Spotify shuffle algorithm is hot garbage. It’s like it shuffles anytime a song is added to a playlist but that shuffle order persists. Anytime I played something it would play the exact same order. That was like 2 years ago. I’ve not bothered with it since Apple Music.

I love when these popup and android die hards talk about Apple users as cultists as they say it is disturbing that anyone would want to use an Apple product. It’s like a knee jerk response.

I’ve used all the phone OSs and I’m pretty tied into Apple at this point but i hardly see anyone who really gives a shit. Like find better people to hang with or get yourself a different personality trait besides a phone smh.

Apple didn’t recommend it. An employee who has to deal with this daily recommended it to make their job easier. Apple will never officially say yeah smash yo phones

Damages phone by self.

Complains at Apple for own cosmetic damage.

Don’t be a Karen.

There’s definitely poorly made third party ones out there that haven’t even worked for me out of the box. I basically don’t gamble with anything. It’s anker or 1st party

Can confirm I can actually… ahem “do something” with my phones. I can’t customize trivial things but it’s a productivity workhorse.

Google could at any time work on enabling push for iOS devices. Of course then you won’t download their apps specifically. Exchange based accounts do not have limitations regarding push services from accounts though.

You can technically share photos but you’d be generating a public link that automatically expires or a shared album that can be accessed by anyone with the link. So definitely if Google photos works better for you, use that.

I don’t find Siri restrictive. I find it intentional and even more important…customizable with shortcuts. Saves me hours a week to perform workflows I create between iOS and macOS.

I can’t really speak to the rest because they either don’t apply to me personally or I think of them as extremely trivial.

So yes, can’t change a bunch of silly things at all or as easily like text, icons, and layouts, or put potentially dicey apps on it…. But I can manage my life far easier on iOS vs the Wild Wild West of Android experiences. And that’s a win for me, I don’t have time to play with phones anymore🤷‍♂️. Came from Android after maybe 10 years, and not planning to go back anytime soon.

But the real reason? Apple designs and releases things intentionally so i know what I’m getting and it’s reliable for a long time. Android is not as reliable. Many makers have come and gone and users have to keep learning a new UI, Google is on their second line of products, Samsung is the leader of the pack but they allow bloat and tie you to a very pointless App Store, others are just very bad on release schedules and pushing updates.

I think the real lack of originality are these types of posts 🙄.

Tl;dr: pixel “won” out by a small margin. In almost all cases it produced an unnaturally processed image. It was not hard to guess which was pixel vs iPhone. They must’ve really tested blind people.
