L4sBotApple hit with class action lawsuit over iCloud's 5GB limit
macattackSometimes it’s hard to feel sorry for Apple users given the amount of abuse they go through yet make excuses for (as seen in the comments). Definitely shades of battered woman syndrome
cosmic_slateOn the other hand, the phone just works, upgrades between devices are seamless, and the phone retains value after 4 years.
Plus, the backup restoration is insane. If you stole my phone, I’d be back to where I was within an hour or two (most of which is driving to Apple and waiting on a sales clerk to pull an iPhone from the back).
5GB is a lame amount for a base tier of storage in 2024 but it’s hardly abuse.
Apple makes my life as the family sysadmin significantly easier. If I only had to worry about myself I’d do Android with a privacy focused ROM, but I doubt I could handle my entire family doing that. No way am I putting them on stock Android.
It would be nice if there was some competition but I’m not holding my breath.
Why would you only use a privacy focused ROM and not stock Android, when you use a stock iPhone? Do you think that Apple doesn’t collect just as much data on you as Android does? It’s literally in the Apple terms of service. They’ve just conned you into believing their marketing BS.
Did you not read my post? I use Apple because it makes managing my family fleet easier. If I were by myself I would use a privacy focused ROM.
Ok, so you were saying you prefer a privacy focused OS but settle for iOS because it’s simpler. Fair point.
As far as data collection goes, Google isn’t selling it either. Apple and Google are both collecting your data to assign you to certain demographics. They then sell ad space, and the people that purchase those ads can select the demographic they want it to go to. It’s not ideal, but it’s certainly better than them selling your actual personal data to third parties.
