    I can’t imagine the thundering applause the mindless morons will erupt into when Tim Cook announces on stage that you’ll be able to customize your home screen.

    iPhones are super popular…? What a fucking joke

      It’s not the applause of awe, it’s the applause of “fucking finally.”

      Same thing happens after Google events. The last big feature that made everyone lose their shit was Google deciding to actually update their phones for more than a couple years. Shitty update support has been something iOS users have mocked Android about for a many many years.

      There are other examples, but the point is that both ecosystems have reached the point where they’re just cloning each other 90% of the time.

        Not really, android typically has software features 5+ years in advance of iphone. Most of the “cloning” was done in the first couple years smartphones existed.

          I feel like I know how this thread ends. It’s happened before and it will happen again.

          Two folks go tit for tat and list out features that each brand clones from each other during their last event, and the events before that.

          In the end we both lose for spending the evening arguing about two operating systems that we’re both using for the same exact shit posting.

          I walk about three or four miles a day and now that it’s spring I’m gardening most days too.

            Ok I walk about 7 miles a day and when the weather is nice that’s mostly outdoors. So yeah I don’t need to “touch grass” since I already do.

                You’re defending apple on the Internet and recommending therapy to a stranger based on a sentence so I don’t think I’d get too high and mighty.

                  I didn’t defend, let alone mention Apple? You’re calling people morons and making up little scenarios to make yourself mad, all for a phone you don’t even use. No ones high or mighty, you just obviously seem like you’d benefit from talking to someone.

                    What a helpful suggestion. I’ll get right on that after I tell my boss I no longer have to test on piece of shit iPhone because someone with a username that sounds like a death sound said so. I’ll be sure and tell my therapist that I’ve imagined years of wwdc steams because again, neck gurgle says so.

                    Any more stunning, totally non condescending and non simping insights for me?
