  It’s 2023 and we’re still doing this? It’s pretty obvious neither is objectively better, stop being so loyal to companies and their products.

    This is kind of sad because it didn’t used to be the case because Android was miles ahead of iOS back in the day, likely because its development was driven by a healthy mix of many OEMs and the FOSS community.

    Now its just a java version of Google’s copy of iOS that just so happens to run on the linux kernel.

    They keep each other entertained though, it’s fun watching brand lovers go at each other.

      Corporate bootlickers are the worst. I don’t even find them funny just irritating and sad.

    Like you and android? ;)

      Nice assumption ;) no I don’t like Google either.

        So you don’t use an android?

  iOS has its issues.

  As an iPhone user, it is true. There are things I like about iOS specifically that prompted my move from Android but overall stock Android is a better, more configurable, modern OS.

    What are the “things”

      The big one is Apple’s new Advanced Data Protection. It’s very new, and it isn’t on by default, but that was a killer feature that brought me to Apple I don’t necessarily trust Apple any more than I’d trust Google, but the ability to E2E encrypt my cloud-backed data out of the box is something Google will likely never do.

      But I bet most users will never even know that exists.

        Google is really the only reason I won’t consider Android for anything. Time and time again they’ve proven themselves to be untrustworthy. Sure, Apple may collect your data, but their entire existence isn’t about selling that data to advertisers. I wish there were more options.

      I dunno basic things I can do on my mbp like placing icons wherever I like lol.

      source

      • tsonfeir@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        So your main reason is icon position. Not… like anything else. Alright then. Well you’ll be glad to know that’s possible on iOS now. Just… drag it around like… an icon.

  Do iPhones even have a way to add multiple users yet? Last time I checked there was no option, but I haven’t bothered for a while, so did they finally add that?

  • SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    And when Google added it, it became accidental ransomware, locking them out of their system?

    I’m not sure how this is a good argument. “Yeah, well, that thing that Google just released that’s totally fucking broken, really badly. Does the iPhone even have the same thing?”

    No, last I checked, the iPhone doesn’t have an option for multiple users that results in an a ransomware-like-outcome.

      Multi profile users have been around for many years, they’re not new. Also the fanboyism in this comment is really weird, Apple isn’t going to pay you.

        What phone doesn’t have child labor somewhere along the line? Fairphone? They use 3rd party chips for some things.

    I’ve never considered multiple users on a phone to be a feature I’d ever use. Interesting concept I guess.

      I personally got couple use cases.

      Work profile: I can split my works stuff and personal very easily (and for security as personal apps cannot see or work with work stuff usually).

      This also helps if you want to get same app installed multiple times. Ex. I could install pokemon go and use two profiles same time with split screen.

      “true” secondary profile: like in desktop OS where you can create multiple profiles, this will “boot” phone to new profile and it has own partition and apps. Cannot interact with other “true” profiles.

      I use that with my child if I hand phone to her. She cannot get to my stuff (not even images or other data) and only has her stuff available.

        So do you have a work phone number? Do you have different contacts? Do you just have a bunch of duplicate contacts?

        I’m really not seeing the benefit when you could just organize your work applications in a single area and use your notification settings to determine which contacts get what types of notifications when you are “work mode.” I assume android has that, since iOS certainly does.
