Okay, this is not an iPhone vs Android Phone debate. I respect your right to choose whichever platform that you want.


I mean, iPhone seems so antithetical with the idea of freedom. You have to connect it to a server to even use it, all apps have to go through a centralized server, no option to install whatever apps you want, which means, you literally cannot have any third-party apps without an online account.

Most of my fellow americans seems to love the idea of freedom so much, yet just buy into a closed ecosystem with no freedom? 🤔

Like almost 60% of Americans use iPhone, kinda weird to preach freedom when you cant even have an app without a corporation’s approval. If it were any other country, I wouldn’t find it weird, but for a country that’s obsessed with the idea of freedom (so much so that they disobeyed mask mandates), it’s really weird to be using a device with zero freedom.

    Unsure why you got downvoted. Same experience here. I already script and program, sometimes I just want stuff that’s stable.

      Exactly

      I have a separate cheapo Android phone with a prepaid sim for those cases where I need to fiddle with something really specific.

      My actual phone just has to work every day. I don’t want it to stop allowing emergency calls because Teams had the ability to intercept calls at the OS level and failed 😅
