The walls of Apple’s garden are tumbling down

Since the very first iPhone, the walls of Apple’s meticulously manicured garden have grown ever higher. Now, they’re starting to crumble.

Apple has a vested interest in keeping us believing that the brand name on your phone matters.

IMO, it's entirely because of apple that it does matter - do I want the one brand that's a locked down proprietary POS and ties me to an ecosystem of a company I want nothing to do with, has a UI that still feels straight out of 2010 (still no haptic feedback? come on... or the desktop cluttered with more icons than a boomer's WinXP box...), etc or do I want a normal phone that does what I expect it to?

What do you mean by iOS having “no haptic feedback”? There’s quite a bit: long pressing anything, keyboard clicks, volume up/down, unlocking, spinning a dial, etc.

@dawica @verge Last time I tried typing on someone's ipad it didn't have any feedback. Is it just off by default?

@SiteRelEnby @verge iPads don’t have vibration motors, so they don’t have haptic feedback. iPhones have had haptic feedback on the keyboard since iOS 16 or 17. I think it’s on by default, but I’m not positive
