I'm not that much of a technology freak anyway, but I think that the price-performance ratio is much better with mid-range devices.

But that doesn't apply specifically to iPhones, I wouldn't generally spend that much money on a new cell phone. Only for gaming, that makes much more sense 😄


Well, everyone as they like. Some people will probably say to you, he's crazy to hang out on gamblejoe every day. They only queued for a few hours and then had the phone and then their time and you are just "24/7" on gamblejoe. (A bit of an exaggeration but I think you know what I mean). 😁 To each his own as long as it's peaceful I think. Fortunately, people are not all the same

I'm a technology freak and I have nothing against Apple at all, I even gave Apple a chance once and used an iPhone for a few months and didn't get on with it at all.

What I don't like about Apple is their pricing policy, although I have to say that all the other manufacturers aren't really any better, whether Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, Sony, Vivo, Oppo, Oneplus, etc
BUTRRRR At the end of 2024, still installing a 60Hz display in an almost 1000€ smartphone is bordering on cheeky in my opinion and only Apple can do that 😁 Maybe these 120Hz displays are uninteresting for some people, but personally I just can't work with a 60Hz display anymore because it comes across as really lame and I'm used to 120Hz from the start and don't want to miss it anymore. ate

I don't have an iphone but a Mac Book. I used to think that Apple was no good and completely overrated. But I can assure you that you'll never switch from a Mac Book to Windows again, and for good reason. As soon as you have familiarized yourself with it, you will notice the extreme advantages. These are mainly in the operation and functionality.


Less or even hardly susceptible to viruses, no crashes and a long-lasting battery. You never actually switch off a Mac Book. It's always running and when you're not using it, you simply close it. The fact that the design is many times better than the competition is just an added bonus.

As I said, I'm not talking about the iphone. If you've never had a Mac Book before, then I can only recommend that you get one. You'll thank me for it later on. It simplifies so much and is so much better than most other laptops that run Windows.

What processor do you have? The new arm m series processors are okay for work, Apple has an advantage because they can optimize everything from hardware to software.


But the competition from Apple is catching up, they have now also released a new arm chip for Windows that is just as powerful and can emulate the x86 architecture quite well, it's basically the same for both
Windows is now the first generation of the new chips and still lacks some optimization, but it will get better

I'll see if I can get a cheap m1 Mac book, I'm also interested in what it's like.

In the days of 2009 it was all mega exciting, especially when Steve Jobs was still alive, but after his departure it got better in terms of numbers, but the visionary was dead, and the next in the chain was someone who was only interested in money, so Apple is now at this point where little innovation is coming because they don't want to do anything wrong, the Vision pro is the hardest at the price and hasn't really been thought through to the end.


Another funny thing is the airpod max 2, which now only has USB C, now that's what I call innovative 😆

What's funny is that my Quest 3 can do everything the Vision pro can do at a fraction of the price, apart from connecting to Apple services

No question, I agree with you.

That's why I didn't write that I want to knock people's new cell phones out of their hands, but that I don't want to have one myself.

I just can't understand this way of thinking, the new iPhone is coming and I have to be one of the first to have it and queue for hours to get it. But yes, to each his own 😄

I have to admit that I was in a similar situation once, when GTA V came out in 2013.

Back then, the publisher went to great lengths to ensure that the game wasn't sold or received by customers before the official release.
I then ordered it from a smaller but well-known games retailer that always shipped other games before release and then at least guaranteed delivery on the release day for GTA. It was really my nightmare I couldn't get the game on time and my buddies already... 😂

In the end, unfortunately, they left a box of mail somewhere between the store and the shipping point and my game didn't arrive on time. I was really p**sed off. 😂
And the next day I had an appointment when the game arrived and couldn't play either...
It was only eleven years ago, but I could laugh at myself for it, looking back...

And what's also important of course... I'm here because of the wonderful people, and not because of an item... 😬😂

I can't tell you exactly...Maybe that would have worked for me too😂

Maybe the hype was just so awesome that people assumed there wouldn't be any left in the store on release day... 😂

The hype will always be there. We can be glad that we have something like this otherwise we would still have to build sandcastles and other things outside in the air 😂
