I get your point and I know it’s a great way to reap those free internet points, but you’re being a little disingenuous with the Apple hate here. Apple never licensed out iOS to the EU or anywhere else. The kernel of iOS is open source. I think it’s a stretch to conclude that Apple purposefully makes their browser incompatible with web standards in any meaningful way to drive App Store revenue. And the minimum price of an iPhone is nowhere near $1000. They start at $350 retail.
- mankash666 8y agoI get your point, and deifying Apple with falsehoods is indeed a great way to score internet points. But touting Apple fandom as facts is disingenuous here. > Apple never licensed out iOS to the EU or anywhere else: I never implied it did. > The kernel of iOS is open source. Please link a ROM to load on my iPhone. I can give you a hundred for any popular Android device. > I think it’s a stretch to conclude that Apple purposefully makes their browser incompatible with web standards in any meaningful way to drive App Store revenue. There's ample evidence to the contrary, and statements from within Apple > They start at $350 retail. No - you can't confuse carrier subsidies and contracts with price.
- lowtolerance 8y ago> They start at $350 retail. No - you can't confuse carrier subsidies and contracts with price. Well it’s a good thing I’m not talking about subsidizing pricing, then. An SE out of contract is $349. An iPhone 8 - a flagship phone - is $699, just a little more than a Pixel.
- mankash666 8y agoI was unaware of iPhone SE's pricing. I stand corrected - you're right about the price.
- knownotknot 8y agoAh. Ok. Maybe do some research before spouting off nonsense? You listed five "like Apple" statements with only one of them being grounded in this thing we call REALITY.
