Despite the market domination of Apple's iOS

Since when?

The register is out of the UK and the bulk of their readership is in the US, in both places apple has above 50% market share.

Thx. I didn't knew it was that bad

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Some people think it's a status symbol, but most people don't care. But yeah it's above 50 percent now and climbing (in the US).

I have both from time to time. I wish there was a viable 3rd party than picking our favorite multi-billion dollar company, but as a developer, I need both.

It is over 80% if you only look at the youth

True. Apple is straight up dystopia.

I mean, do we have viable alternative? Like every popular brand is from similar tech megacorps.

Despite the market domination of Apple's iOS and the legions of Android devices out there, there are alternatives in the smartphone market...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
