“OMG, I have an iPhone!” Yeah, you have an iPhone, so what? You’re the best? You can FaceTime your friends, despite you and your friends probably having, like, 7 other apps to do so? And no UI customizability or jailbreaking?

I’m just unable to understand the Apple/iOS hype. It makes my eyes roll. I’m content with my Samsung and Android, thanks.

I'm definitely missing a 3rd option. I've been an android user from the start and I'm pretty well convinced at this point that it is simply not capable of providing the sort of user experience I want.

I'll try a pinephone pro, some day. GNOME has potential on mobile.

I do miss my Passport. BBOS10 had the UX down, but lack of apps and general boneheadedness at BB killed it.

But yeah, apple users. Sending me unwatchable videos because iMessage is so precious it can only run on the blessed hardware. Apple can pound sand up their anticompetitive ass.

Android is the worst mobile OS, except all the others. It's becoming worse and worse due to Google removing features for "security", changing the UI on every release, and new features being tied to Google Play Services or Google apps.
