I didn’t even say anything all that positive beyond “I prefer using iOS to Android.”
It’s not just Android users or Windows users or whatever though, there’s silly tribalism across the tech world. The idea that having the choice of OSes is good and there’s nothing wrong with preferring one choice over another. I really feel like some people believe there should be some sort of monopoly without realizing that’s what they believe.
Agreed. I have nothing bad to say about Android other than it’s not for everybody. With great power comes great responsibility, and not everyone wants or needs full control of their daily driver. Personally, I prefer the mindless security over full customization on my phone. It’s like trading admin privileges for user.
Re the edit about the XR (I actually meant XS, I keep confusing them) battery, I did that and gave the phone to my daughter. Her phone was on its last legs anyway. I try to keep tech in use as long as I can if possible.
Sorry about that. I thought of it right after. I was hoping to get it in there before you to read it.
That’s a good move for the planet. Apple is very good about recycling materials for reuse, but there’s still energy consumption and some material loss in the process. The longer you can use tech the better it is for everyone.

A while ago there was an article about how Apple is destroying a lot of its phones (old generation) instead of selling them at a low price.
It was also explained that in the facility where it was done a lot of phones were disappearing because employees were stealing them to use them.
So I don’t know if they’re so good about recycling ♻️.
I can’t find the article but it seemed legit.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
