    Ok so you hate android because you couldn’t stop tinkering with it and it got unstable? And you love apple because they don’t let you tinker with it?

    You must the only one who is actually benefiting from apples anti-consumer practices. Keep using apple. It seems the right choice for you.

    If you don’t tinker with Android it is stable and has almost no bugs. Can’t speak for apps because that is the developers responsibility.

    And yes Android phones are usually more inefficient but as long as I can use it a whole day without charging I don’t care.

      It’s unstable without tinkering with things too. Usually the OS is fine, it’s the individual apps that are the problem, even the built in stuff from Google has problems. My current device isn’t even some shitty Samsung or Motorola phone, it’s a Pixel 4. What’s supposed to be the gold standard.

      You must the only one who is actually benefiting from apples anti-consumer practices.

      Is preventing users from rooting their phone doing stupid shit and breaking their phone really anti consumer? Anti enthusiast? Yes. Anti consumer? Not so much. And it’s not like you can even do that on all Android phones.

        It is anti-consumer. And yes many Android phones are anti-consumer too just not as bad as Apple yet.

        I as the consumer want to have the option to do what I want with my device. I want to be able to root it, install software that isn’t meant for it and even flash a completely different os.

        It’s a choice. Nobody has to do but should be able to if they want to. Taking this choice away is anti-consumer.

        Gluing in a battery into a phone when there’s no need to because it even has space left to make the old swapable ones possible is anti-consumer because you take the option away to change it without breaking your phone.
