    The one thing unique about Apple was that it was run by engineers for most of it's history. That's.... not the case anymore.

    No Steve actually had vision. The engineers made it happen. Now it's " let's release the same thing every year and watch the lemmings lap it up.". I'm not going to lie, the iPad has been a game changer for my son who has autism. My iPhone is more stable than any android garbage. But the iPhone in my head can be easily produced and is what everyone as been wanting. Just take what everyone has been stating what they want in an iPhone and that's what's in my head. I create things for a living. I know design and what is a good design. My iPhone 8 was a good design when it was the 6s. Now, 3 years on, it's being Re released as the se. Nothing exciting, nothing new.

    It's the same with the hideous notch based phones. Garbage. No vision, no creativity, just trash.

    My android "garbage" was last rebooted 97 days ago.

    My iPhone I am supplied by my employer has to be rebooted frequently or it stops working properly.

    Yeah, not buying that iPhones are more stable, at all.

    I have yet have an android phone that is as smooth or stable as my iPhone. And I'm not buying that your android is more stable when a picture will brick it.

    I do a reboot twice on my mom's iphone just before and after charging, otherwise it acts up like you said. Sometime UI doesn't respond for like 5 sec. You can say, its just like Intel-nvidia optimus switching bug that caused minor freezing issues.
    After doing it, I follow similar process for my Android phone out of habit!

    Uhh, except nothing, literally nothing, bricks it. I basically only reboot it if I forget to charge it before it reaches 0% (It gets 4-5 days of battery life usually, so I rarely let it get that low.).

    You don't read tech news. A wall paper will brick your android phone. Just by displaying. Please. Android is inherently more unstable than ios.

    Right. Reading tech news matters way more than actually using android phones daily for the past decade.

    I've had multiple iphones provided by my employer, and multiple android phones I've purchased myself. Android has consistently been far stabler.

    Well. My experience has been the exact opposite of yours. And yes, in the morning I sit with my iPad reading about all the new tech, and I still use my phone, ipad and my laptops for many hours a day.

    Here you go might want to read some tech news instead of thinking someone is just a hater for having a different opinion than yours.

    I have android devices too, for various reasons, but they are not as solid or reliable as my ios devices.

    Might want to step off the high horse using your devices from the past decade. Ha ha. My first computer was a c64.

    Is the text bug on iOS fixed on iOS 13.5.1? https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/24/21234191/apple-iphone-crash-text-bug-ios-13-problem
    For now, I've removed Indian local languages on my mom's phone. Is this fixed?

    What does your first computer being a Commodore 64 have to do with anything? Oh, right, nothing. You're the one acting like you're on a high horse and trying to talk down to me. Android phones have been around for about a decade, having used them for a decade in no way makes me "new" to technology or computers.

    I've been gaming online since the days of baud modems and BBS's.

    One weird bug found on android devices also by no means proves that they're horribly unstable. If that was the case, then all devices are horribly unstable, as is all software.

    You brought up using android devices for the last decade. I just decided to give you a little background into my computing experienced. I have owned an android device from every year since androids first version. Oooooo. Wow baud modems. I was gaming on pong.

    Nice ignore feature. Not. Ignoring a user should not show you that they have posted something. They should case to exist from your perspective.

    My Pixel 3XL needs reboots only after security and feature updates. Not a single hiccup since purchase. None of the 3 iPhones (4, 6, 6s) i owned could compete with it.

    None of the android phones I owned in the past like my note 1 and sg2s could compete with my iphone 8 either. Think about your comparisons. I would not expect those iphones to be as fast as your 3xl. However, my 8 which was released around the same time will be much faster.
