New "it's all good" campaign by Google targeted at iPhone users
New "it's all good" campaign by Google targeted at iPhone users
Subsequent 15 sec videos trying to convince iPhone users by focusing on:
-
privacy & security (https://piped.video/watch?v=sFpuVW8SR_k), vaguely touts proactive protection without really specifying what it is in the video (they do show a Play Protect scan as an example), but pretty sure they're referring to this: https://www.android.com/safety/security/
-
emoji reactions (https://piped.video/watch?v=P0bcpUqEfdM);
-
transferring photos (https://piped.video/watch?v=WLhREY3ynrE);
-
device compatibility (https://piped.video/watch?v=HE7AklvsG5o), basically shows an example of device pairing.
IMO the examples are pretty basic and vague, not what would win over any iPhone user.
As a long time Android user, stop focusing on Apple and focus on your own damn software and hardware.
The good part of Android is that you don't need to take Apple's shits. The bad part is that you now have to take a certain amount of Google's shits.
Well, you can always degoogle an android phone, even without rooting it (adb).
Isn't it all about the blue bubbles being one of the bigger reasons. I wonder what impact apps like imessage not being tied to hardware would have.
This is why I like services like beeper bringing iMessage support over to android. I get to use the phone like, but also make my friends happy by not messing up the blue bubbles
Same. I'm using Beeper on my Pixel for iMessage. I use OneCalender to sync my Apple Calendar with my wife. No reason to use an iPhone. I prefer Android.
Ya Beeper is awesome. I use it for WhatsApp, because I need it for my landlord, but there's no chance in hell I'm installing WhatsApp on my phone.
I use android and I will still say I think iOS had an edge when it comes to security. iOS sandbox is far more restrictive of what apps can and can't do. While I disagree with certain restriction others I can see. Keep in mind as far as I am aware android apps can still do things like list every application on the device, and don't get me started on Google Play services
Cybersec White Papers haven't ranked an iPhone as the most secure phone in like 5 years.
I use graphine and put all the spooky apps in my "work" profile and that seems to make me feel safe enough, keep in mind while I would love it if I could convince every single friend to move to FOSS applications I know deep down that would be really hard to do
If I’m going with Android, it’s going to be a custom ROM without Google services. F-Droid FTW =]
Very little to do with the iPhone. I don't get it.
In all of those videos they show someone trying to transfer his stuff from an iPhone
