Interesting, so windows vs mac os didn’t cause a flame war but Android vs IOS does.

Possibly because the cost for entry to macOS is higher than with iOS. Most people are able to run a Windows computer at very little cost, and will never have any interaction with a Mac. Meanwhile, iPhones and Android phones are (broadly) on a par in terms of cost.

I will say though, speaking as someone who’s used Macs since 2007, as much as I’m no fan of how Windows works, I won’t give anyone shit for doing so. But I used to get quite a bit of vitriol for my choice of computer.

It’s always interesting to see people turn something as universal as a phone into a competition.

If you’re willing to spend the money, you can make yourself look silly by spending thousands on either one.

Phones have become such a staple of modern existence, it’s about the same as wearing shoes.

Shit. I just realized they turn shoes into that, too

I was gonna comment that this exact post was made a few days ago with the only difference being Mac vs Windows instead. Seems you’re already aware, and you’re just farming. Nice.
