Why pay netflix when it still has ads so yea its im just doing this. Plus why make it so easy to get these things if its ILLEGAL makes no sense.

    App name APK just ban the use of the word APK after anything and only allow it alone or make the AI know that your searching for info on what it means and not to get the app. But oh well i guess they didnt think of that.

        BrianCoriour, 16 Sep 2024I never had issues with google. So im good on android.You must never have rooted an Android device before.. it is hell (at least with American phones). Ever since the death of Xposed Android customization has been completely locked down to only allow home launchers and icon packs, its so sad. At least when you jailbreak an iOS device you get to still customize every single UI of the device.

On iOS they use the ipa file extension instead of apk. If you want any hacked app you just search its name and ipa after it like you would android and apk..

                Now we just need Apple to release the new iPad Mini.
                And do it with a substantial upgrade. Like go with an M1 Processor, it is old enough to NOT compete with the larger iPad Air M2 and the expensive iPad Pro M4 tablets.

                If they go with an Apple-A processor, I don't think it will be fast enough.
                Maybe the latest A18 Pro would be competitive with the M1. But a downclocked A18, A17, or A16 are not going to be competitive in the market. At that point I would just get a Samsung Tablet, or better an AYN Odin2, or even better a Valve SteamDeck OLED.

                But I would really would like to have an iOS Device, ie, iPad Mini with the GameSir G8 controller, and with the new restrictions be able to run emulators on it. If the hardware is beefy enough we could expect upto Wii, Xbox, PS Vita, and maybe Windows Xp emulation on the go.

Free youtube = youtube++, free spotify = spotify++, free movies and tv you dont even need to sideload just use showbox.media or sideload torrent dowloaders or kodi. iOS has the most abundant and best quality third party app stores, it is why I moved to iOS full time back when Sideloading pokemon go with gps spoof was big. iOS was far easier than fighting google's magisk war.

                        Anonymous, 15 Sep 2024The advantages of the iPhone are only 2 Chipsets and IOSAren't those pretty huge? Their battery life has also been spectacular on batteries that are on the smaller capacity. They are also consistently among best cameras and especially with video recording.

                        Really the only huge downside are 60Hz displays on vanilla models. 60Hz displays on +900€ phones is just absolutely unforgivable.

                            Whatevs, 15 Sep 2024LOL. iPhone has been that way since 2007. Why react in 2023... moreNo, because words have never motivated corporations to change their behavior. Slapping them with huge fines is the ONLY method that works. It's why the money is involved. And reason for it is that Apple has literally NO reasoning behind demanding a cut from apps where accounts are, were and can be created outside their App Store. There is still a large amount of users that do it through App Store, but greedy Apple doesn't want just "some", they want ALL of it. And THAT is the problem.

                            It's why I never had problems with Steam for example. They don't care how you bought the game, even if it was from external source or the author itself and you just activate the key on the platform. They know you'll prefer their store to buy as is and that's good enough for them. Unlike Apple that just relentlessly wants even more money no matter how. Don't get me wrong, I like Apple and they do many things right, but they also do so many things so wrong and this is one of them.

                              This is a welcome decision IMO. Apple is so greedy that it is currently allowing extensions for only their own Safari browser which are crap add ons. Firefox and Chrome have brilliant addon support that needs to come to ipadOS in order to improve user experience. Third party extensions like uBlock origin or noscript can do wonders. I seriously doubt though that Apple will allow it fully knowing how cunning they are.

                                    Ok but can they get free youtube premium, free spotify premium and free movie and tv show apps and free games by pirating them and so on and emulators. Or just bs apps like NOW YOU CAN FINALLY HAVE THIS MAP APP INSTEAD OF APPLE MAP, NOW YOU CAN HAVE GOOGLE INSTEAD OF SIRI. You know useless shit like that. Unless the google app allows download from there like any other app ? I need answers cuz ANDROID and any other PC OS is superior over apple trash os.

                                        Can’t wait to delete Safari and all the other baked in apps that previously couldn’t be removed from iOS and install a proper non WebKit browser. Would love to also install older versions or roll back apps which you can do with Android since the dawn of time!
