Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report::undefined
Have you met a large chunk of US voters? People actively vote against their interests because they don’t want “them” getting the same benefits.
This is a patently absurd comparision
I don’t even like Apple, but when you talk about their mobile ecosystem (mainly looking at phones/watches) here, Android is laughably behind at this point.
- Apple devices last stupid long.
- First one here counts for both batteries and vendor support. This is for the worst reason, the walled garden, but it works. There have been a few times I realized my magsafe charger was unplugged… for three days in a row. But my battery was rolled into about 5% at the end of the third day and dozens of hours of SoT.
- The 2021 OS release supported 2015 phones. Current OS is to 2017 phones. Point out any major Android vendor still supporting their 2017 phones until at least mid 2024.
- I was a devout Android worshipper. I twrp’d, greenified, rooted, removed any social media apps, etc and everything else. And then I realized I hated having to do that to make it with a device that would have over 50% battery by lunch.
- I grew up. I went from loving to tweak with my phone all the time, to just wanting it to reliably work.
- One of my most important pieces of tech is my watch. I use it for payments, travel, access, and everything else. And the Apple watch versus ANY OTHER ANDROID offering is the reason I will never use Android again. Shit just works. Mindlessly. And never has downtime.
I use linux on my desktop and laptop, but iPhone is the only phone that matters.
I use an iPhone, I was just making a point.
Though I will point out, Apple is good at supporting their devices… for the warranty period. After which their solution is usually “pay so much to repair this device you may as well be buying the newest version.” For most purchases, this is 1 year unless required by law.
The walled garden for apps is extremely restrictive and honestly bull. Want examples? Install a porn app, or a network scanner app, or one of the many categories they deem “saturated.” Their walls don’t even stop scams or malware, both of which have made it into the store in the past, the latter of which can still easily be found.
The majority of the rest I agree with though.
