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

If it raises the cost of apple music I’m out

nah they won't

unless spotify does it

they have a loyal core that will buy literally anything, even if its the same thing renamed

Seriously there is no reason for me to upgrade my s8

Speaking of ea, looks like to nobody’s surprise their new game is flopping already

there's a reason every music streaming service costs the same lol

I hate the idea of those airpods

Lmao

airpods are actually 100% worth the money imo

The s10 ia just a partial upgrade now.
