RCS, I suppose, so we can stop hearing about it.

Chat bubble classism/racism is unacceptable

TIL that Android phone users are a new racial category.

(Not sure if sarcasm)

Android phones are cheaper upfront that then leads to the people of colour often using them in the global south

Literally nobody cares what colour your bubbles are.

What is annoying is how group chats suck when people on android are involved.

I’m mostly looking forward to that being fixed

You a teen in the US?

Saw a teen tell Tim Cook kids in his school were being bullied over not necessarily one hue vs. another shade but presumably the degraded functionality (simplified as “green bubbles”).

Group chats are so huge - and including one non-Apple user means nobody gets bells & whistles.

It’s absolutely ridiculous! But it’s hard to argue - it’s happening, making less money would stop it, but money matters more than kids.

Oh get off it. This is “video games cause school shootings” levels of wrongness

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I just don’t think you and I are the people who see this stuff.

When it comes to video games and violence, you have to try - try to draw lines.

What kind of line needs to be drawn to deduce “who’s green?” is related to a feature?

Auto sorting in Mail, to be honest.

No mention of the calculator app on iPadOS smh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Because this is the ios screen and there is a seperate one for iPadOS? Or am I missing the joke?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Locked apps! All the porn, and all the incriminating evidence of my affair. Thank u Tim Apple! Very cool.

Jealous partners and judgmental family are going to have a harder time.

I dont really care about any of this crap. Let me install my own internet browsers, fix the poor keyboard hit boxes, let me build my own predictive text library...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

iOS devices would be actually good if they literally just let you install .ipa s from anywhere (.apk equivelent for iOS). Not even unlocking the APIs that ensure Apple apps stay on top, just allowing .ipa installation.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 10 months ago

They would be android devices, then.

So no. They wouldn't be good.
