Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't Android's fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

Seems the other way around works just as well. Say you like an Apple product and attract someone who goes „brainless Apple fanboy“ or „Google does it better because freedom“

No, we don't like Google either.

Oh the Apple hate is much worse than the Apple love.

Lol no one is responding to posts about how much you like a feature with hate, unless you're trolling the wrong community or youre the person in OPs post, saying that in response to someone making a criticism of a corporation's monopolistic behaviour?

Clearly we have been to different parts of the internet, cause that is definitely not what I observed in the past years.

It’s dumb either way. Google and Apple are publicly traded companies and therefore never have the end user as top priority. Satisfying them is just means to please shareholders, their top priority. And if it is not that, then it is pleasing some governing body (e.g. China, India) to expand market access and grow. For the shareholders again.
