No, thanks.
Apple is notoriously horrible when it comes to localization: Apple Maps (localization, regional maps, regional traffic data, turn by turn), iOS supported languages, Siri supported languages, their new Apple Translate that only has 7-8 languages, Spotlight suggestions, etc.
They're also very slow to expand their services, I think Apple News still only supports 4 countries.
Just buy DuckDuckGo
- baq 6y agoddg is 99% bing.
- themodelplumber 6y agoMan that 1% of icing is pretty amazing then.
- jjcon 6y agoDo you see large differences between ddg and bing? I get close to the same results on both sites especially for images
- three_seagrass 6y agoThat icing is Yandex, so no thank you.
- kinkrtyavimoodh 6y agoAnd by icing you mean Yandex, right?
- djxfade 6y agoYeah, as a non US citizen, this annoys me. Every year Apple announce a new cool feature, but I won't be able to use it for years. Like a lot of the Maps features, the News app, the better predictive keyboard, etc. Apple is the most valuable company in the world, they really have no excuse.
- Tsarbomb 6y agoI mean they are doing something right if people are willingly buying their products while fully knowing they are deficient in features.
- PossiblyKyle 6y agoYou can’t compare them to Google, almost everything they do is exclusive to the US. They seriously treat the rest of the world as an afterthought
- akmarinov 6y agoYep, they have the Designed for California mindset down.
