Look, I'm happy about the EU regulating these things and think it's great for the overall ecosystem. But can we please stop with the "Apple users are braindead" circlejerk? It's so fucking cringe, and it unironically reminds me of the unebearable zeal that Apple cultists used to (and probably still do but I see it less) impose on anyone who made the mistake of getting to close to them.
I've had many Android phones over the years, and one iPhone 8. While I am considering moving to a de-Googled Android for privacy reasons, I have to say, my iPhone has held up better than any of my Android phones (Galaxy S3, S4, LG G3) did, without needing to replace the battery. Just because you can't understand why someone might want one doesn't mean everyone who gets an iPhone is an idiot.
I would much rather have left this kind of tech chest-beating over at reddit.
Edit: This was directed more towards the community as a whole and to the commenters I've seen saying this kind of thing in this thread and most other threads like it in lemmy/reddit. The original post by OP isn't really what I was responding to.
Those who are still on the 'apple bad' train like to forget they are running an OS built by an ads company.
Every phone manufacturer has some bad shit, I choose to stick with apple cuz I already have a big library of paid stuff.
At least they with android can change and look at everything since its open source. Root and toot. Ios will fall due to its lock ins just like Microsoft once did. Same same but different.
