Again, there is no alternative. I need a Mac for iOS development. I also do Android development and I know enough details about how the sausage is made that I don't want to use an Android phone as my daily driver.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoSo not only do you buy hardware for this toxic ecosystem, but you directly contribute to its success, and still complain about it. Nice. Android is fine. At least the sausage recipe is available, iOS is a black box that's probably just about as gross inside. You can choose to use technologies that don't disrespect you as a user and a consumer.
- Aaargh20318 9y agoiOS is not a toxic ecosystem, I love the OS they also have far superior hardware. Sure, lacking a headphone jack is annoying, but I can live with that. I can't live with Android phones using inferior CPU's and GPU's. I also wouldn't want to use Google's horribly over-engineered OS.
- Sir_Cmpwn 9y agoWhy does your phone need a powerful CPU or GPU? What exactly are you doing with it that demands that?
- Aaargh20318 9y agoWithout going into specifics, I work on some mobile software that does heavy image processing of the live camera feed. Getting a decent frame rate on shitty Android hardware (even the so-called high-end devices) is quite a challenge. iPhones are so much faster it's not even funny.
