I actually like this, so please get it over with. Apple, don't pull a Samsung and leave customers hanging with bugs and defects for years; that's all I ask.

" iPhone 18 Pro users hit by bizarre speaker audio glitch

Another day, another iPhone 18 Pro bug. This time around, owners report cracking sound from the earpiece speaker." Hey PA those are my usual words lol. It is truly shocking to see the sheer number of bugs plaguing the new iPhone 18 Pro series. It seems like every day there is a new report of system-breaking issues. I’m curious to hear from the usual Apple fanboys, aka #ISheep, who are quick to criticize Google and Samsung for their software performance, defend Apple, and give them "passes." The excuses must be good because it is becoming harder and harder to defend them with all of the reported issues (and thank you PA for posting the evidence, the videos will NOT allow them to cover up and ignore the reported issues) My honest question is: do we still believe Apple isn't shipping half-baked software?


While I acknowledge that bugs can happen to any manufacturer, there is a clear distinction in how these issues manifest. On Android, if a post-update security requirement causes an app to stop working, it is usually an isolated app issue, not a device-wide failure. With these recent iOS issues, the entire phone becomes unresponsive or freezes completely. It’s hard to argue that iOS is more stable than Android when we are seeing these kinds of systemic glitches. Pixel fans must be having a field day with all this.

It is honestly baffling to see so many critical bugs emerging right after a flagship launch. I cannot recall another company struggling with this level of instability out of the gate; it is completely unacceptable for a premium device. The good thing is that this makes it harder and harder for the #ISheep to keep on defending Apple lol.

Comparing Apple to Samsung is hardly fair given the circumstances. Year after year, we see similar quality issues; things briefly improved after the iPhone 16 disaster (have to be honest the 17 series was a lot better), only for this new release to be plagued by bugs again. I honestly don't recall my S22U Ultra (the only Samsung device that had multiple reported bugs) having anywhere near this many documented problems at launch. It makes you wonder: what would the reaction be if this many critical failures were happening to Samsung devices instead? Go ahead, try to justify and deny all of what has been reported. I just can't wait until the Duo comes out; there will be good times ahead LOL.

Of course, you don’t recall; you hide those issues so well that I’m the one who had to point them out. In your words, there were "no defects," yet your battery was swollen, the phone overheated in your hands and you were using my Asus charger day after day at work because batter went to sh!t, and you still don't remember—typical. Why would you? It’s just like the Sony issues or the S24 Ultra Wi-Fi problems; if I were you, I wouldn't want to talk about them either. Or how about that bug across all your Samsung devices with Samsung Health about a month ago? You don't recall that either, right? Got it. At this point do you even real the fire on the note 7?

As usual, you won't provide an answer and will just run away from the truth.

You are reaching back years to make your point, which only undermines your credibility. The reality is that Apple is releasing half-baked software, and new issues are emerging daily. We aren't just talking about isolated app crashes—we are talking about the entire device failing. Go ahead and keep defending them and giving Apple a pass. I’m curious to hear how you justify this. PA this time posted videos, so there is no hiding here. I just imagine if 1/4 of these reported Apple issues happened to Samsung, what would you write up in here.... But it's Apple; you will cover it up as usual. Please do NOT dare compare Samsung to Apple today. And to be clear, bugs happen to all. I had the issue with my S Health app using more battery than usual; that went away after the One UI 9 update that matches my watch, but nothing like this.

Ohhhhhhh, so now you remember? Got it. You're not credible, so now you remember the issues, but you said a few weeks ago you never had them? This is fangirl behavior. Again, you've been dealing with defects since the S21U. You know you have; I pointed them out to you again: S21U camera issue, you had it; S22U battery and overheating, you used my ASUS charger, I was there; the S23U screen defect, I was there; S24U Wi-Fi defect in Newark, I was there; S25U screen issue, I was there also in Newark. The only one I wasn't at was the S26U... oh wait, sorry, I was there for that one also birthday party when a crazy bug made you go crazy.

The most notable instance was when your Sony device started overheating while using the camera in Union (I was there happend in my hands while you denied it for over 6 months). I was right there with you, and that was the moment you first started trying to sweep these hardware issues under the rug.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll repeat it: I’ve never had issues with swollen batteries, not even with my Note 7, which I returned simply because I had to. The only notable problem I experienced over the years was with my S22U, where the screen would get excessively bright, causing the phone to overheat and dim while draining the battery. That has been the extent of my major issues with Samsung devices. You can try as hard as you want to twist my words, but I have no problem admitting when a product has flaws, just as I did with the recent Samsung Health app using more battery than usual. I do NOT hide or give "passes" as you do.
