Also add Liquid Glass, it strains the eyes. Even siri got worse, when I say call now it does some location based search, and calls sonebody, when near home it is a doctor, when on the other side of the river it is a flower shop, at othe rplaces other random non-contacts, with a contact having the sting it used for search, as her nickname is always part of the called person… It used to work flawlessly as expected… I w…
I’m not sure if gitfriend is a typo. I’m lonely and really want a gitfriend to push and merge with! Please tell the story of how you got one! /s for the /s impaired
I'm afraid of commits.

#123Android: Here's the phone; knock yourself out Apple: Father knows best (but Father is getting old and sometimes forgets things) Windows: If only we understood what the ancestors knew
Android is more "here's a pocket panopticon we hope you won't unconfigure" Apple is more "here's this refined product which we designated as refined after a heavy session snooting cocaine off a toilet seat"
To be fair my iPhone spys on me in much more actively creepy ways than my android ever did. Showing ads for nearby pizza places at lunchtime on the homescreen. Telling me at about the time of my son's soccer that I may be interested in going to the place where his soccer is about now (despite me never using navigation on my phone) etc

Their software quality really went downhill in recent years, really hope whoever comes in after Cook treats it as priority
I'm getting a strong feeling that the first generation of really, really talented people who built iOS in the 2000s have now to a substantial degree moved on/retired. Similar feeling with OS X/macOS. Please correct me if I'm wrong - it is after all just a feeling.
I have this feeling for every software out there.

#125As a lifelong Android user (in the EU, where Apple hegemony is not as strong) I always saw Apple as the "pay more for more polished ecosystem UX" option. So it always surprises me when things that are trivial on Android/Linux are sticking points on iOS/macOS. Worse, it seems that proprietary means you can't do anything to fix them yourself.
And to be clear 'do anything to fix them yourself' is as simple as install a third-party keyboard from the official Play Store, if you had such an issue as this with the default 'GBoard'.
You can install third-party keyboards on iOS too, I'm not sure why that's not considered an option in this case.

#126I agree that this behavior is insane and should be fixed. Do however note that it is possible to install another keyboard on iOS, which may alleviate your suffering before you switch to Android in about 120 days. Personally I rely on Gboard [0] every day for the simple reason that it auto-detects several (more than two) languages, and of course it has the added benefit of not having this crazy bug. Gboard is google s…
Gboard is a lot better than the native keyboard. Strange that OP is going to such lengths to complain when iOS supports other keyboards.
The main benefit I've found with Gboard is a larger vocabulary, and perhaps a less aggressive autocorrect that doesn't constantly try to correct technical terms into similar common words.

#127>i'm weak >I caved to the blue bubble pressure This is basically how I view iphone users. They buy an inferior product because Apple exploited their lack of status. From moms, to teens, to low-middle income people... Heck, its even infected some perpetually single techies who are so insecure they buy the inferior Apple product. These companies that exploit such psychology is disgusting. From Apple to Nintendo to Disn…
I switched to iPhone for battery life. Additionally, Apple isn’t an advertising company like Google. However, I agree that Apple should cooperate with Google on messaging. Signal is so much better, but it’s hard to get people to switch.
> Additionally, Apple isn’t an advertising company like Google.
What does "advertising company" mean? Apple does in-fact sell advertisements[0], and relies very heavily on marketing to convey their value proposition.

I’m honestly not sure which is more dystopian: the American blue/green bubble divide, or the situation in Spain where my doctor sends blood test results over WhatsApp, delivery drivers call me on WhatsApp, and couriers ask me to share my live location because they can’t find my building. Nearly all day-to-day communication is funnelled through a single Meta-owned channel.
I think the least dystopian is a semi-government owned app, like WeChat in china. iMessage is also controlled by a private company, and by my estimate, one of the most evil ones. Apple and Google are the two companies most complicit in feeding highly addictive and exploitative gambling apps to kids via their app stores, and they both profit massively off of it via 30% cuts.
The least dystopian communication is email. Plenty secure, you are able to set-up your own server, you can communicate with everyone regardless of their OS or client. Rich text, photo support, video support. Open protocols.
A sort of email but then for short messages would be awesome.

#129> orange iPhone was pretty and the Pixel 10 was boring I guess this is really important to people. One time I broke an Android, which happened to be white, and spoke to the insurer for a replacement. The agent insisted she find me another white phone, not another Android, and though an iPhone was suitable. She couldn't grok how the OS and phone specs were more important than the color.
Right? Most people encase it in an opaque phone case anyway.

#130I thought they fixed the bug where autocorrect would add text but repeat one word in the middle so it would look like: “I’m trytrying to”
Been an issue for two years or so. Resetting, all that doesn’t help.
