That's great. I'm still gonna avoid everything Apple.
The iPod Touch 7 was great.. but then they decided it didn't actually deserve long term support even though it was the last version they'd be making. So go ahead and come out with an iPod Touch 8, Apple, but I won't be trusting enough to buy it after getting burnt.
iPod touches were great for giving kids a small device without needing a cell connection. You could give them a iPhone without service but they cost way too damn much for that.
Ehhh with eu sideloading, right to repair and generally a good phone it looks like a good deal but i also think full software liberty(you can replace the software on it) is a part of RTR and i dont know if thats ever gonna happen especially with even android phones getting more and more restricted.
Who asked? Use what you like. Nobody cares, this is just a good thing for everyone
You sure didn't, but surprisingly loudly so.
It’s almost like it’s inconsequential which gigantic mega-corporation you give your money to with regards to a smartphone or computer.
I don't like giving money to Google but at least I can flash a free software operative system and I'm not in a golden jail under the tyrannic rule of a corporation.
Good for you! I still don’t see what prompted you to say this though. It’s not really consequential to anyone but yourself.
Are we not allowed to share opinions on Lemmy?
It is on-topic, is it not?
I feel like going on an article about Apple and saying “but I don’t like apple” is a waste of screen real estate honestly. It’s such a pointless and stupid thing to say.
