Anonymous, 27 Sep 2023Lol. Voting with your wallet no longer works when consoomer... more3.5mm jack and also microSD card slots are still on Samsung Galaxy phones.
As you dont specify the series of what you talk about and the models. A series some models still have both. Only S series dont have any of them.
So what you are saying is flawed and misleading

Lots of alternatives out there are just pulling apks from the Play Store itself. Like using QooApp or Taptap to bypass games' regional restrictions.
And have seen the number of malicious apps that both Apple and Google removed from their stores all through their entire existence?

Anonymous, 27 Sep 2023Don't buy their products then. Nobody forces you to. ... moreLol. Voting with your wallet no longer works when consoomers who have more money than common sense outnumber the previous group.
And are you even aware how Apple affects other makers behavior?
People who love removable batteries, sd slots and headphone jacks were told not to buy iphones but look at what happened? Especially to Samsung Galaxies.

Walled gardens aren't 100% safe. And most outside sources have people checking on them like XDA.

Unless you're an IT pro, how would you know? Malicious code runs in the background and spy apps like Pegasus don't say "Hi, you've been hacked, we've x-rayed you 101%" when they're stealthily injected unbeknownst to users.

Says the one who doesn't specify which app, nor the source of it, lol.
Then continues up that ladder saying app " had spyware in it " and that " it stole almost all of internal data " without actual proof of such even happening or how did it even become known to him/her, lol2.

I know that you cant have Ford in Chevy and other way around but still people use Chevy engines on Ford or Ford engine in a Chevy.

Wait until the EU finds out that they made their USB connector incompatible with the USB standard.... Apple will get a new "number two" hole, and it'll cost them double digit billions.

I’m a Chevy guy. I’ve always owned a Chevy and I always will. But I like the upholstery in that new Mustang. It’s unfair that I can’t have that beautiful Mustang upholstery in my Chevy. And I really wish I could have the hemi you can order in the new Super Bee. Why won’t they pass a law to make Chevy sell me a car with Mustang upholstery and a Dodge hemi? Oh, and how about Volvo’s 10 year everything warranty?
Governments are forcing manufacturers like Apple to open their ecosystem to others claiming it will increase competition and fairness.
If the first example sounds bizarre why does the second one make sense?

The best part of apple was that it kept away all those Android apps which kept stealing data, puttung unwanted advertisements and bloatware. If anyone doesn't like apple, who is forcing them to buy

I'm really happy with the EU standing up for consumer rights, they should force them to not only adopt RCS, but also force them to open their system. The most important thing is to let 3rd party repair shops repair these products without seeing messages of "Unknown parts".
This will make sure less e-waste, and less profit for Apple.
To the fanboys, you can shill money for any overpriced piece of junk, but I won't be spending so much money for a thing that do all the things a $300 android does very well.
