Is this an Android meme I’m too iOS to understand?
Sort of. I don't remember the specifics, but it used to be that some apps completely unrelated to phone calls had to request access to make phone calls because of some stuff they needed that Google only allowed them access to if they had the phone call permission.
I believe Google has since changed it so most of that stuff is now a separate permission not related to phone calls, so you don't see it as often now. It can still happen with older apps, though.
How quickly the fan boys come to downvote you for being correct. 🤣
"Android bad, they hate us for being right" --iOS users after pointing out the flaws in a satirical meme
You guys are too funny. 🤣
truly I must bow to your superior intellect. iphones have so many more features, like not being able to sideload apps, not being able to use a terminal or actual filesystem, not being able to install browsers that aren't reskins of safari, not being able to use apps that would totally work on my device because Steve jobs thought they looked bad with a different screen size, and strawman arguments about what android was like 10 years ago. iOS is clearly superior and I'm gonna sell my phone today
Oh my gosh! All of those would be super helpful if I actually cared to use them! I don’t need my phone to be a mobile computer. That’s why I have a desktop!
I sideload apps like YouTube that has sponsor block and it also blocks ads, just so I can airplay it to my television. That’s all I need.
Some of us just like a simple device. I don’t need the rest of that. My god dude, it was a fucking joke because androids have always had these weird ass permission requests.
I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but I like the ecosystem. That’s all I need for my use case.
Get a grip, and relax. Take a fucking joke. The way you’re reacting is EXACTLY why I made the god damn joke in the first place. 🤯
I have been using android since 2013 and that was legitimately the last time I saw any such "weird permission request"
which is a fancy way of saying "I hate Apple as much as the next guy, but I still bought all their products"
Ah yes. The two things I own. The watch and the phone. That sure is ALL the Apple products available to buy. You got me all right!
I’m not going to sit here and bicker with your dense ass over something as minuscule as what mobile OS we each prefer.
Pull your head out of your ass, learn to take a fucking joke.
Best wishes to you.
The vast majority of the Android/iOS flamewar is pro Android on fedi (mostly Mastodon for me). I usually don't bother but I thought my comment was at least sort of funny? oh well.
It was funny! These people act like THEIR way is the ONLY way. Not all of us want our phones to be mobile computers with full feature sets. I just want a simple device that has a very nice ecosystem where everything connects and works together 98% of the time. Apple sucks too, who would’ve thought.
