My last iPhone was an iPhone 4. The app store had just being launched and development was really cool. I used it for 2 years in that 3D printed (working gears) cover. One day, Apple decided to not let me access the raw camera anymore and that was it. I went back on Android and have been here ever since.

I own multiple Macbooks, Mac Minis Mac Pros and use them every day. They are incredibly stable machines for those of us that just want to get work done. These days the iPhone is simply an inferior product. Not only because of the App Store lock-in but also because it's ecosystem has been stuck in time for years. Every time I use one, I have this feeling of going back to 2017. It's bizzare that it sells so well... All hail the power of marketing...

Never enjoyed apple products, but I really don't like their logo. I may be reaching but it reminds me of an old Bible story. Last thing I'd ever choose for a logo

Absolutely --- Apple can and will continue to thrive---it's just one option of hardware and interface among many -- the content, value creation, community, artistry, humor...is global, borderless, international ...and free -- All is well! -- Together WE are Strong -- Bitcoin & Crypto ftw! -- Let's get it!

Ever consider converting one of your MacBooks over to Linux. I did that to an old one and I don't regret it at all.

I did, but I need good hardware that works well with the OS. I used Fedora, Gentoo and Ubuntu for 3 years each before converting to Macs. Maybe I should try again in the future...

This is one of my main reasons for buying a Mac. Have to deal for 10 years in Linux distros and Windows, but between this two Windows is best for get work done.

For the mobiles yep I'll stick with Android.

The mobile phone I used the longest was an iPhone 3GS. Used it for about 5 years. Jailbroken of course which made it really useful.

Jailbreaking got harder and harder with updates.

Since then I've only used #SailfishOS and degoogled Android.

Fun to see people crying about Damus being delisted from the Apple Store for zaps. You get what you signed up for 🤷

Not really in the spirit of open source, those Apple phones.
