight and camera on lockscreen!

You will like the gesture, that’s the biggest thing to like imo

Agree that the case makes the phone thicker and heavier :/ find it very uncomfortable to hold with one-handed at night when reading news or watching YouTube on bed

That’s one of the reason I change to xs after use couple of days. Feel uncomfortable hold with one-handed.
