I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn’t Android’s fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

It’s really weird that this is what you imagine when someone buys something from a giant corporation that isn’t your preferred giant corporation.

For like the fiftieth time, no one that matters cares what phone you bought, what OS it runs, or what color your texts are on other phones you didn’t buy. As a person that keeps buying iPhones, I don’t care what you buy. Please feel free to stop caring what I buy.

My sentiments exactly. I cannot possibly fathom wasting mental energy on such a mundane thing.

Ah yes, the classic centrist position. Why does it matter if the government performs mass surveillance if you have nothing to hide? Why does it matter if I drive a huge and inefficient car? I can make all these choices secure in the knowledge that I never do bad things so they never occur as a result of my actions.

I’m not sure you’re in the right thread here, unless ios and android are political identities now.

It’s a phone, man. Not an F-350 rolling coal with a Trump flag.

Swipe on. It’s okay if you don’t understand how this stuff works.
