OF COURSE this doesn’t apply to the UK, giving me yet another reason to wish kidney stones upon the architects of Brexit.
I'm pretty sure the haunted Victorian pencil that is Jacob Rees-Mogg said that the UK not having universal USB-C was a "Brexit benefit". God help us all.
Yeah but he only says that sort of thing because he thinks that anything to electronic is voodoo magic.
It is a benefit though.
For the corporations that want to force users to buy their proprietary cables. To them it is a gold mine!
....THE ARISTOCRATS!
did i do it right?
“So there’s this family of Tories, right, and they walk into a theatre…”
I mean, I'm sure they sell Android phones in the UK. Why do you buy Apple products if you are aware of their monopolistic practices that have to be battled with legislation?
not OP, but for me, using an iPhone and wishing it had a few features android had feels a lot better than using android and wishing it had features iOS does. It’s not like they both don’t participate in monopolistic practices
The fuck would I want to actively give all that data to Google for?
Also, I’ve blagged a couple of fairly old Samsung tablets to use at work, and they’re absolute shit to set up when compared to an iPad. There’s all the stock Google apps, and all the stock Samsung apps that offer the same fucking features, and they keep bugging you to set them up.
Nah mate, fuck using Android. All power to those who do, but it’s not my bag.
it's funny how you think that Apple isn't recollecting your data. It seems like their marketing is effective.

Can't argue with that, Samsung is absolute shit. Never used a tablet tho, so I can't comment on that.
The nicest part of Android is that it's open source and therefore the community makes Android builds that aren't plagued with spyware or any corporate bullshit.
I have been looking at alternatives to Android, but the range of hardware that supports it is currently fairly limited.

Heard of GrapheneOS on the Pixel line? "GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS with Android app compatibility developed as a non-profit open source project." https://grapheneos.org/

Samsung is not the best manufacturer, plus you said old. Either one is bad, but that's a terrible combo. And all the Google apps and OEM bloatware is fixed (gone) with a deGoogled OS like Graphene's.
