Wow, USB-C and DDG in the same year? Look at Apple trying to stay relevant π
They didnβt switch to USB-C out of the goodness of their hearts. They switched because the EU passed a new law that requires that new smartphones have USB-C ports.
Apple will never do anything for any other reasons besides: regulation and profit. They try and foster this image of humanitarianism and ethics, but meanwhile they build everything in sweatshops and make their own "standards" so that their loyal customers can only use the functions they need by purchasing additional dongles.
I'm happy that they were forced into an actual standard, but I've already heard at least two apple users IRL claiming that USB-C is inferior for [insert random reasoning here]. Apple has cultivated the idea that they are above standards for a long time and it will take a long time to break.
Apple fanboys are the most frustrating people to talk to.
They find any illogical reason to justify what apple does.
Go on. What does Apple do that is uniquely Apple that fanbois justify?
Was that a typo, or did you intentionally spell fanboys with an I?
Please, it's pronounced 'fan-bwa'.
Intentionally, because Iβm down with the kids, innit?
yea boiiii
You are my example. You see how defensive you got when I criticized apple?
I asked for an example or two. If thatβs your best example of frustrating irrationality-pfft. :)
What about having the ability to sideload apps?
So many people are hard against that even though they are not being forced to use it.
I used to be a jailbreaker, so I'm not against sideloading apps. However, I can see how if its not properly designed, sideloading could make it easier to trick people into installing dodgy executables and malware on their phone. It's not just about that sweet 30% cut.
Pot, meet kettle.
