This was for the Apple fanboys and they ate it up. It was a joke that some took deeply personal.

Wow- so you insulted people and now you're going "it's just a joke bro!"

I enjoy my rooted phone way to much

Lots of apps like banking apps won't run on rooted phones without jumping through a bunch of hoops and I have to ask- why would the average person care?

I'm an SRE who's done software development, network engineering, and Unix/Linux system administration. I do EDA work for fun and have built my own 8-bit computer from scratch.

Know how many of my Android devices I've rooted? None- because it's so completely unimportant to me. I work with computers all day long- the last thing I want to do when I get home is root my phone.

That's the entire point of this thread. It's always an Apple fanatic shitting on android

Apple fanboys are morons so you're going to be an Android fanboy moron in response? Good lord.

when android is an operating system first off, and their phones have had the features way before Apple ever thought about it. Bezel-less displays, fingerprint scanner under the screen, 4 cameras, etc.

The newest iPhone allows you to send an emergency message via satellite- which Android device has that feature?

And I've had no luck with my under-screen fingerprint reader on my S10. Just cramming things into a phone doesn't mean much if they don't work well. Apple may be slower to add things- but the stuff they release is almost always a lot more complete and functional. Android will release a new API, and then deprecate or significantly revise it once it starts getting used (e.g. Beam). Apple will roll their API out more slowly, but when it does come out, it requires fewer revisions and won't end up being deprecated.

It's literally apples to oranges depending on what you use your phone for.

Yeah, I know, I said that several times. You're the one claiming one is better than the other and insulting people who don't agree with you.
