Yeah Android CAN run the app if you have the APK. But also the play store won’t let you if the dev hasn’t updated the app in a couple of years. Older games are especially bad.

I recently decided to jailbreak my ipod touch. The options are so fucking sketch it felt extremely gross. And thats coming from an android user. You know you are in best hands if the jailbreaking software link their mixtape.

I used an apple phone for the first time at work, they gave us apple phones.

I was blown away when I realized you can’t just dump any old file on it, because I’m used to plugging in my android phone and throwing on some files like it’s any other removable storage. Not so with apple phones, incredibly limited.

See, I used to flash firmware for copy machines from my phone. Like if I went out to a site and didn’t prepare firmware before going I could just download it on my phone and flash from that.

The apple phone couldn’t do a bunch of stuff that I always thought was standard smartphone things. Also couldn’t display cell and wifi reception in decibels, and I used to do informal site surveys with my phone. Nope, apple can’t do that either, “bars” aren’t a good metric to wrote down.

That thing was about damn useless except to be used as a phone and an mp3 player.

Just installed the original flappy bird last week on my A54 and it’s working great.

Fake News, actually. Too many times werethere apps that failed to install because they were too old, even though there were some that worked. There’s the opposite problem though, with some old phones that have old android versions, some apps are too new to install. iOS gets frequent updates so this isn’t much of an issue, except if your device is way, way too old. I’m an avid android supporter, and I’ve never had an iOS device myself cause I detest it for other reasons, but I’ve gotta say both platforms are equally problematic on this regard. iOS has no backwards compatibility, android has no forwards compatibility.
