Reply to Former Apple engineers say that Apple still holds a grudge over how Android allegedly copied iOS, and is steadily working to remove Google from the iPhone. by hollyflynn22
Fair so long as it’s done by making better products where the benefit drives people away from the google application. I think that also has to be done in parallel with increasing the types of applications where iOS allowed final native default settings like the browser.

Reply to What makes you choose standard iphone 14 and 14 plus over an android phone within the same price range? by xucai
I used android from its inception until pixel 3. I hated the changes to the OS that Samsung and others did so I mostly only owned a Nexus or Pixel device.
My nexus devices ($500ish) were all generally fine. The three pixel (1, 2 and 3) devices ($1000ish), all paid in cash, all had severe hardware issues within two years.
Additionally, I tried 4 different android watches and they all performed like trash. They didn’t sync details like steps and the experience was clumsy and slow.
So I moved to Apple. Watch is far better and if I’m buying $1000+ phones they better last as long as I choose to own them. Plus Apple has either fixed or improved the reasons I liked android more such as global software defaults.
So why won’t I buy an equivalent android? I have and when you consider the full package, they are not as good of a product an iPhone. Everything has minor things you may not prefer, but all summed up, Apple is a better full package.

Reply to Apple Store Customer Claims Uber Driver Stole Their $2,000 Delivery Order and Apple Won't Offer Refund by StrongInteraction594
Why would an Uber driver steal Ann order like this though? I would think the device is already attached to you meaning it will become a brick and the driver get arrested.
