The whole point of the phone is that you don't install or uninstall apps. They're there, and are immutable as far as I can tell. _EDIT_ raffael_de is absolutely correct, apps can be installed and removed, as they have their own &q

I like the idea, but I have major problems with their inclusion of Meta-owned WhatsApp. Any company which cares about privacy should throw WhatsApp into a volcano. That said, I understand why they include it as much of the world uses it as

I'm sure it will work fine until they abandon it in a year or two, like the preceding platform, and the one before that, and the one before that.

It's a much better experience anyway. I've had mine for a couple years and wondered why I didn't do it sooner.

The closest thing "the right" has to an instruction book is Project 2025, and they've made a lot of progress in enacting their goals right under our noses. The constant distraction, misdirection, and seeming insanity is a fea

I'm sure they're forced to do that and graded on how many upgrades they sell. Their bosses will even listen on calls and if they don't make all those pitches, they'll get written up or fired. Source: seen it first-person

This is the era of unbridled, shameless narcissism and tech is no different. Money and publicity are excellent vehicles for the narcissist.

This has been the plan all along. Tesla is the only one of any of these companies who makes money (but dwindling) and by getting Elon majority shares of SpaceX, he can then gain majority control of Tesla.
