I never minded iPhone overall. But my recent phone has been a lemon. Also since the iOS 16 update, the phone has been nearly unusable. Thankfully, people actually seem to be speaking speaking out about it. Usually people will never criticize Apple.
I could go on about all my issues with iPhone, but are there actually better options? I had Android about 10 years ago. It was fine, I didn’t really have any issues. Feels like you just get fed up with one platform and move to another one that’s better in some ways but still not great.
I’ve noticed Google products have fallen off a cliff in recent years, too. For smartphones being one of the most talked about ‘triumphs of capitalism’ (bs), capitalism doesn’t seem to make good phones. Actually, they have gotten way worse in recent years.
I have no knowledge of this
I don’t know the details. I heard Ben Norton mention it on a podcast today. I know they arrested the CEO or their daughter? It’s pretty fucked up.
