If you like extra features, though, you might wanna check out Cometin.

                  This headline and article are missing the refinement that this website normally has. Unnecessarily using words like "Shocking" to draw users is akin to a Page 3 magazine headline. There's nothing shocking about this.

                    Glad Apple joined the game nearly a decade later, never too late to change mind ✌

                      Apple is a big part of ’Android’ users lives. You guys are all over the articles

A lot of them are clueless about what a cloud storage or server is. Just like in the case of Genshin Cloud. Gamers think the game is still on their phone.
                            Just like how the average phone user thinks the cloud stored items are just right there in their phone storage
                            They only realize to late when disaster strikes but the industry is already beyond going back to the old ways.

                                  And it's very descriptive, not "Large".

                                      So in 2024 Apple are introducing things that Android users have had since 2008...

                                      (Before any fanbois get triggered, I use both platforms myself.)

They kept telling us how iOS is easier to use even back when you can't set a photo as wallpaper from the photos app, or when you had to go through hoops to set your desired audio as ringtone, and you wondered what people that claims it to be easy were snorting. What you could accomplish with less 5 taps on android would take 7+ taps on iOS.
