Comment on Japan prepares regulation requiring Apple to allow sideloading

  By and large, probably… But I don’t think it’s true for everyone.

  As an iPad owner myself, I would love to ditch the OS! And I suppose alternative OSes would be pretty popular with the people jailbreaking their phones.

  I don’t want to impose alternative OSes on others. I would just like the option for me!

  Yeah it’s literally a status symbol amongst kids.

  My kid is desperate for one but can’t give me a single compelling reason apart from they’re seen as cool.

    I like Apple products because they just work. I have tried Windows, Linux, & Android, but I ultimately decided on just using the Apple Ecosystem (except for my gaming computer) because the products just work well. Sure they cost more and are locked down but I am willing to sacrifice those things for things for the boost in productivity.

    Apple isn’t for everybody but their products have upsides.

      They just work (usually) if you want to use their products the way they want you to use them.

      If you have your own idea how to do something on your own that’s any different, you will slowly go insane.

        Well… Yeah? That’s the case for most products.

        Why downvotes? They are both right, with an exception of MacBooks. Otherwise, you are limited by use cases predicted by the manufacturer, even if it “just works”.

        I use both iPhone and MacBook, with the latter mostly as a Unix that, again, “just works”, but I can even go as far as compile whole GNU userspace natively with Gentoo Prefix (one of many options).
