Samsung vs. Apple: Which is better?

The whole Samsung vs. Apple argument has existed for many years. Some people say Apple is better than Samsung, and others say the opposite. Regardless of those opinions, what makes a good mobile phone? A good phone has several elements: a large storage capacity, a durable exterior, security, and speed. Samsung phones are known to have better battery life and expressive, customizable qualities. However, Apple phones are known for their reliable security software and appealing design. Apple and Samsung are the two most popular mobile phone brands and have been competing with each other to be the best. I prefer Apple because of its advanced software and privacy properties. I noticed my Apple phone easily cracks, even with a protective case and screen protection. I've never had a Samsung phone myself, although my cousin has had one for over eight years, and her phone is just as good as a brand-new Samsung phone. Samsung has more opportunities for personal design due to its customizable features in the wallpaper displays and the specific apps you can download for expressive features. Yet there is a concern: Samsung doesn't restrict certain apps, which can allow viruses and scams to hack your phone easily. Apple has stricter software that prevents the download and even uploading of certain apps onto the Apple App Store due to the potential risk of viruses. Overall, it might be that the phones are equal or that one is significantly better. However, I disagree; though Samsung has some great features that Apple doesn't, Apple is way more protective of your privacy and information. I think that specific quality alone is critical to having a good phone. Apple has a fresher, minimalistic look that Samsung cannot master. Apple constantly improves its products and has frequent updates. Samsung does as well, but not at the same level and rate as Apple does. The real winner of Samsung vs. Apple is Apple. No mobile phone brand can outdo the beloved and famous Apple.

    I thought this was a very well written blog and i completely agree. The choice between Samsung and Apple comes down to personal preferences and priorities, but Apple clearly triumphs Samsung and the receipts, revenue, and income back this. I have always loved apple and the interconnectedness of their ecosystem and devices as a whole.

    As an Apple user, I don't think that there really is a set answer to which mobile phone is better. While yes Apple has an intuitive software and is more protective of your data, they don't necessarily have a better phone since it is all up to the preference of consumer. Samsung has many more updates and options when it comes to their phones. Apple only has one phone release every year while samsung has many. Apple has indeed mastered the concept of a sleek design, but can their phones fold in half. Samsung just has more options that can cater to more customers. However, apple is known to be the better phone by many, so having a samsung is seen as uncool. Plus any apple user just can't stand the green bubbles.

    I have a Samsung and I believe that is a perfectly good phone. It has a really long battery life and has never cracked. However, I do sometimes wish that it had facetime or that it could be in groupchats with other Apple phones. The security system, on the other hand, has never bothered me. I think that for the price difference between Samsung and Apple, it is best to get a Samsung since it has great qualities and all the negatives can be battled with apps such as Whatsapp or making sure that you are using safe apps.

    I am someone who has had a Samsung in the past and is now an Apple user. I would say that the Iphone is much less complicated to use, and overall makes the android I had in the past feel outdated or underdeveloped. Phone choices are up to personal preference, but I feel the user-friendly features of Apple make their phones superior.

Sarah - Week 4 - Florida whether is not a great as people say it is.

      Many people say that Florida's weather is great because it is sunny, happy, and never cold. However, in my opinion, there is such a thing as too much sun. I don't understand how anyone could enjoy the pain your eyes feel going from a neutral room to the bright outdoors. Sun also isn't necessarily good for you. Its main health benefits are that it can boost your mood and provide you with vitamin D. However, its negative health effects include damage to your skin, eyes, and immune system. Excessive skin damage from the sun can even cause skin cancer.     Another reason why I don't like Florida's weather is because it only has two seasons. It is either hurricane season, or it is extra hot. Plus, you don't get to experience the beautiful colors of the trees changing in fall or the gorgeous scenery of a white winter. A few Floridians have never even seen snow before. This is crazy to me since playing in the snow with my brothers was one of my favorite thi...

Leah Mousseri - Week 2 - A Book in a Game?!

Image
      In the 21st century, there's a game for everyone. From shooting games to simple farming simulators it's almost impossible to not find a video game that interests you. One category of video games that I think is disliked by many for the wrong reasons is visual novel games. These games largely consist of dialogue and are often slow-paced and more relaxing compared to other genres. Visual novel games focus more on the story and characters rather than things like puzzles or combat.       The most common argument that I've heard against these games is that they're the same as a regular visual novel and have little to no actual gameplay in them. From my personal experience playing games in this genre, this is true for many visual novel games. I have played games that almost entirely consist of dialogue with a few choices that determine which ending you get. In my opinion, these games aren't very entertaining unless the story is well-written and compell...

Zander 5: Why Do We Care About Remakes?

Image
  A pattern I’ve begun to notice recently is that many of the most popular video games and movies often tend to be remakes of old pieces of media. While the most obvious examples of this would be the remakes of old Disney movies that have been released over the past several years, there are many more examples of this. For example, one of the most popular games this year was the remake of Resident Evil 4, and one of the most anticipated upcoming releases is the remake of Persona 3. So why is this, and what is the interest of playing a game you’ve already played, or watching a movie you’ve already seen? Well, firstly, there’s the appeal to those who never played or watched the previous piece of media. The appeal to this group is obvious, as to them, it’s new content. Even if one already knows the plot and twists of a story, experiencing it first hand can still be entertaining. Even if  you’re already familiar with a piece of media, viewing or playing it’s remake doesn’t complete...
