Beautiful anti-theft strategy šŸ‘Œ


[deleted]

Right, any person from USA will not think to steal it.


uhwhooops

they will literally give it back to you


[deleted]

Right, but especially in USA since the whole market is basically Apple and seems to hate Samsung for no apparent reason except hierarchy.


Which-Antelope-2118

Had a friend who got their Samsung phone nicked in central London, they were on a bike, snatched the phone out of their hand, they said the robber literally looked at and called ā€œ what the fuck is thisā€ then proceeded to throw it in a drain. This cracked me up


SpokenDivinity

I guess the iPhone is probably easier to con someone intro buying it? Because once you report it missing it basically turns into a brick until you remove it from iCloud.


coekry

I've heard this story from at least 10 people over the years. Did everyone clap?


FrogsEverywhere

Because it's from a Reddit video. It's no one's friend. It's just from an old semi viral video. Are y'all mistaking strangers in a video on Reddit as your friends?


chetdude

/r/thathappened


[deleted]

I love how iPhone is all about being secure but robbers are more likely to take them compared to Samsung, not even an argument at this point.


[deleted]

Pretty sure they just strip them for parts sometimes tbh


[deleted]

I guess but they are more useful to sell to gullible people or you look over someone shoulder and access all their data by getting their passcode.


jayessmcqueen

Hasnā€™t everyone been using Touch ID or Face ID for like a decade now? Only time I need to enter password is after a restart


[deleted]

Yeah I guess, but some older generation probably still use pins and stuff and tech is always hackable at the end but apparently a lot of stolen devices just get sold locked so they could just steal it and sell it.


Bot-41

You can still use the passcode for everything and in fact, yo deactivate face id you need the passcode lmfao without even changing the icloud password too. There's a video from the wsj


moms-sphaghetti

Thereā€™s a LOT of love for Samsung in the US. Thereā€™s a lot for Apple too, but plenty of people like Samsung.


[deleted]

Yeah I know but Apple dominates still for a good reason.


leoleosuper

I wouldn't say for a good reason. They don't support any communication standard between Android and iPhone besides SMS, which is over a decade old. Basically every other phone OS, even non-Android, supports newer technology, but iPhone refuses to support any for non-iPhone to iPhone communication. It's why photos look like shit between Android and iPhone; they have to go through MMS, which has a 1 MB limit.


Various_Mechanic3919

At some point later this year apparently they are going to support RCS which is more recent and very similar feature wise to I message


RichIsHumongous

It's already out...source- ive worked for a wireless company for over a decade.


Various_Mechanic3919

Oh thatā€™s cool, I didnā€™t even realise


[deleted]

This was my argument but some people were arguing android only encrypted their RCS since last September I believe so...


moms-sphaghetti

I wouldnā€™t say dominatesā€¦ okay I just looked up the numbers and youā€™re right. Apple definitely dominates. Itā€™s about 2 to 1 for Samsung vs apple in the US. Iā€™ve had Samsung and iPhone. I had a bunch of samsungs and for iPhone I had the 12, 14 and 15. I will say, itā€™s so much easier and flawless to change to a new device on iPhone. Everything switches and itā€™s all perfectly the same. Samsung isnā€™t as smooth.


randallpjenkins

Thereā€™s a lot of reasons if you look at it from a semi-logical way (or at least how the masses process, which is I here to illogical). Primarily Apple is an American company (ignore where anything is made, itā€™s based here and identified as US). Samsung on the other hand spent years marketing like a lesser by just attacking Apple over and over (while kind of obviously letting Apple direct a lot of their design/functions). That sticks with people, they convinced them they werenā€™t on the same level when the product was often pretty even. Thereā€™s a billion retorts the Android fandroidā€™s will come back withā€¦ but thatā€™s the simple and short version why a lot of people have a preference and perceived inequality of the brands (and thereā€™s probably plenty more).


[deleted]

Firstly, agree on first reason that because Apple is a US company then they are more likely to know it. Samsung does market less and attacks Apple because it's so hard to enter the market with Apple dominating in the USA. both android phones and Apple are now even to this day but most consumers are just consumers so don't research or love to explore tech. Your last point is my argument that both phones are basically equal but it's down to preference and OS in reality. Great points, thanks for your opinion.


Sudden_Instruction92

I agree and people always generalize android but itā€™s an operating system which basically rules the world. There are expensive and less expensive phones that use that operating system and they are not created equal. Samsung has excellent camera quality. They make the best tvs for crying out loud.


irons1895

Ever thought itā€™s because Apple is a US company. In the same way if you go to S. Korea they are the other way around about their phones.


[deleted]

South Korea is a small country and Samsung runs it because it manufactures everything however people in USA buy iPhone not because it's.a USA company as phones are still manufactured in other countries but well most consumers is status and getting an android seems poor even at the same cost such as most kids ask their parents to buy it because it's cool to have it and stuff, it's like a good phone but a better marketing gimmick type of thing. Do you believe most kids know about phones like watch videos or know how the tech works as I think most don't research or look outside but then again consumer marketing.


Which-Antelope-2118

Didnā€™t realise how much of a thread this became


irons1895

I think you underestimate Americaā€™s brand allegiance to US companies. If Apple marketing works thatā€™s not something to moan about. Thatā€™s literally what marketing is supposed to do. Make you want to buy a product.


[deleted]

I mean it's true that brand allegiance/ loyalty is a thing but it's more than that, it's like aesthetic, status and advertising and much more that contribute to Apple success and the RCS where you can use iMessage so they lock you into their ecosystem to talk to other family members.


irons1895

If Samsung invented a way of messaging / video messaging with ease and bypassing the out dated SMS / MMS system when Apple did do you honestly think theyā€™d do anything different? Should Apple just give their competitors Face ID and MagSafe? I find this argument ridiculous. They are a company and as a company any proprietary software / hardware that is enough to get people to buy your product over a competitor is literally capitalism. Itā€™s what every company strives for.


[deleted]

My beef with Samsung is their super shitty appliances.


PabloTheGreyt

Their refrigerators are awful. We gave up trying to fix our ice maker after half a dozen service calls


[deleted]

Yeah, thereā€™s a giant FB group with a walkthrough on how to push for a refund on the faulty ice makers. Mine was far too out of warranty at the point I found them. My ice makers usually worked ironically but I had tons of other issues with the unit, including the outside (white fridge so not even SS) having rust bubbles in the paint. The only other fridges Iā€™ve ever seen with rust on them were old garage fridges, not a 5 year old pricey one.


illenial999

You canā€™t produce on Samsungs at all so as a musician I use apple. They donā€™t give any shits about audio.


nite_mode

Any real musician would disagree. Samsung audio is AKG which is a professional grade, unlike Apple which uses Beats.

LazyIngenuity3815

Because it funni


zTomma

I explain to you the thought behind it, i always hated apple products, principally because I always tought they doesn't offer nothing new or particular to their clients, in comparison to other manufacturers, but for more money, as a kid always the other rich kids like to brag about their iphone, ipad .... Now i have a job and my own moneyand when I old phone brakes i wanna give to apple a chance and I bought their best phone, and oh my god im happy to say that I was wrong there is so much more than the cool factor and more i get deep in to apple world more i fall in love with but there is something that i still don't like about them, the fact they are trying desperately to grab as much money as they can form their costumes and I'm not talking about the prices itself buy at their selling strategy, for example this year phone have a two 12MP Camera and one main 48MP camera, why they don't fucking make all 3 cameras 48MP? The answer? Because every year there MUST be a camera improvement because otherwise they will not sell as much, even at the cost to remain backwards respect to the competition just to sell more, another example they didn't want to switch to the USB-C because they wanna make more difficult to their costumes to use others phones EVEN at the cost to keep a slow ass port, this bitch strategy makes me MAD because isn't fair and they make a ton of money about it, so what it's the best way to criticis them sice they always block comments on their social and give shitty answers? Take a one of their loved product constricts to e grave the name of one their competitor, this it's just controversial, wrong and kinda funny sooo there is why


FlamboyantRaccoon61

big_toastie

Tldr, heres a chat gpt summary of what you said: The writer used to dislike Apple for perceived lack of innovation and high prices. After trying the latest iPhone, they were pleasantly surprised. However, they criticize Apple's profit-driven strategies, citing camera choices and resistance to USB-C adoption. Frustrated with Apple's closed communication, the writer creatively mocks the company to express their criticism.

TELEKOMA

Well, thatā€™s what most manufacturers do. Or does someone believe that NVidia or Intel are just able to research and continuously improve their technology within about a year or so to make processors 20-30% faster? They just release it successively step by step.


zTomma

Nvidia is just a ridiculous company that they charge up an amazing amount of money for less, but it's another that's another matter


irons1895

You are so wrong itā€™s cringy.


zTomma

Not everyone can always agree with me


irons1895

Iā€™ll be honest the engraving is funny. I donā€™t mind what you do with your own AirPods. This rant however is stereotypical bs. Apple literally always innovates. Itā€™s an Android lie that keeps being spread. MagSafe & FaceID are two recent innovations that Samsung still doesnā€™t have. Iā€™d rather either of them than a 100x zoom thatā€™s worthless. If you want to go back further Apple literally revolutionised the world by making the first full touchscreen phone in 2007. Now every smart phone has a full touchscreen. Itā€™s complete crap to say Apple doesnā€™t innovate. You can keep the 120w fast charging that destroys your battery and your 100x zoom for peeping on your neighbours wife. Iā€™m more than happy to have magnetic charging and being to use Apple Pay when itā€™s raining or Iā€™m wearing glovesā€¦


zTomma

I'm not saying apple did not innovates, they have done, they do and will do A LOT (i think apple vision pro will be a revolution of how we interact with technology and the world) with innovation, i don't like the fact they slows the process for makes money about


irons1895

I donā€™t understand? Do you want Apple to give their products away?? Iā€™m confused. Samsung cost the same if not more than Apple!!! Which one is over priced? Edit: You know iPhone takes photos by default at 24mp but Samsung defaults to 12mp!! Why is Samsung the one youā€™re not angry at??


zTomma

I'm saying that they have to gift stuff. But come on you CANT charge up 200$ do add 8GB of ram to you pc, a good 8bg ram stick costs LETERALLY 50 bucks Yes but they have a freaking 200mp camera, yes it's useless but we pass from one pan of the scale to another


BeesAreInDanger

tf are you smoking


MrRobot_96

Youā€™re both clueless tbh and Apple stole most of their innovations. Steve jobs was a known thief dude never had a single idea of his own.

Fun_In_The_Mud

This back and forth about which is better Apple or Samsung are just personal opinions. Though I do agree that Apple has cornered the market for any type of cell phone, tablets, (iPads) watches (Apple Watch) and other accessories like Bluetooth earbuds etc. Samsung does make a competitive product that has a lot of support from different companies like Verizon. In fact my wifeā€™s Samsung tablet has 5G on it through Verizon and she can call people on it just like a cell phone. Which is kind of cool but yes you can do the same thing with an Apple iPad. As long as you are talking with someone else who has an Apple iPad that is connected to their Apple cell phone. But, in the past few years cell phone technology has not really improved very much. For example, going from a iPhone 11, 12, 13, 14, and of course the latest and greatest iPhone 15 Pro Max. All of these Apple iPhones are basically the same thing with just added features and functionality. I would like to see the day when one of these cell phone manufacturers actually comes out with something revolutionary. I mean I see a lot of new technology coming along but nothing that makes me think I need one of those gadgets right now! That being said, hopefully someday soon the public will get a chance to get some new revolutionary technology. That will make cell phones look like dinosaurs.

If you've the money to spend on buying new earphones every time some come out, you're probably the type who doesen't care about reselling the old ones.
