    They’ll succeed if they keep it up. My Pixel is the buggiest phone I’ve ever had anyway. I hate a lot of the weird little iPhone restrictions but at this point Android is getting irritating. It should be best on the Pixel but it’s not. All this BS trying to kill the open Internet is just a good reason to cut Google out, especially browser wise and device/OS.

      Hey! Try using GrapheneOS! It’s a degoogled version of Android! If I’m not mistaken it uses MicroG (google services, but private and open source) instead of google services! It’s specifically made for Pixels! https://grapheneos.org/ (I never used it personally, as I do not own a pixel, but I’ve only heard good things about it.

      I just made the switch to iPhone about 8/9 months ago from android. I told myself I’d never do it but I did and I have 0 regrets. Just got a MacBook as well and everything just ties together beautifully.

          It’s a better product imo. Also, didn’t go “all in.” I bought a refurbished iPhone 11 and a 2 year old MacBook…and it’s STILL better for me personally. I still own 2 gaming pcs. Maybe something like that doesn’t work for others, but it does for me. Sorry that you’re so upset because of a brand I chose to switch to out of convenience and annoyance with shitty ad loaded Samsung products or PCs that are jam packed with noticeable bloated garbage out the box. And no, I don’t have time to or want to root an android or fuck around with Linux on my computers. Heaven forbid!!! lol fucking neckbeards thinking everyone needs to do what they’re doing. Are you gonna get mad because I drive certain car brand or wear expensive jeans? Find out next on “How to Please a Neckbeard” only on Lemmy at 9/8 central.
