(No, just keep on. These kinds of regulations were long overdue)

    Those who are still on the ‘apple bad’ train like to forget they are running an OS built by an ads company.

    Every phone manufacturer has some bad shit, I choose to stick with apple cuz I already have a big library of paid stuff.

      Firstly running Android != running Google on it.

      Secondly you prove exactly the point. They try to make you dependent on their proprietary technology, forcing you to use their app store, apps, chargers, repair shops, desktop OS, TVs etc. (you can circumvent each of these point, but it requires always some amount of technical time investment).

      Excuse you, I use CalyxOS on my phone. I also use Linux on my PC. Am I allowed back on the “apple bad” train? Tbh, I don’t think Apple products are bad. I just hate the company, just like many MANY others.

        Apple products are fine, generally well built and easy to use, especially if you value multiple interconnected devices.

        The major con is all the horrible tactics Apple uses to protect it’s walled garden. Without that, they can’t extort users into staying because we know their devices and price are not the reason.

      At least they with android can change and look at everything since its open source. Root and toot. Ios will fall due to its lock ins just like Microsoft once did. Same same but different.
