It’s interesting bc if it were easy, others would’ve done it by now and as good. But OEMs focused on ‘the phone’, the actual physical thing and the software on ‘that’ device. When you look at that alone, there’re other better phones imo.

And that’s where Apple was visionary really. They locked people into the ecosystem that is ‘that good’! It just is, as much as I believe there’re better phones out there - I’ve had them before, it’s a fact that Apple’s ecosystem does things better than others, reason why Samsung ‘got that’ and is trying to do something similar, but it’s that Samsung ‘hit or miss’ thing.

I feel the same. Fluidness on Android phones is incredibly faster and more responsive than on iPhones.

I think phone for phone, the iPhone doesn’t have anything that stands out from the competition really. What makes it different is iOS and the ecosystem that locks everything together and works better than the Android/Windows counterpart.

I don’t know if the Ultra is that ‘no brainer’, quite honestly. It all comes down to what you want and how large your wrist is. I mean, I get the larger battery - that really is a deal breaker to a lot of people, but the regular series 9 looks so dope. I know it’s the same thing it’s been since the first one, but depending on the size of your wrist - and if you like that classic shape, that could be the one to go for.

Sad to see how the Apple Watch has not changed much over the years, but that, on the other hand, makes me really glad to see the posts here of most of you guys just saving up money because it’s not worth getting the ‘latest’ because it’s just not worth your hard earned cash.

I’m going for the Series 8 really. I don’t need the ‘new features’, it will also not be a life changer in my life too.
