There is no real alternative. Anything Android is unacceptable. Anything Linux doesn't run on devices of comparable physical format and spec. So, all things considered, I can't stop giving Apple money, because it will very adversely affect the quality of my life. That't the main issue and that's why Apple is an exploitative monopoly.

>Anything Android is unacceptable. That's your opinion. Android is not perfect but at least I am free to sideload anything I want without jailbreak so I'm not stuck in Google's walled garden. >I can't stop giving Apple money, because it will very adversely affect the quality of my life Jesus, in what first world is giving up on Apple impacting one's quality of life? This is meme material.

  "Jesus, in what first world is giving up on Apple impacting one's quality of life?" Likewise, this is also just your opinion. Why can't you accept other peoples opiniin on their idea of quality of life? And it actually makes sense to me (even though I never use apples products). Because it means changing (allmost) all your apps and software. Everything you set up to your liking. Don't you think changing this is hard and therefore lowers quality of life?

    Not knocking it but that's what you get when you sign up for a walled garden with no exit plan.

      Sure, thats why I never want to go into the garden either. But if others feel the walled garden improves their live - their choice.

        Sure, if you feel a walled garden improves your life go ahead, but don't be surprised later when the owner of the garden takes advantage of you being locked in.

        I'm more worried about the scenario where all commerce is happening within that garden and I'm forced to participate whether I like it or not.

    I think people around the world, specially in Africa, have other point of view in what quality of life actually means.

      Sure. But most of them want a IPhone, too. As it is viewed as a status symbol of being rich and succesful. But I live in the first world and I don't want a IPhone as it would lower my quality of life as I want open systems. Point being, quality of life is subjective.

  Of course it's my opinion. Did you read it as an universal statement on everyone's behalf? And it is my world where giving up Apple smartphones and tablets will effectively means not using any of these, because as I said there are no suitable alternatives. So doing that will make my life far less convenient and comfortable than it is and it's not a real option.
