I’ll argue iPhone won the smartphone because Windows was such a minefield that a foolproof device like that meant everybody could compute safely.
People who are arguing for freedom to mess up their own computer and those of the tech-illiterate (the kernel access maximalists, the people conflating code signing with corporate oversight) are arguing for giving general computing to closed systems because a majority of users need protection from themselves.
- hulitu 2y ago> that a foolproof device like that meant everybody could compute safely. Can you do real work on an iPhone ?
- bee_rider 2y agoYes there are a couple ok SSH clients for iOS so you can connect to a real computer, which is all any laptop or cellphone is good for anyway.
- philistine 2y agoWhat is real work? I manage a park, and can do all the work on the phone if need be. The only problem is the screen size.

Your works that suppose to be done by you in many countries shifted to your assistants. Look at theirs. I doubt they using apple iPhone to do their work. Otherwise your parks must be rather primitive in operations.
