I am not that happy with this.
From a legal perspective and the size of Apple I understand why this happened
and for the most part I fully agree with the legal arguments.
I went with Android for a well over a decade and it was fun.
So many things I could do with it and so many ways to fiddle with it
even rooting it.
My nerd in me like that.
I had an iPhone for a while and the lack of customizations and fiddling was
quite annoying, switched back, then a few years ago I went and got an iPhone
for reals (I mean fully knowing what I was giving up).
I was tired of all the Android problems.
I didn't enjoy fiddling anymore
I had no longer an interest in rooting it.
and I was pissed off about 6000 different Android implementations
and how older phones lost Android updates quickly leaving plausible
security vulnerabilities.
(I suppose Google phones get all the updates for a long time).
and usually, one vendor would make their own "enhancements" to the OS anyways.
I became the enemy and embraced the walled garden, the shitty game of move
your new app icon around and around to try to fit it where you want it,
more expensive hardware/cables etc.
In my opinion there is less shit in the app store as well.
As long as the sideloading and whatever else does not impact my phone as long
as I dont do it myself I am fine with it.
It it leads to more vulnerabilities and other problems for everyone I dont like it.
It is not the 100% great mobile phone. (hello my classic BB), and at times
inconvenient but I prefer a nice walled garden and limits on what I can do.
I also prefer all my family and friends to be on the iPhone, if and only if
I know I will be providing endless technical support
"uh you need to fix my cellphone!"
> ok.,. what phone do you have?
Well its a model XXX from YYY company about 4 years old.
> Do you know what version of Android its running? ¹
Sure its the VVV version customized for YYY but it has not been updated for over year.
> Buy an iPhone.
another day
"uh you need to fix my cellphone!"
> ok.,. what phone do you have?
" uh it is an iPhone 10"
> great.
> what is the problem?
¹ In real life there is no way the people I provide with unwilling endless technical support would have even a small inkling of what OS it is running.
but it fit the made-up dialog.
