        The EU's competition chief is taking a long nap. If it were Google saying this we would already have another record fine, but it's Apple so all is fine in Euroland.

        SShock, 09 Sep 2022Let me get this straight, you're blaming iPhone for ga... moreWhere I'm living is a consumer with reasonable expectations. The amount of people that used the headphone jack before it was removed from most flagships contradicts most people not wanting it. While yes the iPhone can play FLAC files, to get a storage trim that would be big enough for me, it would be way too much money, especially since I'd have to buy a 200-300$ DAC to go with it to regain the audio quality my V60 has natively. Not to mention in Canada the 14 pro max which is what I would need to have a comparable camera experience, is ridiculously expensive compared to the 175$ I payed for my V60. Say what you will about android photo quality but it doesn't change the fact that 64MP will always be sharper than 12. I don't know how you figure a 12MP is better than 64MP. Lastly, the media consumption experience would be inferior, since the 14 PM has a slightly shorter aspect ratio screen, where as the V60 is nearly 21*9 with just a small, barely noticeable notch to contend with. Overall, it would just be a ridiculous and useless purchase to someone like me. Also, on LG phones changing game resolution is done through android, not through the game itself. The game doesn't have to be supported to change the resolution.

Then you barged in and started comparing it to much larger, much more powerful portable speakers and "soundbars" saying how iPhone sux. Uuuum, duh? That's why I'm saying your comments are entirely nonsensisal and you just don't get it.

              As much as I loathe Apple, Tim Apple & his tactics, why don't people in NA (esp. US) just get off SMS & install any of the other dozen or so apps instead?!
              & tim 🍎 would obviously love to sell you/your mom another iphone, so his answer wasn't so surprising after all!

                  I would rather stop using phones than accept this slavery. Customers really don't have a choice even after paying for their overpriced brick, I guess. Pretentious cult.

                      if he wants my family to use iphones, he's supplying them and paying our monthly tarrifs

                        Everyone has the right to choose whatever product they want to use and create whatever thing they want think in their minds. The end of the day, it's all about personal preference. You don't like Apple and don't like the way it running its system? Take it or leave it! Stay with your Elite Androids! No one force you to choose these stupid design devices and the poor isolated os system. Apple wouldn't even care or give a sh*t about what people making fun, laughing and mocking at it, they just end up making themselves to be clowns.

Google has gone through how many app revisions and versions of their "messaging" app so far? Why would Apple bother doing implementation whose author can't seem to make up their mind on their end?
