    Seriously, does anyone think Apple users care about unlocked bootloaders and LDAC codecs? They want whatever the new iOS features are and their AirPods to work seamlessly.

    I have an Android phone and an iPhone, and they both do pretty much the same thing. I can do some things with Android that iOS can’t, but it’s nothing an average user couldn’t do without, or even know they’re missing.

      To be fair i do care quite a bit about that. Phones just make bad computers to me. Small screen and half is used by a keyboard.

      They seem designed to frustrate me so “it just works (most times)” is the only way i can stomach owning one.

      I have a dream where apple is forced to make ios fully open source and where screen/input devices can freely stream any system/OS from a dedicated server.

      Iphones are so “cleverly” dumb it makes them usable.

        I dunno, I had iPhone in my hand for app development, and I wanted to shoot it out of the cannon into the sun.

        You have to understand the thinking process behind the UI, and it’s not ‘intuitive’ to everyone.

        And I just couldn’t use it, it drove me crazy.

          Switching OS is a pain. And when you aren’t using it as your daily driver, it just makes it worse. It took me a couple of weeks of exclusively using iOS for it to become comfortable. If I were using Android at the same time I doubt it would’ve ever stuck and I’d still be annoyed rather than quite comfortable and agile now.
