About to break a long standing vow ....

Lol. I knew this was going to be the typical “ford vs chevy” “Apple vs pc” type of discussion. Which is why i asked about apple specifically. I have android, I like them and if I could get one that would stream to my hearing aids I would not consider swapping out my android.

I hated the fact that Apple took the headphone jack out and came up with those ridiculous ear buds neither of which is hearing aid friendly. Had I not lost one of my hearing aids (which didn’t stream) and upgraded to a set that I could stream to I would be keeping my android

Just for future reference if you ever have issues connecting via Bluetooth or want to talk easier on the phone, they make neckloops that you can plug into your phone like a normal headset, but it goes around your neck like a necklace. You just switch to your telecoil mode and bam, awesomeness. I've been using that the last 15 or so years and it's fantastic.

Side note, if your hearing ever gets bad enough a cochlear implant becomes an option, do it! I've had HA's since I was 4yo and got my first Cochlear 5 years ago (32 yo). I went from 32% speech recognition with HA's to 97% speech recognition with a cochlear and HA. If you have any questions, holler!

Google Pixel? I think most UI for Androids arent pure Android and that can lead to issues. Best Ive experienced was my older G2. Having been on Samsung for 3 phones now, I can say that it's ok, but playing with Google pixel, it's the best Android experience. Cost was why I went back to Samsung (A20). Big screen, good resolution, fast enough and multitask on calls works for me.

Owning an iPhone 12, MacBook Pro 16, and an iPad, it's convenient that they play well together.

If you have a Chase Freedom or Chase Freedom Flex, the Q4 5x bonus category is PayPal, which apple.com accepts. Could save you 5%, or more if you have one of the Chase sapphire cards.

my hearing is not near bad enough for Cochlear implants. I probably could have used aids growing up some but most of my loss came later. Right now my hearing starts at about 50db so it really isn't too bad. My brother on the other hand could probably use them but I doubt he will ever get them he does pretty well with the kind he has. he was born essentially deaf taught himself how to lip read before we even realized he had a hearing problem LOL but is able to do very well with whatever he is using.

And so is the old crusty bastard who traded down from a MC Cobra to an Escape.

Let’s see house is paid off, all three cars are paid off, almost 20k to get the house leveled will be paid in cash, and I have been employed the entirety of 2020. Your opinion of my decisions are irrelevant, immaterial and worthless so **** off

I hear you ( not really lol) on the lose of hearing .
I did not realize the degree of my hearing lose , until recently.
VA supplied some pretty decent ones , but they seem to work in the wrong range .
This mask shit , Interferes with my ability to communicate.
Good to see you are still kicking , and as salty as ever sir .

After you have had it for a month you'll wonder why you ever put up with that inferior Android nonsense. The worst phone decision I ever made was swapping my iPhone for an Android. 100% POS. I will never go back to that bug laded virus prone pile of poo again.
