    Not having a functioning browser. And no, it’s not Chrome. Why would you want to use an ads pushing piece of garbage?

    More expensive. Less (no?) emulator support. Inertia. Don’t care for apple interfaces or ecosystem much.

    I’ve owned apple devices in the past. The thing I hate most is the ecosystem, it’s so limited and simple to the point of frustration. They are missing basic features and customization options. Apple has the worst settings menu of any device I’ve ever used. If that wasn’t bad enough the devices are incredibly over priced.

    Battery life. Forced ecosystem. Lack of options. Apple watches suck. I love my s pen. I can watch YouTube for free with no ads. The refusal to integrate the messaging system compatibility. How they refused to move to usb-c until they were literally forced to by Europe. Spearheading the removal of audio Jack’s and micro USB slots.

    I dislike Apple as a company. I’m still miffed that Bill Gates bailed Apple out and saved them from bankruptcy in the 1990’s. All he asked was that they would be more charitable if they got back on their feet. They obviously did that, but then proceeded to continue being one of the least charitable companies in the fortune 100.

    Then there was the crap with forcing an update to underclock their iPhones in order to hide hardware issues causing reboots from their still under warranty batteries failing to provide enough voltage to supply the apu. Or the time when they told customers they were holding their phones wrong when they designed the antennas in a way that would kill their reception if part of your hand was on the side of the phone.

      It worked out well for Microsoft since Apple dropped their lawsuit over QuickTime code that made it into Windows via an Intel contractor.

      RCS is in iOS 18, but “integrate the messaging system compatibility” really means “use Google’s RCS”.

        I think you need to look up where rcs came from and why it was the adopted standard agreed to by most everyone, because Google had pretty much jack all to do with it.

      All of that I feel you on these points, but it seems like the iPhone nowadays has better battery life than a lot of phones. Not all of them obviously, but a fair amount.

    The biggest issue is Apple and their closed ecosystem. I can modify, remove, or disable most of the apps and settings I don’t like on an Android phone. I can even load a different OS if I want. With Apple most of that isn’t even possible.

    I wouldn’t buy a car that could only drive on roads approved by the maker, so same goes for phone.

    iOS is trash. Simple as that, my parents have iPhones and I’m like ‘oh you can just do X’, then I go to look, get lost in menus, then find out the basic feature doesnt even exist. I can’t sideload apps, I can’t customise my UI, it’s just incredibly limiting. iPhones are good for calls, if you wanna do anything else you are better off with an Android.

      User error

      In all seriousness, the biggest benefit of apple products is that the user experience just does not change over time. They are very conservative with the changes they do make, even though they will hype them up as the next big revolution in computing. It just seems arcane to you because you aren’t used to it. Apple is great for old people because things stay the same forever

      Edit: I reread your comment and realized I completely misunderstood you. Yeah, apple is super behind and is lacking basic features for the reason I just mentioned. For a while you couldn’t even copy/paste on the iPhone. Really dumb imho. But the good thing is that things look the same forever, so you never have to be confused by your phone’s layout changing when you get a new phone.
