Comment on Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud
Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 year agoI would change to apple if it weren’t for a few annoying bits, mostly to do with the walled garden. Like the appletv I have has a terrible input for typing unless you have an iPhone…so now I want neither.
I’m in the same boat, but it seems to be some things they’re going to change in 2024. Namely, sideloading apps, actual Firefox with add-ons, and the ability to actually move app icons wherever I want on the home screen (not sure if that’ll change ever).
They’ve already gone to USB-C, which was the main reason I never would have switched over.
Even with all those changes I wouldn’t change.
Sideloading’s possible and surprisingly easy on iOS even for non-technical folks, I use AltStore but I thinks there’s other options. Don’t know what I’d without uYou+ or TikTok LRD

Yeah but android is owned by an advertising company, all they want is data. Apple has a better system and less need to push for more data.

Apple is also an advertizing company, and walled garden ecosystem makes it harder to avoid its reach.

Android is not owned by Google, but used and heavily supported by Google. It is open source, you can check how much data bare Android is collecting.
And ‘all they want is data’ is wrong, too, all they want is money. Same with Apple, all they want is money. And if they get more money by collecting user data to target more people to buy Apple products, they will do that.

All they want is data because that is their model for how they make money. Android may not be outright owned by Google but it’s development and funding without Google would be on a very different level. Yeah it is open source to an extent but the versions out by Google have their changes made, which goes across the vast majority of android devices.

But I can removed them instead Apple if they want to track you cant remove it from there. Even on their secure mode the DNS was reaching to Apple servers.
