I fucking hate Apple with a passion.
Edit: many people seem to be a bit confused. I don't own any apple garbage, and never will. I've only had an iPhone back in 2016 for a little while then replaced that shit with a pixel 6p. I don't buy shit that makes my life difficult.
Sent from an iPhone
Nope. I'm an android user.
Why? Just get Android. Plenty of choices.
I've had one iPhone once and that was back in 2016.had if for a couple of months and it made me hate life and got rid of it and got me a pixel 6p. I've always been an android and Linux person. So, yeah, I hate apple with a passion
it sounds like tying your shoes probably makes your life difficult
Why? What have they done to you? If you don’t like their products, simply don’t buy them.
Apple has made a lot of anti-consumer decisions. And since Apple is a big market force, other companies follow suite when they pull off shit like that. There is a legitimate reason to not like Apple.
It’s not that simple.
Blue chat boxes affect everyone. RCS is a stepping stone but my daughter wouldn’t be caught dead with a green chat box. Tell me how that isn’t Apple using their dominance to prevent other players?
FaceTime (which they PROMISED to open up but never did) affects everyone.
The FaceTime software, would have done plentiful towards the industry & others, if it became open sourced.
But nope, they decided to make it exclusive for only within the Apple product bubble. Now we are supporting with so many video apl software/ tools. It's just fragmented. It's okey with competition but this is far too much. Also the quality, safety have lessoned.
No, they didn’t decide to do that at all. Not opening up FaceTime is a direct result of a patent lawsuit by VirnetX
Learning new things daily. Appreciate for the link.
sounds like your daughter is a typical sheep - perhaps THAT'S the issue you ought to try having an issue with rather than a company doing normal business.
LOL. What a charmer you are.
How do they affect you if you don’t even have an iPhone? You’ll never see those blue bubbles.
Besides, the defacto standard for chat apps is WhatsApp, hardly anyone uses iMessage anyway.
This was due to a patent lawsuit. Blame VirnetX, not Apple.
If you are in a peer group of teens where 70% have iPhones the lack of decent interoperability with Android affects the 30% that can’t be part of the conversations.
It is not true that WhatsApp is the defacto standard everywhere. Might be true for you but large pockets where that ain’t true.
I am blaming VirnetX but we both know it could be solved if Apple wanted to solve it.
What makes you think I buy their garbage? Literal garbage.
Then what are you bitching about?
Your mom
Show me on the doll where Apple touched you.
Does that doll have a wallet?

I don't get many of the English jokes/sarcasm, so not sure what to answer you. I just don't buy their garbage.
