I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't Android's fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

No at least you can side loade and install other app stores out of the box with android. It`s far from perfect but still way better.

FDroid for open source apps.

News flash, you can do that on iOS too.

Edit: downvote away, my custom apps on my iPhone run great without jail breaking. Love all the wrong info on Lemmy. Good stuff.

Don't you have to jailbreak to do that

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Nope. You can install any app with developer license. You can also jailbreak. Don’t bother replying to this comment, I’ve read enough brain dead replies already.

Which costs an additional $100/yr for something that's free on any other platform.

[-] thorbot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Naw you can use a service like maplesign for $10

[-] flashgnash@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

With developer license

Doesn't seem fair to pay for the luxury of being able to install your own software

Okay! You’re wrong but that’s alright. I’m running custom apps on my device without jailbreaking.

Yeah, the customs apps, for which you pay a developer license for. Which need to be reinstalled every so often because Apple doesn't want you to use apps like that.

They run so great though /s
