Other than blue bubbles, why do you use iPhone? (lemmy.world)

Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

Google doesn’t have vision or taste in my opinion. They released a million messaging apps and STILL haven’t made a decent one. Its been how many years and they still use SMS on most androids and people have to rely on whatsapp, a Fcaebook app… now they’re releasing their new “standard” RCS which has competing versions some with end to end encryption by default and some without.

They STILL don’t have a FaceTime alternative unless you use whatsapp…

Google knows how to show ads and everything else has so little passion and vision i dont trust any of their services because they love to kill their products

I don't even use any Apple products, but I still gotta agree with all this.

How they didn't do an iMessage style client better than Apple given the fact Hangouts was right there and superior in every way for so long is just.... bleh.

Google is losing it. Android is losing more nerd functionality and just copying iOS... but poorly. YouTube Music was better as Google Play Music. "Chats" was better as Hangouts. Where Google Fi at? Where Google Fibre gone? How's Google+ going?

Even their search results are mostly spam now.
