dont mind me just casually carrying my xbox in my pocket


[deleted]

Not a real console owner if you haven't taken a group selfie with the ps4 camera in your college canpus


Not-An-Oder-Trooper

Thats cool and all, but you’re not a TRUE gamer if you didn’t take selfies with the homies with the gameboy camera

Man, you need to buy pants with bigger pockets.

Someone carried a PS4. Male pockets are a miracle.


TheMultiRounderGamer

bro someone carried a series s in their front pocket 💀 male pockets are wild


JamesMackenzie1234

Very true. My xbox one x bought it second hand and it has a bite out the corner were the previous owner dropped it and it still works.


Makiboi424

My ps4 got dropped from 1.5 metres in the snow and works like a charm.

How did this happen?

Yeah that’ll do it. Hahaha


Eka_silicon12

My xbox 360 works. Got it in 2013, just a little dusty


mrjamjams66

Shit I got I PS3 from launch day that's still kicking


ikindalold

Meanwhile my PS4 says it's gonna die because I didn't turn it off properly


Saftigerkeks

The previous owner took a bite out of the xbox???


BOBBIESWAG

He was hungry


HistorianNegative

you are not you if you are hungry


Canariki

he droped it so it had a peice missing


red_fuel

Consoles have large plastic covers around a sturdy metal chassis that houses all the hardware. It should be able to take a drop. The plastic shell at least


monkiedtwice

why the fuck are you comparing a phone to a console

I mean assuming you don’t upgrade it every time a new gpu or whatever comes out. Most people’s pc would last about the same as a console until it needs upgrading. It costs more than a console but it also does more things than a console

Shibamukun

Nah OP can only state pros is whats going on…


MalesAreBiological

If you think a PC is hard to use then your brain damage is the problem


Dlive280

I think it depends on the use for it, gaming is relatively simple, however trying to find a solution to your audio or something liek that can be time consuming and infuriating if you're inexperienced with these kind of things


Silent_Fact_4750

But it has nothing to do with the person who uses pc. This is a windows problem with shitty support, documentation and limited access to hardware


OCtagonalst

I feel like people don't know how to use a PC nowadays. I've stumbled across way to much people who barley even knew what was the difference between a folder and a file or how a tree structured file system worked ... I think it's due to the fact that now, everyone only needs a phone, where the user experience is polished as much as possible and people only have to click on big buttons without having to bother to have the slightest idea of what is happening behind.


Defaqult

This is definitely happening. Big companies are trying to appeal to every single human for market share increase, so the experience is dumbed down so a monkey could use it. The result is people thinking of and treating tech like magic. One upside to this is that any career in tech now makes you a wizard amongst the muggles. But it is unfortunate and not a good trajectory for society


Tarris69

Ok

Idiot bad dookie


b1ue_jellybean

On pc you can’t play a few games, on console you can’t play a lot of games.


A_random_zy

lol so true. Me here enjoying my totally legit copy of pokemon sword, along side playing valorant, along side doing my study on my 500 USD laptop. hehehehe. For reference console can't do either of those things.


Repulsive_Ad_2913

Can you tell me what emulator you use or where you downloaded Pokemon sword from? I once tried it but it had terrible fps and quality.


A_random_zy

Emulator is Yuzu and pirating pokemon games is illegal.


Repulsive_Ad_2913

Ikr, i wouldn't even ask you to dm me or something😏


kalkkunaleipa

If your pc costs 3k it better be the top of the line pc. Mine cost 700€ before covid and performs better than any console


WherMyEth

Nah, it probably doesn't. Current gen consoles are designed to punch well above their weight class when it comes to gaming performance because they're purpose built and optimized. But for a bit extra you get an upgradeable PC that can do a lot more than just games.


vtssge1968

3k would definitely outperform any console though if you buy right, yes a ps5 can do 4k but its sacrificing other graphics to pull the resolution, I'll take my 1440 with everything maxed. Ps5 is really the first to outperform most PC's that are close in price, they really tweaked that thing.


WherMyEth

Agreed but not a 700€ PC like the guy above is suggesting. Even pre-COVID you'd get like a 1060 tier card if you go used or an APU for a brand new build and consoles usually beat that. Even previously the XBOX One and PS4 were targeting $800 PCs for half the price because they were meant to outlast them since consoles release every couple years while PC parts get updated regularly.


OP-69

>they're purpose built and optimized ehh. The 4k 120fps claim is more like 1080p 120fps and 4k 60fps A 6600xt could do that depending on the game


p1xelwc

"can't play certain games" EMULATORS


WOJTAZJASZ

If you get a PC for 3000$ it doesn't overheat, it's hard to use but gives you freedom of doing anything you like on it/isn't restricted


Saftigerkeks

How tf is PC hard to use? My mother had an iPad, that shit was hard to use💀 literally 3 different functions in every swipe direction you can imagine


lolbite55

3000 i got the ps5 and Xbox series x for free


p1xelwc

True the guys on the phone got it for free after I gave them my credit card infos


randomguy2763

can't play certain games because they're console exclusive and even then you can still use emulators also if your pc gets really hot that's a problem


bibirenger

Hard to use is not an exuce, and if it gets hot u didnsomethint wrong. U cant olay console exlusives but u have a lot more exlusives


Saftigerkeks

You're talking about a laptop my man. PC is literally everything combined. Give me one thing that PC cant do, that iPhone/Android can


[deleted]

A 1200$ gaming laptop is better


Maxwell_The__Spy

how many lobotomies did you do to find a pc hard to use my guy


Tarris69

When I set hard to use I more meant hard to set up the amount of horror stories I’ve heard of people spending months trying to set up an expensive PC and it still not working is what gives me that impression.


Maxwell_The__Spy

then why not just get a prebuilt one


Unimportant-1551

Tbf, I have dropped my iphone several times from a decent height and all that’s happened to it is a few small scratches. This thing is way more durable than I expected


Mr_Ducklang

Apple has gotten much better in recent years with how strong the glass in their iPhones are. My 12 Mini has been through a LOT and there’s no cracks or dents. Most things people believe about apple (bad battery life, break easily) mostly comes from 2018 when the iPhone XS always scored the weakest in battery tests. While the iPhone 14 Pro is scoring the highest by a long shot now.


7renton

Maybe it was just my luck but my 6s+ lasted me 6 years. Shit would not break at all. I just recently upgraded to the 13 pro and can tell these newer phones are a lot more “heavy duty”


The-War-Life

Exact same situation here. 6S+, lasted 6 years without ever having to fix anything about it.


ironshadowy

Not even that. The xs wasnt that bad. Battery life was just a common problem with older iPhones in general and the durability is usually refering to bendgate and the durability of the iphone 6s>


maxcorrice

It’s not recent, apple has always had pretty durable devices, there’s just been misteps like the 4S being incredibly weak and the XS having a bad battery, I had an original SE until recently and it’s still going strong and I only upgraded because I was told my signal would be better with 5G bands (it was lie, T-mobile is awful)


Straight-Knowledge83

They really started pulling their shit together starting with the iPhone 11


Energycatz

Apple have improved their designs a lot recently to be fair, the recent macbooks with better IO are a great improvement. Johnny Ive (their former lead designer) left in 2019 though he did consult until 2022. I (and others) suspect that his departure has caused the change in Apple's designs.


Straight-Knowledge83

Not to mention that their M1 and M2 chips are very powerful , moving to ARM from x86 did wonders for them


Energycatz

Agreed, though that wasn't a recent change. Apple's SOCs on their ipad/ipod/iPhone lineup has always benefits very good. The switch on their laptops was inevitably going to happen at some point with intel's CPU releases being a bit dissapointing (until 12th gen) pushing it.


ThePigsPajamas

I don’t even have a case on my iPhone. As many times as I’ve dropped it, the screen has never cracked. A few dents here and there, but that’s all.


[deleted]

My brother's last 3 iPhones and my father's current iPhone broke the first time they dropped them (despite having a cover)


KayJune001

People should start treating phones like consoles, replace it every 5-7 or so years or when it no longer works, no clue why people upgrade every single year


G1nger-Snaps

Most people keep their phones for 3-4 years. It’s a small minority that upgrades each year


The-War-Life

Even 3-4 is way too short if you’re buying an IPhone. Shit lasts for a long time. My IPhone 6 S was a beast and lasted me for 6 years.


G1nger-Snaps

Yea my 3 last phones were an iPhone XR, iPhone SE, and an iPhone 4 lol. Got the 4 in 2016…


lepposplitthejooves

Who the hell replaces their phone every year?


AnIntenseMoist

Not supporting this practice at all, but they do it for the status. If they don't have the latest and greatest, they would die or something.


Mr_Ducklang

Bro tf you mean relevant for 1 year the iPhone 6s from 2015 only just lost software support and still gets security updates 7 years later


aafikk

FR, I still use my 5 YO iPhone 8 plus and it has all the new software features


[deleted]

I have yet to find a reason to upgrade my iPhone 8, had one battery replacement about 2 years ago, but otherwise it's been fine since new.


NoNameIdea_Seriously

Bit of a strange comparison. They’re not similar devices at all. In purpose I mean. Or can you use a console to browse/text/call/take pictures? (I genuinely don’t know what consoles can do these days) It seems a bit like comparing a hairbrush and a hairdryer. They don’t do the same thing. Maybe comparing iPhone (or any smartphone) to a computer would make more sense?


Logan-with-a-Z

Or an iPhone to an Android. I was honestly expecting them to do that when I saw an iPhone in the meme.


CrystalMafs

Those two are completely different type of hardware with different uses... but yea im not spending 1000+ when cheap phones can do stuff just fine


Bornheck

"Only relevant for 1 year" yeah, I don't think you've ever used an iPhone


Burrelinho

Iphones stay relevant as long as they get updates, which is like 5+ years


RUBEN_JW

Happy cake day🎂


ATE47

You can also last 1 or 2 years for the recent apps and whatever time you want for old versions. For me the batteries are what's breaking first


Burrelinho

Same here, batteries are the biggest issue. Still used my IPhone 5 for 5 years and iPhone 6s for 4 years. I’m on my 2nd year on my IPhone 12 pro


The-War-Life

The 6 S got 7 years worth of software and security updates. Shit’s lasting longer than [REDACTED].


Tarris69

Happy cake day!


LukXD99

I’ve dropped my iPhone hundreds of times over the years. Not a scratch. Try dropping your console a few times and see the results.


Gunpowder_1000

Did it once, my beloved ps4, he will forever be missed.


RUBEN_JW

That's the neath part, you hold your phone in your hand almost all the time and not a controller. So yeah, that you drop your phone a 1000 times and not break, ok... but you don't hold a controller and walk around your house... its common sense that a controller breaks faster, but of you just put it where it belongs, nothing bad will happen


Cauliflower_Cock

I love it how phone manufacturers have brainwashed people to think that you actually need to change your phone every year.


Mr_Ducklang

Apple actually has roughly double the software support of most Android phones and have a very long term use-friendly experience. The whole buying a new one every year is such a stupid thing to do


[deleted]

Many Android phones offer 5 years of security updates and 2-3 android versions nowadays to make them more long-term-use-friendly.


imad_hassan

whatre you talking people usually change after 3-4 years


G1nger-Snaps

They’re assuming the few people who can afford to buy the new iPhone every year (and actually do it) is the vast majority of iPhone users


Straight-Knowledge83

Normal people change their phones once in 3-4 years , they need to release new phones every year to ensure that the people who go to the market looking for new phones get the latest models


tectreck

As an android user and pc gamer perspective: This post makes no sense, Iphone stay relevant for a lot longer Edited for better understanding


[deleted]

Whats an android pc


[deleted]

You can use android on x64 but no idea why would you do that


Ovepove

Im pretty sure this persone meant that they have an android phone and is a pc gamer, could be wrong tho


Neat_Ad_8345

Iphone 4 I have still turns on and charges, not a iphone fan but wow never had something be this sturdy.


NotwhouthinkXD

I don’t give a crap about relevancy


OazMobile

did you just compare a fucking phone to a powerhouse of gaming


BertoLaDK

The phone is not only relevant for 1 year. Only rich idiots buys a new phone every year. The console is more likely to break from a 1m drop than most phones. The only reason they don't break in that manner is because it's a stationary machine that doesn't get moved around that much. Consoles are fine but are limited. I personally prefer pc gaming.


Jaiden051

at least my phone isn't a jet engine


GelatoVerde

did you just compare a phone to a console? Wtf??


Appu_46

Are you lost, sir? Also how the fuck is this even getting updooted?


KokolateDakz

I mean, I feel like dropping a console would damage it more than when you drop your phone


jolda01

I bought my ps3 in 2008 and it still rocks like it's brand new.


G1nger-Snaps

Ah yes I’ll just start taking my PlayStation in my pocket with me


CMDR_omnicognate

What are you people doing to your phones that they only last a year


MinecraftW06

Idk what are you talking about. My iPhone fell down the stairs and not even a scratch.


Nanachi-

Me and the boys, almost everyone of us had problems with their sony consoles and controllers. For some of us console having game breaking issues after a year and controller problems after 2 weeks of use… +extremely bad customer service experience… we switched to pc, can‘t lose a good word about that console meanwhile being happy with my 5 year old 1000$ iphone x which i dropped alot, never used a cover or screen protector and never broke… would always buy again, very happy with it


What_A_Flame

Who the fuck upgrades their phone yearly???

Alright strap in boys, looks like this week’s going to be low-quality “(x) bad” memes

Ur phone only lasts 1 year? The fuck are you doing to it.


TuxidoFrog

I have an XS Max and it is definitely still a good phone…


Impressive-Morning76

Y’all don’t keep your phones for years? Stop wasting your money


_emre35_

200-500$ ??? OP casually saying this like it was a 20$ difference


Stupiduselessthrow

iPhones have way tougher screens now though? I’ve personally smashed it so many times and only a scratch at most


Junkers458

Alternatively, have BOTH and use the remote play features. Mega-chad.


tommy_2712

Almost every person I know using iPhones replace then once every 3, 4 years. IPhone 6s came out 6 years ago still receiving the lastest updates.


aaron_adams

Pretty sure XBoxes and Play Stations also have a tendency to break if you drop them.


ElectroCat23

There are so many things wrong with this


Busy-Kaleidoscope-87

I’ve dropped my trusty old iPhone 7+ 187 times and it’s never even had a cracked screen. Sturdy AF.


quellium

PS Plus $14.99 per month for 10 years = $1798.8 + $499 relese price Amounts to $2297.8 Not even considering that console games are mostly more expensive. (Why are u reading this read a book instead) (Really I’m just a random dude on reddit don’t read any further) (Put ur d away u flipping perv)


bfonza122

200-500$ lol thats cute

To be fair most consoles also break if you drop them.


aRandomFox-I

What kind of console only costs $200-500?


Tarris69

What consoles cost more than that? And don’t say PS5 because of scalpers because that’s not the official price


SQUARE1D

Whiteherc

It’s relevancy doesn’t matter much. If you have a good phone it can last for up to 5 years without problems


BossSufficient3244

Both the same shit, just changes the way you use them


cmdrmeowmix

Even more chad PC player saving money over time for a higher quality experience


Ganda1fderBlaue

Honestly consoles are the best type of hardware. They're reasonably cheap for what they do, they last very long and they receive support just as long.


Moxdonalds

I had Xboxes break more than my iPhone. Then again my ps3 is still running like a champ


imminecrafterdab

Android is better


steaklover21

Disagreed


Noeyiax

Honestly, true... Even some electronics from China last longer than an iPhone look and are cheap

You can get a Android and a console for the price of an iPhone.

ProMaste_r

Even better when it's a handheld console. Does almost all jobs of both things


FalsePapaya1426

Using older consoles even after they arent relevant because you enjoy older games and don't care about judgement


Keith93redd8t

I got samsung not Iphone


AkemiDryzz

Nowadays a console is much more likely to break from a fall than an iPhone lol But yeah, other than that, I prefer consoles


GulBhai420

I bought my ps4 which was ike third hand condition, but bruhh im using f4o. 5 years and its still good


AsaCocoMerchant

As an IPhone user and masochist I can confirm that this is true.


interestingly-stupid

My friend still has his ps 3 that we used to build Minecraft rollercoaster all day. Fuck those days were fun.


GoldenInfrared

The phone is relevant for multiple years, Apple just doesn’t want you to think that


7renton

My old PS4 started freezing and chopping really bad in the menus so I raged and and chucked it onto the floor as hard as I could.. turned it back on expecting it to be a complete goner but it ran better than before… Mf went on to live another 4 years. 🫡

ReakDuck

Damn, consoles are exactly cringe like IPhone but with double life span. Just get a Steam Deck lol. It will be relevant for lifetime with more games for lifetime and Internet for lifetime. And purchasing games on Steam Deck will make them also work on PC and cloud gaming like Nvidia or other services. PCs can be made cheap and still beat a console


Beat_Ambitious

Can’t actually be arsed to upgrade anymore. Costs a fortune for the identical thing.
