Just because something is on Wikipedia doesn’t mean ‘everyone agrees with it. You can’t seriously believe this.
Are you really trying to claim people are buying Apple watches they can’t use because they don’t have an iPhone?
That doesn’t seem grounded in reality.
- fsflover 5y agoWikipedia is not a source. It's a list of reliable sources. Feel free to read the carefully provided links.
- zepto 5y agoNot one of those sources represents something ‘everyone agrees’ with. You know this.
- fsflover 5y agoFrom my second link: "Apple iOS and other mobile devices, which are restricted to running pre-approved applications from a digital distribution service." If you find The Guardian and Time references unsatisfactory, consider this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21587191 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21587191. I really don't understand why you are so much defending Apple.
- zepto 5y agoI’m not defending Apple. I’m rebutting the ridiculous idea that what is printed in the Guardian is what ‘everybody agrees’.
- fsflover 5y agoI did not suggest that an article in Guardian means everybody agrees with that. In this case, Apple themselves agree that the iOS platform is closed for many things.
- zepto 5y agoYes you did. You posted it as evidence of this statement you made: >> However everyone agrees that Apple created a walled garden which is hard to escape. Apple agrees it’s closed in some ways. Far from ‘everyone’ thinks it’s hard to escape.
- fsflover 5y agoIn my opinion, everybody who doesn't think it's hard to escape did not research Apple well enough. I showed you (some) evidence that it's a closed ecosystem. You could show me something suggesting it's not, if you are so sure.
