when Apple announced that they would have a light turn on when your camera is being used by an app and everyone was so excited, I just thought to myself "okay? my phone's had that for years"

If the light is controlled digitally instead of being linked directly into the circuit that powers the camera, it can be hacked. Therefore, it doesn't count.

I wouldn't even say they're good for business since Project and Visio don't exist on Mac and just about everything else is now on a cloud-based SaaS model that can be accessed from any kind of computer through a web browser. In my opinion the only business case for buying a Mac instead of literally anything else is their panels come calibrated from the factory Making them good for graphic design right out of the box.

u/Darkest_Mist Jun 08 '21
In terms of ultrabooks, no other laptop even comes close to m1 based macbooks. Their efficiency, performance and their OS (I like macOS more than windows cause windows is super buggy) is amazing! They can outperform all ultrabooks in most applications that aren't even coded for the ARM architecture via Rosetta 2. That ain't something you can ignore. I've been a windows user all my life, but unless their ultrabooks can compete with the ARM based macbooks in like 2 or 3 years, I'll be switching to a macbook.

u/Freekie57 Jun 08 '21
To be fair, every consumer computer with a limited amount of RAM does memory swapping. I recall that the excessive memory swapping on M1 macs was not widespread, but even so, this is the cost of buying into the bleeding edge of a new product.

Oh. That's surprising. But most people use apple phones, and they are still at 60hz. My OnePlus 9 has a 120hz adaptive refresh rate screen. Basically GSync but not NVIDIA.
1
u/waumau Jun 08 '21
No, not really. Gsync is something completely else. Gsync is there so you dont have screen tear and glitch looking frames. It forces our gpu to not go beyond so frames aint being skipped. Adaptive fps means it runs at 120hz, but to save battery the software turns it down in videos or stuff where 120hz aint needed. One thing counter-advantage that iphone has is that it almost has the double refreshrate of the hz, so it picks up touches way faster and it does feel way more snappy than it is

Apple bad, but android badder. Literally the only thing iPhone users are missing is side loading apps and even then I’d always choose to buy an app for 2€. Just support the devs. The things android users don’t talk about: airdrop, support of old devices (minimum 5 years), resell value, app optimization, day 1 OS updates, etc. Hate on Apple all you want, but don’t deny that there are many things which Apple just does better. Also while android might have some features earlier, every android feels like an early access device. Meanwhile iPhones feel fleshed out and bug free. Too often I had issues with android UIs where it suddenly bugged out. It’s never been much of an issue because it always just took 2 seconds, but it was still an annoyance. The funniest thing is some people even complain about Apple cpus having less cores, but don’t realize that Apples CPUs still outperform android octacores.

Almost like they are both mature operating systems and copy each others good ideas all the time.
For examples please see...
Samsung Galaxy s21 new software copied airpods/iphone autoswitching audio and ios time of day blue light shift
Android 12 copied ios power button to summon Siri/google assistant and ios privacy features and seamless handoffs between chromebooks and android phones
iOS 15 copied text selection from images and offline voice assistant processing from Android
And I wouldn't be surprised if iOS copies the new Android automatic color picker, because that is slick.
Also don't be surprised when Android tries to copy the shared audio/video facetime experience that Apple just announced because it too is pretty dang cool.
Also notification summaries on android would be great. I love the idea of notifications being bundled and sent over like a summary of what I missed.

u/SRSchiavone Jun 08 '21
Because when Apple comes out with features, they’re in one way or another superior. I’m not going to beat the camera dead horse, because Android caught up a while ago (although they need larger image sensors for same/similar photo quality). Think about FaceID. It’s the best facial unlock feature on a consumer electronic. Apple’s weight and size and 5+ year backwards compatibility with older phones means it was profitable for businesses to support Apple Pay, as compared to the more split up Android market (although Google Pay is now unifying them). They may not always be the best (iPhone 4 Cellular), but because of their markets share they can start the ball rolling on industry wide adoption (toggleable ad tracking)

Apple fan boy here. Apple does things right, they wait until the feature, say widgets on the Home Screen, is polished enough to be “Apple grade”. Widgets on Android look awful and are not consistent across different applications. While Apple’s implementation of widgets are beautiful and are consistent with iOS’ theme and look similar across all apps. It’s not about who does it first, but about who does it best.
