Actually, my favorite Apple product at present is the iPads that have cell connection so you always have internet. It's annoying Android tablets don't have that.
There are tons of Android tablets with cellular...

I also think the lack of app drawer is insane. iOS seemingly forces you to have endless left/right pages of every single app you have on the device.


iOS has an app drawer, keep swiping left and it will come up.

apple was one-trick away from irrelevance when they struck it big with the iPhone.

sure the iPod was a pretty big hit as well, but everyone forgets there were a frickton of MP3 players before the iPod. the problem was..they fricking sucked. apple just took their lock-in mentality and paid off the beatles so they could use the apple trademark in the music industry and created iTunes.

the combo was killer.

the iphone was a glorified iPod with a cellphone feature. again, the market was dominated by blackberry (the first hint people could get addicted to their phones) and shitty android and microsoft phones.

i still remember owning both an SDA and MDA and when it crashed (happened frequently), it took at least 2 minutes to reboot. imagine windows 98 on a phone.

nokia was resting on their laurels and releasing boutique phone form factors like that crazy-arse 3650 and focusing on premium ringtones and COMPLETELY MISSED THE BOAT. they served their purpose but got incredibly complacent and missed out on building a crazy/good OS with that massive capital they had to be competitive with apple.

instead they were doing this:




so if you want to worship steve jobs, worship his ability to rip off the Xerox Alto, Creative Labs MP3 players, and rough-start android and microsoft phones and making them work. he is a master at steealing someone else's idea and making it commercially viable.

Every time you turn on the news, it's another Biden giveaway. His economy is total shite, and he's desperate to troll for any votes he can by touting his "accomplishments." If you think this isn't politically motivated, I can't help you.

This is what Android/Windows users don't get. It's not just the phone, it's the laptop, the desktop, the homepods , the watch, the earbuds etc. it's all the software so tightly integrated. All work so smoothly integrated.



Guess all that "smooth integration" that you love so much by forcing people to use Apple products to get the best experience is being considered a monopoly by the federal government.

My opinion of Apple has nothing to do with the government.

The government didn't tell me about Apple's overprices RAM or SSD storage. Or their closed software/system. Or their ever changing cable connectors. Or the practically unwatchable videos my mom tries to send me from her iphone.

Users have long been frustrated by discrepancies when sending messages between Apple and non-Apple products, including lower media quality, diminished editing capabilities and even different colors for the messages themselves. Garland said those issues were examples of Apple degrading users' experience to entice them to stay in the company's ecosystem.

slowflo is an idiot if he's laughing at the comment about apple deliberately degrading photos & videos to the point they're unwatchable on android phones.

but then again he's become the laughinstock of TD

Yeah I'm not going to entertain someone who spends 20hrs a day on an internet message board.

Anyway, came to add that I wanted to make a cross platform app recently and learned in order to develop an ipad app, you must build it on an Apple product.

Even microsoft lets you develop .net apps on other platforms.
