   The reason the "Android users are nerds" thing never goes away is because it's true.
   
   But what iPhone users don't want you to realize is that THEY TOO carry around a beep-boop-computer in their pocket so they can get a vibration in their private area every time their instapoop selfie gets a like, THEY ARE ALSO NERDS.

     I'll say this though: I've used half a dozen android tablets, and I'm never ever going back. The iPad is just better. I suspect the iPad will always be just better.

     I gave my iPad Pro to a family member because I realistically used it once a year for drone stuff, but I'm patiently waiting for the next iPad Mini to come out so I have something for document viewing and signing in the field.

     That's why I've started telling people "I just need more power and freedom to do things with my phone that you won't be able to do for another 2-5 years."

     Which means when they ask what things, I can list things that they already love and use instead of things they're about to love and use.

     And when they invariably ask "Right but what's the feature this time around?", I always leave them wanting more... "Guess you'll find out in 2-5 years, champ!"

     As an aside, iPhones are just flat out difficult to use if you want to do anything that's not mindless content consumption. They are toys, not tools.

     I agree iPads are so good, the pro is totally worth it

     I take back what I said actually, there are weather ones that tell you the current weather and also ones that change with the time of day. Idk it's ok but I use normal pics usually but also like mix it up. I'm not really sure I'd even want an animation what's the point?

     Yeah it's basically some effect applied to a photo you've taken. I don't think you can even use arbitrary photos because it needs the lidar data
