“If you don’t like the country’s politics just move elsewhere”. Switching to another ecosystem is not easy for many very obvious reasons. And honestly this “shop elsewhere” argument reminds me of the early iphone days, when iphones didn’t have i.e. multitasking. There were a lot of the similar “go buy a windows phone then” arguments. iPhones got multitasking at the end of the day, and both groups benefited from it.
- scarface_74 3y agoHow hard is it really to switch from an iPhone to and Android?
- allarm 3y agoI have a couple of iphones, an apple watch, an ipad, 3 macbooks; my wife has a similar set of devices. Quite hard I’d say? Why are you asking?
- scarface_74 3y agoDid you not know when you bought all of those devices that the Apple ecosystem wasn’t “open”?
- allarm 3y agoI don’t care about openness too much. Though, the ability to side load is nice to have, that’s that. I am not going to swap between ecosystems, I want the ecosystem that I am using to change. The thing I don’t quite understand - why do you bother? Having the ability to side load doesn’t affect you in any possible way.
- scarface_74 3y agoAs often as I’ve had to clean up my parents Windows computers is why I care. But the question still is, why buy a device that doesn’t meet your priorities?
- allarm 3y agoDo entertain us with your view of the world of operating systems, please. Windows is not the only OS around, this point is completely irrelevant. Anybody can install anything on Linux/Macos/Android system and the heavens did not fall yet. > why buy It does meet my requirements, that’s why. I’ve never said it doesn’t.
- scarface_74 3y agoYes, I’m sure my parents would love to use Linux. Did I miss the “year of the Linux desktop”?
- allarm 3y agoYou’re not making sense. Have a nice day, I guess.
- wiseowise 3y agoHow hard is it to bring whole Apple ecosystem to Android while keeping the same quality of mobile product?
- scarface_74 3y agoIf you judge “quality” by “the ability to sideload”, an iPhone is not “quality”. I’m sure you also want user replaceable parts. In that case, why spend thousands on products that don’t meet your needs?
- allarm 3y agoBecause, obviously, people want to have the best of two worlds in one.
