Why does it matter to me, the customer, whether the crap on my phone that I can't get rid of was placed there by Samsung or my Carrier or Apple? It's still crap

- interpol_p 13y agoIt doesn't matter to you as a consumer. That's not the point. It only matters if you are interested in discussing the amount of control carriers are able to exert over manufacturers, and whether companies are willing to compromise their design vision to satisfy carriers. The entire point of the OP is to that Samsung has a problem with crapware that is not under their control. Regardless of whether you think Apple's pre-installed apps are "crap", it is entirely under their control to remove them — meaning they are in a more flexible position than Samsung. Again, not relevant to you as a consumer. Only relevant if you wish to take part in this discussion.
- tommorris 13y agoThe crap that carriers make tends to actually be crap. The crap that Apple makes tends to be stuff that people queue round blocks for weeks to buy. There's stuff wrong with iOS, sure, but Apple keeping the shit that carriers want to install off the phone is one thing they've done brillianty.
