I'm fascinated that at the time of this writing, this post has 17 upvotes and 41 downvotes. The article is consistent with other reporting I've seen recently on this topic and it would seem to fit the community. Why all the downvotes?

I'm gonna take a wild guess that most Lemmy people use Android, and the suggestion that someone might prefer an iPhone is triggering to someone whose sense of superiority comes from their choice of operating system for some reason.

This sounds fairly plausible. Depressing, but plausible.

Down votes don't mean what people think. Down votes mean:

  • bad source
  • incorrect content (I disagree)
  • doesn't contribute meaningfully
  • made me feel bad in some way

Downvotes mean what people use them for, not what they were intended for.
