Apple is for people who don't know anything or could care less about technology that want something that just works without much deliberation.

Not really, it's for people who are highly susceptible to branding

Burgers buy apple because we don't know how to use Whatsapp so if you don't have an Apple your texts are marked with incel green.

That's the thing, android users are spoilt for choice and customisation, Apple is the closest thing to standardisation.

I don't think adware, iOS envy and an approval requirement for unlocking the bootloader are what I'd call "mogging."

You don't have to do anything to get android to work out of the box though, but fair enough that some normies do seem to think it's 'more complicated' for some reason

Then why do tech YouTubers shill iPhones so much? Clearly iPhones are also very overhyped by the ignorant youth.

>>27122
Precisely. Galaxy mobile devices are even more user-friendly than iPhones, I love One UI so much. And I'm a long-time custom ROM user.

>>27120
Yeah I have a Xiaomi and it's absolutely appalling how much adware and bloat there is packed into this product I paid for

all proprietards are shit
but apple is a special class of shit that i avoid in every way. everything about it is so hostile to user freedom. the overpricing, the glossy screens that drive you mad reflecting everything in the back, the lack of usable connectors/ports, the locked down OS that barely allows any configuration, the calculator keys for the laptop keyboard, the incredibly short charger cables, the lock-in (hard to run dual boot linux on apple pcs).
just everything about it is so anti-user, and then you have their captive audience that literally overpaid for shit products in the 90s just so that their beloved company wouldn't go out of business.

I got my first samsung 2 months ago and its not that much better than my moto g tbh. Motorola has a better side panel feature and gaming mode

There are many good-quality Android devices but the only interfaces that can rival One UI are Sailfish OS and sxmo imho. And that's 'cause I haven't yet tried those.

>>27115
yes. we are aware that people that have no idea what they are buying are being taken advantage of by Apple. that is why people try so hard to tell them android phones are better.

android phones do more, and cost less. the average consumer that is a brain dead idiot that knows nothing about phones would be better off buying a $200 android that does indeed Just Work.

The best phone I ever had was a huawei P20 demonstrating that whatever the despotic chaebols of worst korea can force their subjects to do, the chinese can copy and make better everytime
