I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't Android's fault for not being compatible with it.
The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.
Or tell them "Apple shouldn't restrict users like this" and suddenly "It's their platform!"
Nah dude. It's your phone. That's what the money was for.
Nu uh, iPhone is going to cure world hunger. Why do you think he's called Tim COOK?
I only ever hear Android users complaining about Apple, never the other way around
Graphene OS user here. Android sucks ass unless you get a custom rom.
Because Android doesn't intentionally fuck over Apple users nearly as hard
I used to push android over iOS until a few years ago when Google became just as bad as Apple, if not worse. I’ve been trying to steadily get rid of Google products that they’re probably just going to either stop supporting or discontinue altogether, or gradually reduce features that I use every day. I switched over to an iPhone because it offers better privacy and allows for ad blockers without having to root your phone. I don’t have any desire to go back even though I still think the android interface makes more sense for me. I also don’t care what color someone’s bubble is.
Can you elaborate on how to use AdBlock on iPhone? Everytime I try to look it up I can only find ad block for the web browser. Last time I was told that's all you can do, is this outdated?
Edit: you're not just talking about using DNS right? Since that's just the same as android.
Freedom was when Telephones were still with a cable attached to the wall, before the dependence on always being reachable with these snitches in your pocket.
My main beef with smartphones is how easy it is for OEMs to completely lock that piece of shit and make it impossible for anyone without lots of patience and a hacker mindset to get root permission to uninstall bloatware, or a custom rom. "Oh, but you can do that on phone XYZ!" - But you can't with nearly every other phone
Is it Apple-bad time again?
Oh, right, I forgot, it's ALWAYS Apple-bad time on lemmy.
Well, Samsung's are a bit more modified.
