I recently decided to jailbreak my ipod touch. The options are so fucking sketch it felt extremely gross. And thats coming from an android user. You know you are in best hands if the jailbreaking software link their mixtape.

I used an apple phone for the first time at work, they gave us apple phones.

I was blown away when I realized you can't just dump any old file on it, because I'm used to plugging in my android phone and throwing on some files like it's any other removable storage. Not so with apple phones, incredibly limited.

See, I used to flash firmware for copy machines from my phone. Like if I went out to a site and didn't prepare firmware before going I could just download it on my phone and flash from that.

The apple phone couldn't do a bunch of stuff that I always thought was standard smartphone things. Also couldn't display cell and wifi reception in decibels, and I used to do informal site surveys with my phone. Nope, apple can't do that either, "bars" aren't a good metric to wrote down.

That thing was about damn useless except to be used as a phone and an mp3 player.

Backwards compatibility is a double-edged sword. It's cool that you can run an apk from 10 years ago but there should be a point where you say that's enough and drop support from them. Looking at Windows.

Yeah Android CAN run the app if you have the APK. But also the play store won't let you if the dev hasn't updated the app in a couple of years. Older games are especially bad.

This just isn't true; Android absolutely has version limits.

most of the time? yes.

some apps do actually break with newer android versions though. It's gotten a little better and happened less often after the big step to Android 4 (okay… that is itself more than 10 years ago)

but it can and does still happen sometimes

Android and iOS are both abysmal.

but, muh securitah!

Everybody used a blackberry once... Being loyal to a brand gets you left behind.

I use both. IOS on my iPad and Android on my Phone
