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.

    So you really think the world’s largest ad company makes a phone where you can just “deny” access easily?

    If you use Google services, which you do with android (unless you’re a hardcore degoogler) they’ll know everything about you.

      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

      WTF is up with this limp dick attitude in here

      I swear people hate the idea of freedom

        Can you walk through your mom in installing a rom on a random Android when she lives 1000km away?

        If not, it’s not easy enough.
