    truly I must bow to your superior intellect. iphones have so many more features, like not being able to sideload apps, use a terminal or actual filesystem, or install browsers that aren’t reskins of safari, or use apps that would totally work on my device because Steve jobs thought they looked wrong. oh, and strawman arguments about what android was like 10 years ago.

      Oh my gosh! All of those would be super helpful if I actually cared to use them! I don’t need my phone to be a mobile computer. That’s why I have a desktop!

      I sideload apps like YouTube that has sponsor block and it also blocks ads, just so I can airplay it to my television. That’s all I need.

      Some of us just like a simple device. I don’t need the rest of that. My god dude, it was a fucking joke because androids have always had these weird ass permission requests.

      I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but I like the ecosystem. That’s all I need for my use case.

      Get a grip, and relax. Take a fucking joke. The way you’re reacting is EXACTLY why I made the god damn joke in the first place. 🤯

        I have been using android since 2013 and that was legitimately the last time I saw any such “weird permission request”

        I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but I like the ecosystem

        which is a fancy way of saying “I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but I still bought all their products”
