I have this philosophy that the eye phone is basically just a copyrighted phone with nothing original about it.

In my home we have iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, MacBook pros, and an Apple TV. Every device works so well with one another. At this point we couldn’t switch to android even if we wanted to.
@anekarice Says:
If a company feels the need to trap me into their eco system so that I have no choice but to keep buying their protects, that tells me their products ain't all that.
I haven't owned an iPhone for ten years, and their new models look great, but I prefer choice.
@Jparkss Says:
Yeah I hate to say this but I think Android has been calling me for awhile, but I’ve been using Apple since the 5s and have a Mac Pro, Apple Watch, and AirPods. The Mac and iPhone combination is great for me since I use the files app a lot and sometimes iMessage and FT, the Apple Watch IMO is kinda mid tbh, if it didn’t have fitness I wouldn’t even bother using it, AirPods are great just earbuds really. I think the thing about Apple within the States is that everyone made them overhype, iMessage and FT are great but only great if you utilize them 24/7. If there was some universal ft or iMessage thing I would definitely buy a pixel or Samsung. I think Apple is running out of ideas and marketing ideas that other phones had for the past 2-3 years already; for Apple it’s a business and they sadly got us drinking the Kool Aid
@ThirdLife86 Says:
Why not create an iMessage App for Android and then make it a low priced subscription ? Like a Dollar a month or two or even five ? So you also profit from it even when you lose a customer that is now buying an Android. But he might still pay for iMessage and you win either way.
@user-zr5df9fp8i Says:
I look at iMessage very similar to when Al tell before it became Verizon wireless had the mobile to mobile texting where as long as you were texting with someone who had the same carrier as an altell/Verizon, you wouldn’t be charged for the text. That iMessage is to me and I understand it, but I also understand what you are saying by not being able to text people with android. Because if you have an iPhone that has no cell service and you are using iMessage over Wi-Fi to text another iPhone I do agree you should be able to text. Android as well and it is a wall I have hit at times cuz friends of mine don’t have iPhones.

Everyone knows the DOJ has had it out for Apple since they refused to hand the FBI a master key to iCloud. That's what this really is. DOJ is salty that Apple told them to pound sand.
@nicolas.pascal Says:
Apple is one of the few companies that practice good design for the products HOLISTICALLY. The apple eco system is only part of good ux design. Other companies that pull off good design (rarely) do it in certain areas that tend to be superficial for marketing purposes for that shiny object syndrome.
Plus, frankly, google and chinese products don't have a good rep when it comes to privacy and safety. Sure you can tinker with it to make it safer than apple, but that's not for the average person out there.

I've always been android...I did try out iPhone & I wasn't a fan; the camera & imessage games were my only favorite things.
I've had the iPhone 1, 5 & 8 (5 was pretty good, updated all the way to the 12) I don't think I'll never get another iPhone

Most people would have an iPhone in Brazil if local taxes weren’t wildly high. Over there it’s crazy 2.5x-3x their original US prices

Not guilty. Rolls Royce has better seats then Mercedes Benz. Is Rolls Royce liable if their seats don’t fit a Mercedes Benz?
@thisisalanskiy Says:
Speaking of legal and illegal. The fact that Apple doesn't allow me to transfer files to other non-apple devices via bluetooth should also be considered illegal, imo.

All these Euros bragging about everyone just using Whatsapp and not seeing the irony is hilarious.

wechat would be illegal in USA and EU.... because this app do have some things that not other app can... like the support of they gouvernement.... and a lot of funtionalities that work only there....
@denisds130 Says:
The dominance of iPhone in the US and not in other countries is because of its price. I have to spend my 2 whole wages to buy an iPhone 15 pro in Poland. Meanwhile in the US it's not even half of a paycheck if i'm right?
@salfa1 Says:
I’m from the US. I have used both Android and iPhone. I don’t see how it’s a monopoly if you can just go buy a different phone. The walls are pointless if you can just say f apple and go buy an android or a flip phone. I would call it a monopoly if you had to have an iPhone because it was the only device available because they bought or destroyed everything else and there was no competition.

The word is "unethical". I hope there are better interoperability guidelines so no one company can force people to chose their products and tie them to their ecosystem.
@IDrawToothpicks Says:
Im going to be brutally honest. iphone isnt good anymore. People get it because other people have it. Or theya re soo use to the UI. It feels too simple to me. But i dont mind if my friends have it. The only reason id get it is for the apple watch. And i dont have enough money for all of that. even if i did i dont know if i would stay. I had iphone long ago and ended up trying pixel and samsung and sticking with them, no regrets <3

what if i produce a car, but it only works with my gasoline?, and if someone else wants to sell you gasoline im gonna charge them 30%, also if you want to change the oil of the car, it has to be the oil i produce, same with the tires, only my tires work well, im gonna make the car feel bumpy if its not using my brands tires, thats monopolistic behavior right?
@benaravensfan Says:
A lot of the staff at my recovery program have iPhones. I had edited a 4K video using my Windows 11 Pro for Workstations gaming laptop, which has a NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4060 GPU, and the final cut was in MP4 format because everything there needs to be as accessible as possible (a.k.a. no proprietary formats) and when one of them tried to download it to their iPhone from Google Drive to upload to Facebook and YouTube, iOS was blocking the download. They had to get a Windows laptop out of their locked tech cabinet to do the post/upload. Also, one of the staff tried to Facetime a client that had a Samsung Galaxy A15 smartphone and she got pissed when it didn't work and I was able to video call them no problem using Google Meet. I own a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with Verizon 5G UW cell service.

What’s funny about the WeChat example is you could use WeChat as an example of a monopoly. Like you said, it does literally everything from banking to calling a taxi to messaging to making payments. Kinda hard to compete in the software market with that around.

Speaking in terms of costs of switching, I don't think that's a wall at all. 1500 for a new Apple phone, or 800 for a decent android phone, + 100 for headphones + 100 for a smart watch.

iPhones refuse to use the newer RCS format that modern phones have been using in this generation.
SMS sucks, that's why Androids use RCS.
Anytime any of my iPhone toting friends message me, I cringe at the fact that it force reverts to SMS. They may see green bubbles, but I see archaic garbage being spewed from their phones on my end. So, the feeling is mutual.

Google maps is SO much better than apple maps, that's kind of big. Chrome is also WAY better than Safari. The YouTube app is also better in Android, and for years you couldn't swipe to text on iPhone and that was a deal breaker, but they finally got that. But you know what you still can't do on an iphone? You can't open up the phone keypad and begin typing a contact name in t9 format to automatically pull up the contact! You have to go to contacts and type it out on the keyboard, how insane is that? It's so much faster to just hit 2 or 3 buttons in t9 to auto fill any contact you want, way less touches required. I refuse to use voice for anything, that's so lame to talk to your phone. Even if you don't mind it, there are still situations where you wouldn't want to do it.
iMessage is pretty dope tho.

I’ve went back and forth for close to a decade and in my opinion when it comes to just doing stuff simply, smoothly and extremely well the iPhone reigns supreme. Android does one thing extremely well and that’s offer loads of choices and customization which for an indecisive person who just wants to get a job done simply and efficiently the iPhone wins.

The US Government thought it would be an excellent idea to take one of the largest companies in the USA and the only tech company the US has that is competitive and...........................................try to destroy it. I mean Apple is one of the only US products that export and bring foreign funds go the USA and the wonderful US Biden economy, they thought Hmmmmm lets destroy that. Kind of like how Biden is doing his best to destroy space X and Tesla. It's like they are trying to sink the US. letting illegals, not charging criminals, making illegals police officers. Yeah, they are purposely destroying the USA for global government reasons. Oh, wait Apple has plants all over the world and can literally change company country homeland with simple paper work and with lower taxes and no import fees. I recommend Iceland.
