This but unironically. Can’t remember one time when I needed or even thought about using a cable in my iPhone tenure.

Yes but 99.9% of users don’t care about any of that, that’s what others were saying in this conversation.

Just to bring my personal pov: I’m a tech guy and I couldn’t care less about any of those features. My phone is an appliance like my dishwasher, i only need it to do well the few things it does for me and the iPhone does them incredibly well. Productivity work and fun is done on real computers. I don’t care if android phones can purr or do somersaults.

If you like to do complicated stuff on your phone then those things matter to you and you will deem iOS inferior, and that’s fine. But realise you are planets away from the average user.

You are technically correct (I know) but I would argue that distros that come with a certain DE usually have their experience built into it. Sure you can install gnome in kde neon but don’t expect anything to work, if it does it’s mostly by accident.

This is true for distros that cater to “simple” users that want to install and be productive of course, not for those like Debian or arch which cater to users who want to build their own experience.

Apple and wait for Asahi Linux to finish their driver support 🫠 don’t know what to tell you man.

I have never tried framework laptops - maybe they’re glorious, maybe they’re junk - but of all the laptops I tried Apple are the only decent ones hardware-wise (and software-wise too if you like osx).

I don’t know who else makes decent laptops nowadays, but Lenovo isn’t it, and most likely won’t be.

Good luck hoping for anything about Lenovo, they’ve gone down and down the shitter ever since they “split” from IBM.

No I don’t own a framework nor plan to do so, I’m just an average IT guy who is forced to choose between Lenovo and Mac to work, and after the third garbage laptop in a row bit the bullet and got the Mac. I also own an x200 and a t430 that i was in love with - nothing to do with the present day latrines masquerading as computers.

Screw Lenovo really. Hope for some decent competition to framework (I hope for that too, they are currently the only ones in that niche) but don’t hope for it from them.

I can understand smuggled hardware, but it’s not like Russians can buy their localized App Store in India.. it would be much more helpful if they weren’t running it there, as the smuggled iPhones would be just bricks

Wait apple is still operating in Russia? Weren’t we sanctioning them or something?

Fam, corsicans are the only ones who hate French more than us, they are welcome to rejoin Italy whenever they want.

So I get rid of the land border with France, but in exchange I get a land border with USA - possibly the only worse country.

Also we lose Sicily and their awesome food and women but we get to keep Sardinia, where the best food is cheese with worms and the best women are one meter tall with moustache.

Bad deal man.
