That's not my best example. It's a randomly chosen one. Why did you assume it was my best example.
Because it's the only one you gave lol
"For example"
Usually you would want to provide a good example.
I mean, because most sane people lead with their best example 🤭
Are you saying I'm insane?
After so many dislikes, any moderately smart person would start introspecting in where they went wrong.
I have been. I guess I could have worded it better? Let me re-explain:
Both operating systems are F-tier trash heaps and the only reason I'm not using GNU+Linux is because of the security that Graphene provides and the fact that applications are made for Android. And no whatever emulator you may be about to suggest is not a good option. I've tried all of them and they all suck.
Android lets you actually install apps. iOS is slightly note usable from UX/smoothness standpoint. I've talked to many people from both sides. They don't want to switch because they're "fine" on what they use and can't deal with loosing the minor advantage.
I use android but would instantly go back to iOS if I could just install whatever .IPA I wanted, and the system API wasn't arbitrarally locked down for non-apple apps. The bullshit like apps not actually being able to run in the background, terrible non-rigid permissions, bullying from Apple, etc. are all comparible to the level of bullshit from AOSP such as the random example I gave above. There's always something new that I uncover ever few weeks so I like to give that or some other random example every time I talk about it to highlight the extent of the bullshit.
