i think the iphone is on its way out tbh, like its had its hay day, its stagnant now

yeah it kinda scares me though

google will then have a monopoly on mobile OS too

Apple would get so much more clout if they opened up to more cosmetic customization. Like its hilarious how pointless they locked it down, can't even change the icons or animations

nah

complete disagree

Not to mention they are not wanting other outside sources repairing apple products.

I just dont get why they dont let you have gaps on the home menu

well its not really a monopoly if its open source like

but it's not

base android is

but the version that ships with all the phones aint

like its just linux

Can't change your keyboard, can't order your apps as freely, its dumb

Google Services

🤢

I don’t think customisation drives sales tbh. The premium price point puts more people off.

^

Dont most Phone manufactuors make they own closed source version of android

and muck it up lol

Kai OS

then dont update it

for real when i think about the future at nights i picture a dystopian cyberpunk like world where google rose to world dominance through capitalism

i just don't like how much control of information google has

yea the iphone was basically just a goldilocks effect market manipulation, selling an average device at twice the markup

That is true I suppose, iphones were always "premium" first but now they are too much so, it just wouldn't hurt attracting a different userbase to it.

Like 99% of the stuff I jailbroke my old phone for was for cosmetic stuff

problem also is that iphone's have never been more popular

but people aren't upgrading anymore

iphone 6S is still fine

that the bendy one?

that's why they are pushing their subscriptions so much now

cause the new phones are basically just the same

they are rumoured to be starting a netflix competitor soon

and why they're pushing airpods etc

Who apple?

We have sorta hit the point where all phones are capping out, like they are filling it with gimmicks like pressure touch and measuring

apple are like the EA sports of phone tech

yeah @CheekyOGNutZach
