What is your motivation posting this? Because it sounds like a great example of "whataboutism". Just because an evil is done a lot, and in different contexts doesn't make it not evil.
- alangpierce 8y agoMy reading of it was that product50 was providing additional relevant information and context, which I personally found interesting and useful. I didn't at all get the impression that product50 was trying to make an argument like "since everyone's doing it, that makes it ok" (or any argument at all, for that matter).
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoEvery other comment here boils down to "get an iPhone". If the claim that this is also happening on iOS is true then it's highly relevant to the discussion.
- robertAngst 8y agoApple users have the need to defend Apple at every turn. Android users enjoy bashing Google at every turn. Just like I bash M$ despite loving windows 10 and Excel... (actually I've gotten better about this)
- zozbot123 8y agoDon't worry, I bash Windows 10 and Office too (yes, including Excel), and I'm someone who actively dislikes them. OTOH, the best thing I could say about Apple these days is that iOS is genuinely better built than it's obvious alternatives (Android and ChromeOS) and that they do a tolerable job of supporting their mobile hardware, but that's kinda damning with faint praise.
