With freedom comes comfort
lol, tell me that when you use a banking app outside the Google play services
Freedom [to install your own OS on a mobile device] for sure won’t bring me any comfort, and in fact it’s something I don’t care about.
Beside, it’s a naive take: Apple doesn’t force you to buy its phones so you can just go wherever. And I doubt most people who buy an android do so for the freedom to install their own OS
Never said you were wrong lol
If you value freedom over comfort, then obviously an iPhone doesn’t cut it
Inability to self-repair. Apple made it harder on purpose.
Can you repair android phone nowadays? Afaik, they are just as hard as apple
Clipboard and files sharing is still a joke. It works, but is uncomfortable as fuck.
Never had a problem
No easy & free way to sideload apps.
this should come before March 2024
Overpriced smartphones & gadgets.
True for the gadgets, smartphones are just in line with other android phones but at least the phone is supported for 5-6 years and it doesn’t go to shit after a few years of use
Shitty media format support.
Preach.
Buying an Apple device means I would literally support anti-consumer company with shitty behavior towards its users
Then buy no phone and remove google, etc. For a computer, buy a System76 et similia -but do not use Nvidia/AMD/intel GPU/CPU; no Samsung for SSD, no Intel network card etc.
Apple wallet does not support discount cards.
But you can?Maybe it’s new, idk
Can’t simply upload & download files from my PC (both Windows & Linux).
True. I use iCloud webApp on Linux or transfer the files on Mega
No proper files management.
It works for the most basic use cases
No ability to install 3rd party OS.
True, but on the other hand iOS is the reason you would buy an iPhone. I’m a power user on desktop but I can’t be bothered on mobile: back when I had an android, I used the stock apps too and never did anything “”“weird”“”. I’m a desktop user throughout, so if I have to do anything I will just use my PC instead of relying on my phone
– That said, if you don’t mind paying:
Same. I was tempted cause the USB-C port, but I will wait too til 16 (hoping we get the camera behind the display feature)
What’s a good mobile not overpriced phone?
I don’t think I ever heard of a case where somebody has been condemned for piracy in Italy; I also know plenty of people who torrents/stream, yet none who uses a VPN to do so.
In Germany though, afaik, they are quite insane with their anti-piracy laws.
here a list of alternatives:
Then why would you choose zig?
Try Voyager/WefWef from a browser, it improves the UX a lot
here my prediction:
Yea they are so weird and annoying
