USB C, 3rd party app installing, free browser engine and easly removable batteries in 3 years. Iphone suddenly becomes an amazing option

*if you ignore the shitfest it is with mandating play store/play services, bricking phones, google screwing up Pixel updates, a fiasco of some sort with each Pixel iteration, Samsung literally adding shit to macro shots and calling it “AI”.

Android isn’t a silver bullet it’s made out to be.

Android is neither silver nor bullet, it’s pure gold next to the pile of poo with a chewed apple on top.

just get a pixel and put lineage on it, works perfectly and has none of these downsides

i have two ultimately minor complaints: no sd card slot and no headphone jack, the first isn’t a huge issue especially not for the average person and the latter being solved with an adapter, and also isn’t really a big issue since there’s more than enough battery that charging at the same time isn’t needed.

We slowly fix problems below and above the OS. But there is very much left to do in the OS itself, like no access to drivers or any low-level interfaces.

This is very bittersweet living in the UK. But still obligatory fuck Apple.

@dantheclamman@lemmy.world @firefox@lemmy.ml It also means more chrome based browsers. Apple was the last stand before google hegemony. That’s not a good news.
