Are iPhones too expensive? (Apple slips to 4th place in IHS Markit’s list)
- ackfoo 7y agoOne hypothesis is that iPhones are "too premium". My hypothesis is that you can't do anything you really want to do with them, like: - run a VOIP app (tried endlessly; notifications don't work) - run a background process (gets killed almost immediately) - download a file - run a proper browser - block an ad (millions of ad blocker add-ons; none work) - save to external storage - find MAC addresses of other local devices - opt out of 2FA more than two weeks after turning it on - get low-latency audio out - etc. (The list is endless) The walled garden has become a prison.
