I don’t like this Altman guy I’ve bit. He’s a punk. I think it was a mistake on Apple’s part to partner with him.

Let’s hope they can offer alternatives in the near future.

100% correct.

At the moment there are tons of Ai companies all trying to be The One that everybody will use.

But Google has Gemini and it has Android. Android has 70% market share worldwide and is offering Gemini for free to every user. That’s MASSIVE exposure.

For openai to get on Android the user has to install it as an app. It’s VERY difficult to get your average user to know what openai is and why they should use it, never mind getting them to install the app.

So to be the default Ai on iPhone is a HUGE deal for openAi and gives them massive exposure over the competition.

Google pays Apple billions to Apple to be the default search engine so openAi not having to pay anything is actually very surprising to me.

I think the only reason Apple isn’t making them pay is because Apple plans to offer other Ai services in future.

Exactly. Also memoji on Android would be nice as well as the better emoji content on iPhones…

The bedtime mode on iPhone is also very cool as well as the ability to set your contact photo which other iPhone users will see when they call you.

Plus I think Apple have done a better job with widgets because they look nicer and are stackable.

Imo as an android user, android has been neglected by Google for a while and apart from Samsung no other OEM’s are adding for software to rival Apple.

Which is one of many reasons why I’ll be switching back to iPhone. I see more and better user features being added to iOS.

The only thing Google has done with android lately is Material You, and it’s not as rich as apples customisation. And circle to search is a stupid feature which only benefits Google more than the user.

Exactly. You get it. At the end of the day they are all going to get many of the same features.

They both copy from webOS anyway, at the end of the day. That webOS from Palm was way ahead at the time but lacked the hardware and Carrier support needed to succeed.

I can’t afford a new one so I’m looking at used IPhone’s to get. Because Apple tends to support them for 5+ years, I still should get at least 2 years OS updates with a used one.

I’m thinking iPhone 13 is a good one to get.

Too much fuss about nothing. Samsung just want to be sure that they aren’t getting ripped off on warranty repairs and that they have an accurate idea of the devices repair history. Especially with 4 - 7 years OS support on new models, that phone will likely belong to several owners over the years.

When I worked in Telecoms back in 2005 - 2008, Samsung had the very best repair centres. Out of all the OEM’s their repairs were the fastest and the best quality and if a phone went in for repair more than twice, they would replace it on the third repair with a brand new unit.

Could not say that about Nokia, HTC, Sony Ericsson or Motorola. (There was no iPhone yet in my country at that time)

Did you not see him type into Yahoo who the major shareholders are of the companies in question? And the results? It was very clear.

I saw a documentary recently where they show how virtually all the worlds brands are owned by BlackRock as the largest shareholder.

BlackRock has 4 major shareholders: Rothschild’s, Du Pont, Rockefeller and one other I forgot. Rothschild’s holds the larger share.

The same Rothschilds who boast about creating the state of Israel.

Whatever you use, Apple, Google, Coke, Pepsi, Amazon, Boeing, Airbus, whichever car you can name, they basically own it. And all your money goes to them.

It’s near impossible to escape their grasp. So don’t waste your time unless you self host at home or find truly independent alternatives.

In my experience my default browser is always used, Firefox. And I disabled Chrome.

For anything secure I’d always open it in Firefox and never use the in app browser just in case.

That’s because it’s getting harder to find CD’s plus the majority of people buy digital

I run Linux but only and recommend Firefox. Cross device sync is the best I’ve ever seen, the add ons library is good, you can theme it and it works well for me. Plus there’s no chrome bs on there and the privacy defaults are good.

For search I use Google because it’s still the best. And the others typically just give you Google results anyway. If you want Google results but without the tracking, in theory, look at Startpage.

Not going to happen. The majority of users are tech illiterate. They have no idea to set this up nor any desire to pay domain name fees and web hosting fees…

Only a few techies like us might do it but nothing more than that.

Plus it doesn’t work the way they think. I already have a blog and occasionally post there and share it to social media. All the interaction, if there is any, happens on social, not on my blog.

Blogs are simply a place to post long form content but not designed for massive amount of replies and social interaction.

They should be put out of business and those responsible jailed

Great news. I wish they would also deduct stars if the heating/cooling controls are not physical too.

I never said China was good either. I just said Apple are being jackasses.

Newsflash: there is no such thing as a good government or politician. They are typically all scumbags.

Seems Apple is following in their footsteps

I didn’t say China was bad. I said Apple was bad.

And you can make a very good Android phone with AOSP. You won’t have Google services but you could make your own app store like Huawei and Samsung have.

Many of these companies still exist but do other things. The biggest open source successful project is Servers - much servers run Linux. After that the next most successful open source is Android - the best selling mobile OS on the planet. That’s really my friend…

Are you on drugs or something bro? I don’t hate anyone. If anything I feel sorry for apple customers because they are being abused and don’t even know it.

You should read up on Richard Stallman and the ideas of Libre Software/Free Open Source Software.

Then you will understand how bad Apple really is towards its users and why everyone should be using Linux and open source software.

Lol. Apple is at the HEART of communism and NWO. It is BIG BROTHER. That’s why their devices are locked down - to lock you in…

Don’t forget Apple complied with Chinese Communist government to give them access to users iCloud accounts and also banned apps Chinese government doesn’t like. Meanwhile Google is still banned in china because they refused to censor the internet.

Plus on android I don’t have to log into anything Google and can install open source apps to me hearts delight, with zero spyware or even install a different OS. Can’t do that with apple stuff.

Rethink your world view.
