I’m never gonna buy an Apple product again. JK: there is no alternative. Has anyone used Android recently? It’s still ridiculously bad.
Not bad at all.

Samsung cannot even get their 💩 together and stop making copypaste products with literally same camera modules. That makes me sad because their phones have good Android version - OneUI, much better than stock, Google copies a lot from them.

Also box their devices come in is ugly asf, just look:

Yes, “do not look outside, use what’s inside”, but I just can’t get over the fact that they sell expensive phone is this ugly box.

As for Pixel, it has better box design and overall design but has some flaws such as overly Google Android, no custom apps obviously (like on Samsung). Big plus is that apps works as fast as on iPhone.

Chinese phones are hit or miss. OnePlus seems to be very good. There are also Oppo, Vivo that are good cameraphones. So there is some choice. Performance seems to be as good as iPhone, sometimes much cheaper
 
So, we are almost all not suporting this.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Cook really only has two choices.

- Attend these dinners/meetings to hear first hand about what the administration is doing.
- Don’t attend and be kept in the dark about upcoming changes that could adversely affect your company.

Anyone who thinks Cook supports Trump and what he stands for is delusional.
To all, thinking they could do better: Keep this in mind, do not just disaprove it and: Make it better for the good of everyone. Your alternatives are welcome...
 
Western governments, including America have ordered the killing of journalist. Why do people overlook this?
Because all most people know are sensationalist headlines. Any kind of digging below the surface shows a very different story. America is not that different from other countries. We just do these terrible things in the shadows and if its in the open it's with a tuxedo on.

I want to like android the last time I tried was probably Galaxy S20 I'm guessing. I like what Google is doing with Gemini and AI on their devices but do not like the hardware. If samsung had everything from pixel including the dialer I would probably try it out.

I understand working with any administration, but gifting him with a 24K gold and glass statue? That is not negotiating; it is downright repulsive. But it’s all of these billionaires, not just him.

So disgusting Apple.... so disgustingly bad...

Don't blame Cook. As a company, Apple has not adopted the horrific values of fascism and authoritarianism that so many all over the world are currently clinging to. He has to hold his nose and do these things or else Trump will punish Apple for not bending a knee. He is sacrificing his own image and reputation to protect Apple. If you think Apple can survive by ignoring the evils that currently control the world, then you are an impractical idealist.

It isn't just being kept in the dark. It is being cast into the dark. Trump has already shown himself to be a petulant tyrant who punishes anyone who doesn't bend the knee. Quite literally, Cook is trying to keep Apple safe from Trump's outrageous and illegal targeting.

Yep, it’s like worry about journalists being killed in your own country first before some random Middle East country. But people are morons and will get riled up at the next thing the headlines and bots tell them to.
