- AdmiralAsshat 3y agoCan you get root on vanilla Android or iOS without jail-breaking, though? That seems generally true irrespective of the convergence factor.
- Tijdreiziger 3y agoYes, so the point is that people who care a lot about such things may not consider vanilla Android or iOS to be ‘true’ operating systems, but rather a sandbox with limited functionality.
- angeleye 3y agoBingo! I don't consider my phone a 'full computer', it's more like a 'computing appliance'.
