Come back to me when Apple openly let’s you sideload apps on an iPhone.
Or doesn’t lie about their own spying and data mining.
Isn’t the EU making them do that in a few years?
I really hope so.
I pay little to no attention to iOS. Wasn’t aware you still couldn’t do this. I remember a time I had to jailbreak my old iPod Touch just to get a third party browser or third party app store.
I’m genuinely curious, what can iOS do that Android can’t?

Just off the top of my head, Android allows multiple browser engines to work on it, allowing firefox to use extensions. Android can torrent, while you can’t on stock iOS without hacks. Firefox with extensions on Android is god send if you’re a power user.
For someone who claims to be a power user, it’s really showing… And don’t forget open source ecosystem is much much much bigger on Android.

Technically, no new Android phone I know of right now capable of securely unlock the phone with your face. But then all iPhone user I know prefer fingerprint to face unlock and hope Apple would implement underscreen scanner

Despite having an iPad Pro I would say my S23U is more advanced than my iPadOS. My S23U has better external monitor support for one, and file system makes it much closer to actually feeling like a computer over my tablet. Then there’s not needing to use stuff like the Alt store to side load. And apps like syncthing make iOS/iPadOS limitations so apparent with how files sync seamlessly across my Linux, Mac, Windows, and Android devices while my iPadOS is the black sheep in that department with the limited file access when trying out syncthing equivalent apps.
Apple is a very restrictive mobile that just doesn’t have great compatibility for anything that isn’t Apple. That it doesn’t let it be advanced despite the powerful chip becomes really apparent if you try to do anything more than try and use it outside Apple devices, use external monitors, or even want to split screen when it comes to iOS.
One thing it has going for it though is long term updates, but my iPad is pretty an expensive glorified comic book reader most of the time now. I found myself wishing iPadOS had the equivalent of edge panels and one hand operations+ so I could just navigate more easily without having to do full hand gestures.
As someone who’s struggled with the iOS file system and sync issue, Möbius is an iOS Syncthing client. It costs $5,but so worth it.
Still can’t auto-sync iOS images, because Apple doesn’t consider them files until you move them to a folder. Even setting up an automation on iOS can’t move them to a folder, since you have to select what to love. So stupid.
I’ll give this a look, but I worry the files I would like to sync won’t be available for some with how random the file access is from app to app.
They get wireless charging from 2015 yet?
All the hot girls I know have androids so that’s the only metric I care about

Can someone TLDR it? How do we summon the TLDR not?
Basically: American teenagers/kids think Android is backwards and uncool, even though this is false; Android historically and presently more capable than iOS etc. But big problem for Google in this market. Partly driven by fact that most popular Android phones are cheap and full of bloatware. Some optimism in the Pixel sales and Google should push their own hardware more to address the problem /end
Omg its another android apple article. Its been so many years dont know why people can’t move on. Time to discuss pinephone also Thanks for the TLDR bro.
Maybe google could make a thing where they give users an pixel for less in exchange for their old iphone (newer -> more price reduction)
With a 30 day guarantee to give the phone back (data purge and stuff only happens after) the user is not going to really risk anything
But it could be interpreted as weak, but if a bunch of users stays they can really use it as good publicity so maybe the move would not be that bad.
I am sure that google could loose a lot of money this way but they are one of the largest companies so they could afford it.
Still waiting for the article about non-apple people thinking apple people are sheep
