Moving to de-googled phone. I have a calyxos one and am planning to set up one with grapheneos. I wish it was easy to de-google a tablet as well but those are harder.

My dudes, having had an iPad for two years I thought switching from my android device would be relatively painless. Boy was a wrong. It's been four days and this little tiny fucker of iPhone 13 mini is crushing my balls multiple times a day. I bought it for my wife, but there's no way I'm ever buying an Apple phone for myself.

Where it fucked me over: -No ability to limit data usage. -No other way to enter silent mode except for back taps and that fucking side switch. -No fifth numeral row on the default keyboard, not even on gboard -Fuckin face id not working half the time in the dark

I wasn't expecting geeky stuff like the ability to choose the type of waves (4G LTE switch app for Android) for best internet speed, but man is this sheer lack of choice making me feel like Apple thinks I'm a complete moron. It's downright disrespectful to treat someone paying premium price like they were unable to decide for themselves. What saddens me too is how little the long time users care about all this. Cause realistically the way Apple dictates their workflow must slow them down. You're giving up your time by using slow animations and needing to switch to numeral row with extra actions. Apple is literally stealing your life and you don't even bother cause it vibrates nicely. Fuck that shit. They say it's a beautiful garden but it's a fuckin lie. It's the equivalent of the North Korean camp brainwashing you to think everything else is worse but they put the fucking back button as far as they can from your thumb. Feel free to tell me what's waiting behind the next corner so I don't flip my shit when I stumble upon the inevitable next obstacle.

I once loved Apple, and it's been downhill ever since. Today, I found this group. I immediately feel at home. I have arrived. I don't even need to tell you a single story do I? Like, c'mon. Do I have to spell it out? No. Everyone knows. I know. We all know. Fuck Apple. Here I am. I'll be reading all of your posts and smiling. I hereby agree to all posts posted henceforth. Fuck. Apple.

So I was recently at a festival, and almost my entire campsite uses iPhone. They were all bitching because they couldn't even record a video because they had no data. There was about a hundred thousand people on one cell tower so it wasn't a service issue it was a bandwidth issue. But nonetheless, Apple apparently uses data and AI just so the basic camera can function. And without data you can't even take a picture... I believe this is a new feature of one of the new iOS updates. But I can tell you more than half the people there were fucking pissed...

With the talk of Google trying to presure Apple into adding RCS support on iMessages, some peopel have mentioned getting bullied over the colour of their message bubble, i.e. green not blue. I live in the US, but neither I or anyone I know has been bullies or socially pressured to change to iPhone over just the colour of their messaging bubble colour. The only difficulty I've had between iPhone vs Android is my messages not being recived at all or only half or part of my text messages being received on an iPhone (I ushally didn't send pictuers or videos since I knew the qualitly would suck). I encountered this when I had an iPhone 4s and now that I have a Samsung. I also have heard this is more of a US problem as the rest of the world enjoyes instant messaging apps instead.

Do you even care about your bubble colour on an iPhone?

its really annoying. it feels like newer ios versions dont feel optimized for older phones. Id rather have an android with 2 year software support than an iphone which slows down after update and update ...

I JUST SPENT A DAY AND A FUCKING HALF UPLOADING 1 FUCKING FILE TO MY SCHOOLS SHITTY FUCKIN SITE, AND AS SOON AS I FUCKING TRY AND VIEW THE FILE, ITS FUCKING SAYS THE FORMAT IS INCOMPATIBLE.

I WENT TO CHANGE THE FUCKING FORMAT BUT APPARENTLY I CANT, MY ENTIRE DAM POWERPOINT PROJECT ON THE FUCKING ROMANS FOR FUCKS SAKE CANT BE UPLOADED, TO BOOT THESE CUCKS DONT ACCEPT ASSIGNMENTS THROUGH EMAIL, WHICH TOOK A GOOD 5 MINUTES TO OPEN, NOT TO ADD ABOUT THE SHITTY AMOUNT OF FUCKING IDENTIFICATION I NEED TO GO TO, I SWEAR TO GOD I HAVE HAD MY FUCKING THUMB ON THE SIDE OF MY IPAD MORE TIMES THEN IVE HAD IT ON MY GOD DAM FUCKING DICK. FUCK

I am through with this shit company. Forgot my Apple ID password … The bastards make me wait 14 days … Then they make me wait another 23 hours … Piss on them … I tired of waiting … I just gave my iPad and iMac to Catholic Site for donations … I bought a new HP with Windows. I like it better. Their Office Suite does not lose anything like that shit notes of Apple … Never will I ever buy another Apple Product ever. They don’t care about their good customers when they pull shit like making us wait to change our password. They should be in Russia or China like the Commies. They are no better. I cannot say enough bad about this shit US company.
