Just another tactic to keep people in their Apple cage ☹️
ANDROID!!!
I was wondering why you were downvoted, until I saw the name of the sub.
Apple users are definitely in a cage, but apparently they won’t even acknowledge it.
I’m not saying the phones aren’t good otherwise, but using Apple is an obvious sacrifice of digital freedom.
Just stating the truth, where the truth should be heard no less. The sheeple will never fully realize they’re sheeple if nobody says anything…
You can’t argue someone out of a position they didn’t argue themselves into.
Said another way, Apple sells more smart phone hardware than any other phone manufacturer on the planet. Samsung being a strong second place at 24% of the world.
Cheap is a thing isn’t it. I hear Walmart is popular. Poor people love cheap.
Most Apple users want the “cage” for its near-mindless security and privacy. I used to troubleshoot and diagnose PCs all day. I got tired of managing my HTC Windows phone in 2008 and went to iPhone. It’s similar to running Windows Home for the smaller attack surface than Pro, or trading admin for user rights. I love not having to worry about the reliability, privacy, or security maintenance of my daily driver.
I spend all day dealing with computer issues. I never have to deal with iPhone problems. It just works.
Do you have a source on what they provide the NSA? According to their privacy policy they don’t access customer data unless they receive a warrant requesting iCloud data, and they have no access to data on the phone itself or what is transmitted.
Who said I ever signed into Google?
This phone has never been signed into any accounts on the Android OS level, I’ve never activated location services, and I don’t even have a SIM card.
I run WiFi only, with alternate app stores and the ability to transfer apps from one phone to another by copying APK installer files.
Not every Android user is totally stuck to Google.
Whats the point in having a phone if you don’t do any phone things with it?
This is generally true, but no more than what you do with an iPhone to Apple. Except with the iPhone Apple decides how much, where on Android you can prevent giving data to Google to the degree you wish.
There is no doubt Android phones have more freedom than iPhone. It’s not even reasonably debatable.
Apple and it’s policies can feck off
Then you have no business here. Begone. I’ll just block you in the meantime.
#1 reason I stick with PCs. Apple deciding that it knows best and deciding how users get to use their machines thanks to the Apple walled garden.
Windows would like to catch up, but thankfully you’re still free to completely break it if you want.
If you want the most freedom just use linux you can do anything you want at all given you know how to
I thought it was “it’s” as it’s a possessive apostrophe?
The policies are Apple’s, so it’s would be an appropriate substitution, no?
No, the possessive apostrophe doesn’t apply to possessive pronouns. Apostrophes in pronouns are for abbreviations (like “he is” becomes “he’s” and “it is” becomes “it’s”)

Ok.
@neme I like how the devs were like “eh, it’s not even that good of an app, whatever”
Yeah well because Apple doesn’t allow JIT compilation, so the performance would’ve sucked anyway.
Not really… I have tried it before on an m1 iPad. It is not usable for any windows version. XP for example takes over 15 minutes just to boot. It takes multiple seconds for clicks to register, etc.
Linux, like Debian for example, will be much more usable, but still far from anything you would call a smooth experience.
Again, not having JIT really kills the performance here.
Is it a third-party app store if Apple decides what it’s allowed to offer?
The EU will absolutely take issue with this. What they’ve done is beyond the scope of the law … again.
a piece of paper doesn’t matter if theres no enforcement.
from the law enforcement or the implementation itself.
