Hands down

[craggy zenith]

sometimes

[surreal meteor]

sure unless you don't like having your BMW in for yet another warranty repair

[cunning tulip]

What im saying is that the father company is not Australian so the subsidiary company even though founded and has its own headquarters in Australia, if it was bought by an American company it becomes American. All decisions including designs etc has to go through the General Motors board before going through. This includes new car productions, new factories, new shops etc

[slate rose]

BMW Mercedes Porsche Audi

[surreal meteor]

it's just not hands down though is it

[craggy zenith]

again by your logic, Jaguar is Indian, Volvo is Chinese, Lamborghini is German and parts of Dodge and RAM are French and Italian

[surreal meteor]

obviously German cars are good, but it's not like they're the only good option lmao

[snow swan]

im pretty sure most holden desginers were Australian

[surreal meteor]

Jaguar is Indian…

[cunning tulip]

If Holden was an independent Australian company it would be a different story

[snow swan]

Michael Simcoe being the most notable

[cunning tulip]

Yet they have to be approved by Americans

[cunning tulip]

Yes youre correct

[snow swan]

Michael Simcoe made the vt monaro concept

[craggy zenith]

so most native car companies are a pack of lies basically?

[surreal meteor]

parent company control over each of these brands varies wildly…

[snow swan]

im pretty sure michael was the head of design

[snow swan]

fair

[slate rose]

Expect for Ferrari

[snow swan]

its their money

[slate rose]

There true Italian

[cunning tulip]

If they’re bought by a father company of another nation yes. Nation of origin and official nation of business is different

[snow swan]

not all subsidiaries should always have their way

[surreal meteor]

not always though

[cunning tulip]

Most of the times

[surreal meteor]

like Rolls Royce is very much still a British led company, for example

[craggy zenith]

not really

[snow swan]

I really doubt Ocon and Gasly will want to stay at Alpine

[surreal meteor]

it uses German tech, but it's not a German company

[craggy zenith]

if you want to be pedantic, Chrysler merged with Fiat in 2014 while Fiat still had shares in Ferrari

[cunning tulip]

Yes because it is managed by a British maker

[lone knoll]

same

[craggy zenith]

so for a brief while Enzo's nightmare came true

[cyan saffron]

They don't want.

[surreal meteor]

like Holden was Australian

[craggy zenith]

according to the logic in here

[surreal meteor]

Holden made Australian market cars in Australia for Australians

[cunning tulip]

Importer and father company is very different

[slate rose]

Even though there owned by BMW

[snow swan]

end of the day Holden is Australian

they made cars in Australia

not America

[surreal meteor]

i just don't understand what the benefit of pretending like all subsidiaries are run the same is…?

[cunning tulip]

It’s owned by GM which is American. Holdens country of origin is australia but the official country of business would be USA

[surreal meteor]

was firstly

but secondly that's just as true for Rolls Royce and BMW lmao

[cunning tulip]

Origin means first mate

[slate rose]

Where the cars are designed and built should be where it’s from

[cunning tulip]

Exactly, youre getting it now

[surreal meteor]

you said "it's", i was correcting that

Holden was owned by GM

it doesn't exist anymore

[cunning tulip]

Wdym

[surreal meteor]

read the next two lines first

[cunning tulip]

Ik

Just using the example mate

[snow swan]

so the testing of the cars, feedback from the drivers and sales were done in America?

and production of the cars of course

[surreal meteor]

…no darling, i'm pretty sure this undermines your point lmao

[cunning tulip]

What you listed are very different from the decision making and management

[craggy zenith]

and of course the fact that any holden that was sold in the US had to be imported and rebadged, not made in the US

[surreal meteor]

GM literally killed Holden because their cars were too specifically Australian market

[cunning tulip]

Factory and enterprise is important but management is still key

[snow swan]

wdym management?

[cunning tulip]

Like i said before with Volvo

[cunning tulip]

Holden was managed by GM

[surreal meteor]

Holden's management was in Australia, not the States, just like Volvo's is in Sweden, not China

[cunning tulip]

Owned and managed

[cunning tulip]

Yep they’re managed by the gm branch in Australia for Holden

[surreal meteor]

*they were

[cunning tulip]

Holden isnt managed by Holden mate. Thats not how subsidiary’s and branch brands work

[surreal meteor]

no… it is actually

you're quite literally wrong about this lmao

[slim chasm]

It's not like teams are lining up wanting to get them lol

[cunning tulip]

Mate correcting my tense serves no purpose lol

[craggy zenith]

you just said the GM branch in Australia is what managed Holden

[cunning tulip]

I dont see your point?

[craggy zenith]

what you have tried to argue is where the management is based is what country it is from

[surreal meteor]

it doesn't exactly help your point that you can't even seem to remember if they still exist or not though

[snow swan]

thats their headquarters

[craggy zenith]

if the management is managing the company in Australia for a car to be produced and sold in Australia

[surreal meteor]

^ which they were

[craggy zenith]

at that point it's not really American even if the people owning said branch are American

[cunning tulip]

Exactly gm isnt Holden. It’s the father company

[surreal meteor]

that's our point

[snow swan]

they still get a cut of their earnings

[cunning tulip]

Yep,a US company manages an Australian company that manufactures Australian cars. Since the US has to much competition management is the only way for motor companies to earn extra revenue. I manage your company in return i get X percentage of youre revenue

[surreal meteor]

That is not correct

[craggy zenith]

your point is this somehow makes said product American

[cunning tulip]

Thats exactly how it works

[surreal meteor]

GM does not 'manage' Holden, they own them

[craggy zenith]

that's like me saying a Scion or Acura is japanese

[surreal meteor]

or did

[craggy zenith]

even though they weren't built in Japan, they aren't sold in Japan and aren't marketed as being from Japan

[surreal meteor]

Foreign subsidiaries almost always have a signifiant degree of control over what they do. However, that amount of control varies from company to company.

[craggy zenith]

it's just the fact that Toyota and Honda own those branches of their company to sell in a particular market

[snow swan]

holden brought back the discontinued gm engine ls9 V8 to be sold in the hsv cars

[cunning tulip]

“I manage your enterprise and supply you with funding. In return i want X amount of your yearly revenue.” Basically what im trying to say in a nutshell

[surreal meteor]

well, it's not the same at all actually…

It's more like the Toyota Trucks that are designed in the US for the US market and made in the US

[snow swan]

holden could have asked for any engine or any component from gm

[surreal meteor]

which is not how ownership works

[craggy zenith]

yes that's what GM saw in Holden

[surreal meteor]

that's called investing and is completely different lol

[craggy zenith]

a slice into the revenue of the Australian Market because Gm was failing to break into it

that does not suddenly mean holden stopped being Australian

[surreal meteor]

GM didn't take 'X' amount of their revenue, they got all of their revenue because Holden was part of GM

[craggy zenith]

because at that point if you're going to try to claim ownership of everything holden, you might as well just turn it into an actual GM brand

[surreal meteor]

which is basically what they tried to do, and then gave up and just sold other GM brands there instead

[cunning tulip]

They invest in the company. But they also keep a percentage of the company as part of the deal. Thats what the term “branch and father company” comes from. You sell parts of your company to a larger one in return for funding. Yes GM took “x” amount of revenue. They talk in percentages

[surreal meteor]

subsidiary and parent, but sure

[craggy zenith]

which still didn't work because funny enough when you kill off an Australian brand, people don't want to buy your imported replacement

[surreal meteor]

the thing is it wasn't part of the company, it was all of the company

[cunning tulip]

Same thing mate. I dont see what you gain from correcting me?

[craggy zenith]

especially for an inflated price

no one in Australia is paying over 170k for a Corvette

[cunning tulip]

Hey if apple kills Samsung and introduces and subsidiary apple brand people would still buy

[surreal meteor]

well in this case, I was hoping you'd appreciate the correction because it helped you learn the correct terms in English 😅

[craggy zenith]

people are just going to buy Porsche's and Mercs

[snow swan]

youd be surprised

[craggy zenith]

no they wouldn't

Samsung as a brand brings market value

Android is what pulls people away from Apple

[cunning tulip]

Father company is the same as parent company. Difference comes down to how you’re taught

[jade mural]

Congrats @cunning tulip, you're now on lap 5

[craggy zenith]

if Apple killed off Samsung and replaced it with their own version, people would just flock to Google or any other company willing to take it's place

[craggy zenith]

because it being a samsung isn't what made Samsung stand out from Apple

it was Android and everything it did differently

[surreal meteor]

yeah, for example if you were taught in English, it's 'parent company'

[cunning tulip]

Cheaper apple lmao. I dont get why people buy Samsung and flex their s24 ultras. It’s so much more expensive compared to the iPhone 15 pro max. You’re telling me you really need a 100 times zoom on your phone? No thanks lol

[craggy zenith]

hence why no one really buys Camaros and Corvettes in Australia

[surreal meteor]

they really should've sold Holden with Vauxhall and Opel

[craggy zenith]

but everyone bought a Commodore with a Corvette V8 engine in it

[cunning tulip]

Sorry mate wasn’t taught in an English speaking country

[surreal meteor]

I know, that's why I was politely informing you

[craggy zenith]

again Samsung isn't what attracts most people or the price

[surreal meteor]

I thought you were direct translating so I let you know the correct terms 😅

[craggy zenith]

it's because the Android system does a lot of things better than IOS does

[snow swan]

we had our own camaro for a while

[craggy zenith]

without scalping you with a designer phone

[cunning tulip]

Oh here’s another thing. Apple resell values are much higher compared to Samsung or any other phone brand

[craggy zenith]

because it's a designer piece

it's like if i sold a pair of Ray Bans compared to a $20 pair of aviators

[surreal meteor]

^

[craggy zenith]

they do the same thing

one thing happens to have a big societal price tag on it

[surreal meteor]

well… not entirely

[craggy zenith]

because we see having an apple product as a status symbol, because having an Android must mean you can't afford one or you prefer an inferior system

[surreal meteor]

Apple's used prices don't just stay high because of fashion, because the difference between them and the competition also is also in function

[craggy zenith]

when it's been proven multiple times apple prefers their profit margins over innovation and change

[surreal meteor]

like any company

you think Samsung and Google and OnePlus and whoever else don't do the exact same thing?

[craggy zenith]

Given than it took European law changes to force Apple to adopt a uniform system that was superior to their own than Android devices had been using for years?

[surreal meteor]

what happened to all of the 'flagship killer' brands that now sell phones that cost well over a grand? lmao

[cunning tulip]

Still im not buying an android that costs 1800aud compared to apples 1100 aud. I’m not paying an extra 700 bucks for useless upgraded features im never going to use. Seems cool on the ads and seems cool for the producer. But as a consumer, think to yourself, are you really going to use those features and opt to spend an extra 700 dollars? Also in MY OPINION i think apple is easier to use

[craggy zenith]

anyone who pays over a grand for a phone is stupid

doesn't matter if it's Apple or Samsung

these appeal to the same people who replace their phone every year when a new model comes out

[cunning tulip]

Too bad most android and apple phones are over 1k now

[craggy zenith]

because these people keep coming back for more

[surreal meteor]

well, it's less stupid if it's Apple because when you sell the iPhone in two years you'll get far more back

[craggy zenith]

yes because it's an Apple product

[surreal meteor]

if you wanna say it's still stupid, fine, but that is a real difference

[craggy zenith]

if i sold a Macbook versus a regular windows laptop

i'm going to get more money for the Macbook

[surreal meteor]

yes, it's a positive of buying their phone instead of someone else's lmao, it's a selling point

[cunning tulip]

I can trade my iPhone 13 Pro Max in for a new 15 pro max right now. (Since its in perfect condition i can get up to a 700 dollar discount)

[surreal meteor]

people often factor in 'how much this brand depreciates' when buying like a car

why would it be different when you're buying a phone?

[craggy zenith]

yes, the brand

if anything it's exactly like buying a used car

a particular brand will sell more regardless of it's condition

[surreal meteor]

yes, which makes that a selling point of buying it in the first place…

because you'll lose less money on it

[craggy zenith]

that was my entire point

[cunning tulip]

Trade in values and resell values of iPhones are just so much more high compared to androids. Every time i switch a new phone, i can save so much money. No matter how much you hate apple, you have to admit getting a brand new apple iPhone for 400 bucks is a sweet deal

[craggy zenith]

it's not the fuctionality that appeals to people with Apple

it's the brand

[surreal meteor]

but that isn't true

or at least isn't entirely true

it's part of the appeal but it's not the only appeal by any stretch of the imagination lmao

it's certainly not the most important one

[cunning tulip]

I buy apple because i find it easier to use lol. If Samsung can design a subjectively better system than IOS then ill consider buying it

[craggy zenith]

well the fact Apple has had to run with it's tail between its legs and slowly change things to have the exact same things as Android devices have, and every single legal issue they've come across whether that be locking out older phones from new IOS updates, or enforcing proprietary equipment that is incompatible with other systems, or even the petty act of changing the text colour on your phone to show if someone is using an Iphone or Android

[craggy zenith]

Samsung is one of the android systems

it just happens to have the appeal of not being apple

[cunning tulip]

No not really, you think apple would’ve changed their charging port if not for the EU regulation

[surreal meteor]

plus the software updates, the customer support, the better designed and optimised apps, the cameras, iMessage, AirDrop, the fact it's way easier to find a nice case, the fact you can get the screen replaced either by Apple, or by any third party store because it's more popular, the fact it holds its value, etc etc

it's not just the brand, or should i say, the brand is appealing because of all of the other things…

[surreal meteor]

yeah i do actually, eventually

i think that tide was turning internally from what i've heard come out over the years

would've been a couple more years, but it would've happened for sure

[craggy zenith]

yes eventually when they were forced to

they were forced to regardless because of the new laws

[surreal meteor]

it was an 'e-waste' argument internally

[craggy zenith]

they just had to do it earlier than they liked

[surreal meteor]

they didn't want to turn all of the cables into e-waste

[cunning tulip]

Ik Samsung is android. I find it harder to use android all together. It’s not the appeal that i use apple. It is just objectively better in terms of money saving

[craggy zenith]

i don't plan on using my phone as a money saving tool

[cunning tulip]

They wouldn’t have changed it because “they want to copy android”. They would’ve done it to please the public

[craggy zenith]

i use it until it physically cannot run anymore and would be more expensive to repair over replacing

because the idea of swapping systems so you can just upgrade to a new model and save money is ridiculous

[surreal meteor]

i don't think they care about the public, i think the people inside apple think usb-c is better and it would've won out because of that eventually

it was just a functionality improvement vs impact on environment calculation and they didn't factor in… regulatory compliance which bit them

[craggy zenith]

yes because that's why they do smart things like locking out older phones from updates and changing small things like the charging port or the headphone jack on newer phones

to please the public

[surreal meteor]

…??

[cunning tulip]

Really? Didnt you say anyone who spends 1k or above on phones are stupid? With trade in and refurbish options given to you by apple, you can get a brand new phone for less than 700 dollars. (Much better in price compared to any high end android that doesn’t run like shit)

[craggy zenith]

and why would i want to trade it in in the first place

why so i can have a newer camera?

[surreal meteor]

firstly, most android phones barely get one major update, no one in the Industry is even in Apple's fucking ballpark when it comes to updates

secondly, every android manu ditched the headphone jack within 3 years of Apple too

so what kind of argument is that lmao

[cunning tulip]

Youre changing phones maybe because the old one is running slow? Thats a problem for all phones mate

[craggy zenith]

did i not just say i would replace it when it becomes too expensive to run anymore?

i'm not going to just replace my devices because i don't like it anymore and it runs a bit slow

[surreal meteor]

People only care about iPhones 'being locked out of software updates' or their 'batteries dying all the time' because iPhones are naturally in use much longer than Android phones…

[craggy zenith]

i replace it when there is no physical way i can use the phone as a phone

[cunning tulip]

Exactly. To replace youre old one youre gonna need to buy a new one correct? So you can give your new one to apple so your new one gets heavily discounted!

[cunning tulip]

Oh

Goddamn

[craggy zenith]

and i'm still going to pay what 700-800 for a new phone?

[cunning tulip]

You’re losing money by that point

[craggy zenith]

so i can get what exactly?

[cunning tulip]

Nah trade in every 4 years guarantees atleast 500 bucks

[craggy zenith]

if i want a good camera i would invest in a DSLR

i have a computer if i wanted a stupid amount of storage

i do not need a supercomputer in my pocket everywhere flooding me with information every 10 seconds

because then all i would become is a slave staring at a phone all day

[cunning tulip]

No? Your phone would break by the 6 year mark. Would you rather spend 600 bucks every 4 years or 1000 bucks every 6 years

[craggy zenith]

why so i can save a bit of money replacing something i don't need to replace

[cunning tulip]

Yep

You’re saving money

Keyword saving

Who cares if you could still use it for 2 years

If you can save money

Save

[craggy zenith]

i have enough money as it is

[cunning tulip]

Thats not a good mindset mate

[craggy zenith]

i don't need to be worrying even more about how i could keep saving by replacing everything ever

[cunning tulip]

“I have enough money so i dont need to save”

Money is money

[craggy zenith]

$400 over the span of 2 years

[cunning tulip]

Yep

800 bucks in 4 years

[craggy zenith]

you want to put that in the grand scheme of cars and housing and general living

where things are in the hundreds of thousands

[craggy zenith]

that is not even remotely the point

i do not need to be worrying about something so trivial in 6 years times

[cunning tulip]

But it in your savings. Needs is another story. That money could be used in wants. Like re investing into your phone. You saved 400? Good on you next phone you buy wont be as expensive because you bought it with the money you saved

[craggy zenith]

why would i even need to buy a phone worth over a grand anyway

okay i trade my phone in, why am i buying a phone worth more than the original phone i bought?

[cunning tulip]

Are you okay? Objectively speaking the trade in and also refurbish options are so much better compared to androids

[craggy zenith]

i could save even more not buying the most expensive phone possible and trading it while still paying a lot of money

[cunning tulip]

Because you would trade in your old phone by then and receive cash back instead?

[fast fable]

Wow....

I go F1 General, there's Oscar Piastri.
I come here, I meet Oshkosh Pastry.
If I go Chill Chat, there's another variant waiting for me?

[craggy zenith]

we're everywhere today

[craggy zenith]

so why wouldn't i go for a better option instead

[fast fable]

OP81 omnipresent for the day.

[craggy zenith]

rather than aim for a phone worth over $1500 and try trading it in to lower the price

go for a phone just as good for less that gives me everything i need and i get even more back

you don't need the newest flashiest thing in the world to get by day to day

[forest dock]

Bro has no idea what he is talking about pretty much every android phones get at least 4 years of major android updated and like 6 years of security updates.

[slim chasm]

ah yes getting it back for a fraction of it

[surreal meteor]

That's either very very recently true, or isn't true at all

[craggy zenith]

it's been true for ages

[cunning tulip]

Example: you have a iPhone 12 Pro Max, you trade in for the 15 pro max. You save 600 dollars. Once the iPhone 19 comes along you trade in your 15 pro max and you save another 600 dollars. You could use that saved up 600 dollars from your old trade in and replace for a new one. Then it loops again and again

[cunning tulip]

1000 actually

[craggy zenith]

again why do i need a 15 Pro Max again?

[cunning tulip]

Just an example mate can you read?

[craggy zenith]

i made my point before

[slim chasm]

well it's recent but not that much recently

[surreal meteor]

3-4 years?

[craggy zenith]

i don't need something that advanced or expensive to get a fraction back of what i originally paid for it

[slim chasm]

give or take, aye

depends on the brand as well

[cunning tulip]

But you save more money this way. You save money and pay for it again with the money you saved. It’s a constant loop

[surreal meteor]

yeah, i'm sure the bigger the brand the more likely it is to happen

but yeah when i was buying android phones it was rare to get 2 years, and not uncommon to get 1 while iPhones got 4-5 years

that's feature, not security updates to be clear

[forest dock]

Been like that since 2020 and the you said that most android phones only get 1 major updated that was only case with some shitty chinse phones. And also the Google Pixel 8 and newer will get 7 years of major updates which in unheard off. in the phone industry.

[cunning tulip]

I dont know what Oshkosh is on about. You can trade in your phone and save money I dont know how that isnt a good deal lmao

[craggy zenith]

i save more money not going for the more expensive option

[craggy zenith]

no i get exactly what your point is

but you're not selling it very well

[cunning tulip]

It’s not though? You trade in your phone so the price of the new phone is only around 400 dollars. (Heavily discounted)

[craggy zenith]

because you're offering me something i don't need while only getting back a fraction of what i originally paid

[surreal meteor]

ah yeah i switched to iPhone in 2019 so that makes sense, mb

[cunning tulip]

You get over 50 percent what you payed for back

[slim chasm]

yeah they start to take that seriously, even the chinese brands. I saw the budget Xiaomi lineup (i.e 13T) last year got it

[craggy zenith]

and what if i don't go with the newest model and go for something cheaper

[surreal meteor]

yeah my last Android phone, the Mi Mix 2 got like two at most I think

but then again it wasn't 'technically' sold here

[cunning tulip]

Thats what im saying, that’s your subjective opinion. I’m just saying the trade in offer is just objectively better

Chat just went silent

[craggy zenith]

you aren't getting what i'm saying

[forest dock]

Sounds expensive i paid 400€ for my Pixel 7 Pro which is pretty much on pair with iPhone 14pro/15pro in most use cases and those phones where 1000€+ at that point.

[cunning tulip]

400 euros? Thats a lot. I’m speaking in AUD

[craggy zenith]

i trade it in and get money back. Rather than only get 400 back and go for the newest most advanced model, i simply replace the old phone with a newer model that is cheaper and still does everything i need

[cunning tulip]

15 pro maxs are 1100 aud here so i dont know what youre on

[craggy zenith]

therefore i'm not still having to spend as much to get back what i already paid

i'm still having to pay for what i traded in

i pay less for it, i save more

[cunning tulip]

no mate i think you misunderstood me. You trade in your old phone whilst buying a new phone. You get a heavy discount of 4-600 dollars on your new phone. It doesnt have to be the newest phone. Hence it’s objectively better because im getting that discount

[forest dock]

You are not wrong but android has become much better in recent times. Basically every since Google started to offer 4 years of major updates on their phones and i think that was back in like 2019. Which forced the other brands to do the same to be able to compete.

[craggy zenith]

if you're saying it's a flat fee that is a horrible reason to switch to apple

[surreal meteor]

yeah and to be clear… they wouldn't have done that if Apple wasn't doing it and they saw it as an important thing to compete on

[forest dock]

I said when i bought my Pixel 7 pro and that was back in November. And also the 15 Pro is 1300€ where i live.

[surreal meteor]

but Google dogfooding their own OS has been good, I'm glad they've started doing it again

the Google made phone I owned, the Moto G was great

easily the best Android phone i ever owned

[cunning tulip]

No? You have a phone. You can trade it in whilst youre buying your new phone. Basically, you buy a phone, but you give your old phone to apple. In return they will give you a 400-600 dollar discount based on the condition of your phone. You dont have to buy the newest model iPhone to get the discount it can be any phone. You also have the option to not buy anything and just trade in the phone

[cunning tulip]

Damn that’s some crazy apple prices

[surreal meteor]

my Lenovo made Moto G3 though was a piece of trash

[craggy zenith]

that was my entire point

you didn't make it clear enough though

because everyone does that

not just Apple

Google, Samsung, even the smaller companies have been doing it for years

[cunning tulip]

I’m just saying apple has a HIGHER trade in value

[cunning tulip]

Same as apple mate

[tawny mason]

Got rickrolled by this watermark in another server

[craggy zenith]

and why would it matter if i don't have a Apple phone

i would have to pay more for the apple phone to begin with

i would save money not getting an Iphone

[surreal meteor]

well only if you're buying new or top of the line

and only if you're buying outright

[cunning tulip]

I never said it mattered to you. Ive been saying the whole time it is OBJECTIVELY better. I dont think you understand what objectively means

@forest dock here’s the apple prices here

[surreal meteor]

quick q isn't this supposed to be an F1 channel?

[cunning tulip]

Much cheaper compared to where you live lol

[craggy zenith]

it's an off weekend

[forest dock]

Apple pricing is just ridiculously that's why i have bought an iPhone again since the iPhone 5 yeah they make great phones but they are not worth twice as much as Android with similar specs. And also with how good the Google Pixel series become i think i will never switch back to iphone.

[craggy zenith]

i don't enforce off topic when there's no race week or news

[surreal meteor]

okay so it's just worse ot gen? nw

[craggy zenith]

only on off weekends

[surreal meteor]

10-4

[craggy zenith]

if news comes out i try to keep things in order

Apple's trade in program only works with their products

[cunning tulip]

With the trade in offer apple is the same if not cheaper compared to the google pixel

[craggy zenith]

therefore objectivly it only works and benefits those who use apple products

[cunning tulip]

Yep, that’s why it is objectively better

[craggy zenith]

when the set price of a Iphone is already more expensive than what Google or Samsung offers

it is not better

yes i don't get as much money back buying a $800 Pixel

i'm also not getting as much money back after i've bought a $1100 Iphone

[forest dock]

1300€ for the regular 15 pro 1600€ for the Max version in Sweden 💸

[craggy zenith]

because there is already a net loss

[cunning tulip]

Thats my whole argument mate, statistically speaking it is better. I dont care if it doesnt work with other brands. You cant trade in a google pixel phone for a new Samsung phone. It just doesn’t work that way. The best you can do is trade in your phone for cash and buy a new phone with that

[craggy zenith]

Obviously you can't do that there's different brands

which was my entire point

it only works for Apple

[forest dock]

Just to make compression what does the Pixel 8 Pro cost in equal as good as the Iphone in most use cases and even takes better pictures the 15 pro max.

[craggy zenith]

the difference with Android is you have the option of brands

Apple is the only one to use IOS

[cunning tulip]

But the best trade in price for the pixel in 200 dollars. Meaning the pixel at the very most can get discounted to 600 bucks. Apple can match that with their far better trade in price

[forest dock]

? i paid 400€ for my Pixel 7 Pro without any trade in and you said that would need to pay 600€ on top of the phone you trade in how is that cheaper ?

[slim chasm]

in which you pay more for phones and everything else they sold you

[forest dock]

Yeah you are right but right now i would say Google pixel series is the best android experience you can get and they great value also.

[cunning tulip]

I can trade in my 12 pro max for a brand new 15 pro max for cheap

[cunning tulip]

I’m taking in Australian currency not euros

[cunning tulip]

Yet i only need to pay 487 euros for a new iPhone 15 pro max with trade in

[slim chasm]

isn't 12 pro max is valued like 300 bucks ish

[cunning tulip]

Yep

[forest dock]

Well yeah but with 12 pro max as trade wasen't that phone like 1000€ new ?

[cunning tulip]

1100-300=800 aud

800aud=487 euros

[cunning tulip]

Look at what i wrote

[slim chasm]

there is no world that a 15 pro max is 1100 AUD lol

[cunning tulip]

Bro on website it legit says

Check that out

[slim chasm]

that's pro isn't it

even that's not what the web says lol

[cunning tulip]

If i take a bit of a bother a trade in with apple couriers i can save 800 bucks

[slim chasm]

that's USD

[cunning tulip]

No i chose the max option. They just write it like that

[forest dock]

I don't think you get the point a i paid 400€ with no trade in you are paying 487€ with a trade in. And i sold my previous galaxy S21 for around 250€ so the upgrade for me only cost me 150€. And the S21 was originally bought for 400€

[cunning tulip]

I’m on Australian website mate

[slim chasm]

on the $ option

switch to A$

[cunning tulip]

Oh boy oh boy... where do I even begin? Max, my love, my pookie bear, my idol. From the moment I witnessed your fearless driving style, I knew you were destined for greatness. The way you fearlessly tackle every corner, pushing the limits with your aggressive yet precise maneuvers, it's nothing short of awe-inspiring. Your passion for racing is palpable, and it ignites a fire within me like no other. You've faced challenges along the way, your rough upbringing, the slow and unreliable cars, but your determination and resilience have always shone through.
Whether it's fighting for position on the track or standing up for what you believe in off it, you embody the spirit of a true champion. As I watch you carve your path to victory, my heart swells with pride. Every win, every podium, it's a testament to your skill, dedication, and unwavering spirit. And when setbacks occur, you rise stronger and more determined than ever before. I remember the joy I felt when you clinched your first Grand Prix victory at Barcelona, a joyful moment etched in my memory forever. When you defeated Lewis Hamilton at the last lap in Abu Dhabi, I cried of joy, seeing my little pookie bear becoming World Champion. The pride I feel watching you represent your team and your country on the world stage is immeasurable. But it's not just your prowess on the track that captivates me. Your humility, your kindness, your genuine love for the sport and its fans - it's what sets you apart as not just a remarkable driver, but a remarkable human being. As the years pass and you continue to write your legacy in motorsport history, know that you have a steadfast supporter in me. I'll be cheering you on every step of the way, through the highs and the lows, because your journey is one that inspires and uplifts me in ways I can't fully express.
Max Verstappen, my love, you are more than just a racing driver - you are a symbol of passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

With the Alpine rumours going on, there is an awful stat about the organization.
If they fail to score points in China, it will be their worst start of a season since 1985.

Tolleman: 1981 - 1985
Benetton: 1986 - 2001
Renault: 2002 - 2011
Lotus: 2012 - 2015
Renault: 2016 - 2020…

Yo this might actually be alpine's/Renault's worst season ever in F1

williams absolutely fell post 2017 onwards with a non point season as well

And this is definitely one of those times.

I just think it's funny

How they were talking big not long ago, and look at them now

Dead last

[tepid leaf]

I don't know how Alpine on its own could get much worse than themselves back in 2016.

They had an excuse back in 2016 at least, one where they inherited an underfunded car development program that wasn't their own.

[cyan saffron]

self destruction

[raven mist]

Atp yeah, Alpine is destroying themselves from within

Seeing as how almost half of their staff just resigned because the car is such a tractor

[formal skiff]

the french are frenching

[zenith monolith]

alpine versus red bull is like a paraplegic vs usain bolt

[thick sentinel]

What happened to Zhou I missed it

Why'd he DNF

[cyan saffron]

gearbox issue

[wraith kiln]

when you're at the bottom, there's nowhere you can go but up

another VER-PER-SAI ?

It happened last race, and he SAI was under the podium for a good chunk of the race. Unless it's Australia (we know what happened there), he can obviously clutch up when it comes dow to the wire.

[tawdry eagle]

mclarens?

Maybe NOR in P5, since he's been behind SAI and LEC, but I don't think PIA will do any better than P6 or P7.
