While I agree with you on the topic of stickiness, I would like to mention that FaceTime now supports calls to Android devices. Regarding the bubbles, I can’t say I really understand the issue. I’ve had both android and iOS devices and the

I had a similar feeling. This isnt the people of x country suing Apple to allow external payment systems, this is businesses that make $1mil (I think) or more per year(?) via the AppStore… just business interests being paraded around as fre

Are you an iOS / iPasOS user by chance? If you are and you continue to use these products would you mind explaining why you are staying with Apple products vs switching to Android or any other alternative that might meet your needs? If

While the methods may differ, is this not true of any governments intelligence agencies? Whether or not there is press/courts/rule of law. For press to report on an event they have to be aware of it, for courts to intervene they a

Please explain how they are not equivalent. Just because two governments are on good terms or are in some kind of partnership does not guarantee that one or the other will not take actions that benefit only them. What am I missing here?

Tens of thousands of coordinated mass murderers? Curious what the threshold is to becoming a mass murderer, and also wondering if “tens of thousands” of these people meet that criteria. I’m not fighting in this war, but I do have family and

Ok, what if you don’t use paypal. Or if one app uses pay pal, but another wants you to use some other payment solution. You’re still stuck registering to new services and sharing your CC info. So now you also have to remember what service i

If you are referring to Android as being the “free competitor” I would suggest you pinch yourself to see if you’re not dreaming. If you are referring to some niche spinoff of android that doesn’t link into the play store than you can disreg

Not to mention that Russia is a major producer of fertilizer, which they just stopped exporting.

The latest iOS still supports iPhone 6S (2015), and a battery replacement from Apple costs between $40-80 if I remember correctly. Do you have any android device in mind (from 2015) that is still supported and sees regular updates?

“Every. Single. One.” There have been some bugs here and there, but it’s really not the mess you’re claiming it to be.

Lots of interesting words in your comment. Can you elaborate on what the first sentence means?

How will this impact things like Venmo or Apple Pay, both of which currently charge some % for instant transfer to your checking account.

So success and satisfaction are not the things that keep you feeling good/happy? I don’t understand what you mean to say.

Afaik iMessage chat is encrypted, unless you have iCloud backups enabled for messages.

What kind of a mess are we talking about here? I haven’t had any group chat issues (android and iOS participants) for the last few years.. I do remember it would bug out on occasion but I just haven’t seen any of that in a long time. I have

Good question. It seems that there may be too many PM’s trying to make a name for themselves. There may also be a lack of vision, and a lack of willingness to let a product live and to make incremental changes to it… it either succeeds righ

If people can disable iMessages, and also use other messaging apps, what is the issue here? If people don’t want to be in the “walled garden” are they not allowed to switch from iPhone to Android? Certainly someone willing to dish out the c
