I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't Android's fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

I haven’t had one myself for a while, really anymore I just see it when watching vids on the flip phones or tablets it seems.

But android gave me the reason to switch (the messy apps) years ago, and apple hasn’t given me a reason to switch back yet.

It very well might be fine now, but until apple does something similar enough to push me to switch again, I won’t know haha.

Im running an android phone from 2016 with android 13 and last week security patches. Smooth as silk, no google, no ads, battery lasts 10h SOT. That's the reason why ill never switch to Apple as daily driver (I have 1 provided by my company)
