the experience would be the same if all the apps were disabled by default - and ONLY when the user goes to install them they are able to just enable it instead

- lern_too_spel 7y agoNo, it wouldn't. The user expects a fully functional phone out of the box, complete with web browser and mail client.
- MiracleUser 7y agoi meant the user who isnt expecting the phone to have what they want gets the experience. otherwise why allocate disk space to be read only and have apps on it people might not want? (as far as user experience is concerned)
- lern_too_spel 7y agoYou said, "the experience would be the same." For the vast majority of users who expect the device to be productive out of the box, the experience would be significantly degraded.
- MiracleUser 7y agoah yeah i did not articulate that fully. i see the implication i was making now i meant they can maintain an app store experience without the bottlneck of downloading expected apps on day 1. instead of downloading and using data an wasting time, it would enable the app. so its the same "opt-in" experience as downloading but with benefits
