This US problem with iMessage always sounds so bizarre to me
This US problem with iMessage always sounds so bizarre to me
Thanks, I couldn’t even tell what the image was about math. I thought a dirty joke was hidden somewhere involving the 0. Didn’t realize it was small and floating above on the right so people would immediately realize it’s a power lol. Many people hide clever things but I always approach them in the wrong way lol.
Yeah, fuck religion
Jerboa was inspired by Boost
The first part of the joke is the type that people like me will never understand without someone explaining. I can tell it’s mitosis but I can’t tell that’s what fills the gap. It just never comes to me on my own.
Sideloading:
I’d be restricted to the apps on the app store that have to restrict themselves to the app store policies.
I wouldn’t have an alternative way to download an app if it gets banned from the app store for any reason. I remember hearing about Fortnite getting banned from both app store and play store but android users can still play it.
I couldn’t use modified apps like revanced.
I think you’d be restricted to region locks in app store which you can circumvent on play store by running a vpn, force stopping play store and then clearing data on it.
Being restricted to app store only means some extraordinary apps wouldn’t be developed like the cool apps on android that aren’t on play store.
Sometimes developers make different versions of the same apps. One is a bit restricted and is for play store. It’s restricted because it has to follow play store policies. The other version ends up having more features. I don’t see this happening on iOS. I heard about EU asking them to make a way to sideload, but I also heard that that might be restricted to EU only which means it wouldn’t pick up as much as it could.
Aesthetics:
Nothing much to say except I don’t like the iOS ui. I even fine it ugly. I much prefer the material you thing android is doing.
Lack of your own choice:
Android flagships sadly seem to follow their example soon enough
General bias:
I don’t like apple handles their things and many of their users. That affects my decision so I think I should put it here as a reason. I don’t think I have to mention what apple does but for their users, I live in Asia and a lot of people see iphones as a status thing which I find annoying. Feels like a matter of shoving cash in your face to flex. There’s also the bubble thing I hear in US which I find ridiculous.
Other points:
No back button
No revanced.
Ecosystem locked.
Only expensive phones.
But they don’t seem to be the majority or have the iMessage issue which is the main problem. I live in Asia myself and know about the status thing.
It’s US only so it doesn’t matter to the rest of the world. I don’t understand how it became like that there.
How the heck does Google lose this but apple win it? Not that funny. Weird news.
