Okay, this is not an iPhone vs Android Phone debate. I respect your right to choose whichever platform that you want.
I mean, iPhone seems so antithetical with the idea of freedom. You have to connect it to a server to even use it, all apps have to go through a centralized server, no option to install whatever apps you want, which means, you literally cannot have any third-party apps without an online account.
Most of my fellow americans seems to love the idea of freedom so much, yet just buy into a closed ecosystem with no freedom? 🤔
Like almost 60% of Americans use iPhone, kinda weird to preach freedom when you cant even have an app without a corporation's approval. If it were any other country, I wouldn't find it weird, but for a country that's obsessed with the idea of freedom (so much so that they disobeyed mask mandates), it's really weird to be using a device with zero freedom.
Because my belief in political freedom has nothing to do with my phone choice and it would be odd to conflate the two.
When I had an android I had to spend a lot more time making sure apps would work with my phone and that my phone would be "secure" whereas I have less concerns of that with apple.
Simply put with apple I dont have to do as much work to make sure things work.
That really depends on many factors starting with who made your phone. The cheap $20 Huawei android phone I got as my first android because my previous phone died and I was broke was absolutely dumping everything put through it to someone in the cloud. That is why it only made phone calls.
Bro installing a ROM does not require a CS degree... It requires a USB cable and ability to read instructions which I know is hard for USian pedon but it ain't "hardcore" lol
