Apple Ecosystem

@iupdate Apple fanboys have iMessage and yet the irony is that they are so disconnected from the world.

@uskarimah46 Until it's not affecting your usability, I'd say leave it on. Though if it's scratched or damaged, then replace it.

@ecosystem_apple if I have been using a MacBook screen protector for a year, which one is better? take it off or leave it installed?

@immasiddtweets Then there will be some saying that you should let the apps choose their brand identity and colors and designs. Have heard this argument used against Material U. Neither approach is bad, just prefer the iOS here.

The continuity in UI design is so good on iOS! I want to see this on Android.

@DanielCR93 @LB_BurtonSr @HeyDudeJude It's not Apple's fault but Apple is certainly part of it. People are just people. Apple can resolve this but they chose not to, for making more money. If Apple were struggling to make money, it would make sense but at this point they are just doing it to create a divide.

@LB_BurtonSr @ecosystem_apple @HeyDudeJude The convincing is not apples fault, it’s most likely your circle, here in asia for example we use line iMessages or WhatsApp are not even a thing

Let's be clear... Android users are NOT asking for iMessage. They are simply asking for the opportunity to be able to communicate freely. Apple can keep 90% of their specialized iMessage features and Android users would care less. What Android users want to be able to do is communicate freely without a broken experience. Hopefully the forced RCS integration will give the liberties that are wanted.

@LB_BurtonSr @HeyDudeJude Hopefully with RCS it won't. But in the current state you are forced to use third party alternatives, you can convince a few people, not everyone. Communication devices being limited and needing third party "helpers" to communicate well. Doesn't sound right.

@ecosystem_apple @HeyDudeJude How doed cross communication hamper the Apple experience?

@HeyDudeJude @LB_BurtonSr Should businesses be allowed to do anything just for the sake of making money?? Even if it hampers the experience of their users and others. Not everything has to be forced by law, some things just need common sense and some decency.

@LB_BurtonSr How can they not communicate freely? It’s Apple’s product, Apple’s software. They should not be “forced” to do anything with their product. Android users need to stop complaining. You want Apple features? Buy Apple products. End of story.

@XsPosts @RealJoseph123 @iCave_Dave You can be mad at Apple or samsung if they did the same. It's like buying vegetables but the vendor asks you to buy his other vegetables to get the one you want/need. They can do whatever they want. But you would still be mad. Not participating in right or wrong, just opinion

“Want iMessage? Buy an iPhone!” Any Google services? Buy an Android (Pixel, Samsung, etc) Any Microsoft services? Buy a Windows PC and a MS Surface Duo And if any Nintendo, Sony, or… This cycle wouldn’t end if any other brand had an exclusive service like iMessage.

@iupdate Apple fanboys have iMessage and yet the irony is that they are so disconnected from the world.

If you want iMessage, buy an iPhone.

Exactly!!!!!

@ecosystem_apple @Robin59101 @LeoTheNinja_v2 @theapplehub Says the guy with Apple in his name. Interesting

Should Apple let Android users use iMessage?

"if you want iMessage, buy an iPhone" I've seen this take a lot recently, and I HEAVILY disagree. People usually say this to justify Apple's goal of making messaging interoperability worse. Personally, I think there is *zero* justification for Apple's stance against messaging interoperability. Implementing fully encrypted RCS would be incredibly easy. Allowing Beeper Mini to continue is literally easier than finding a patch. And yet, Apple purposely tries to make communication worse for the entire planet in order to pad their market cap by hundreds of billions of dollars. For better or for worse, iMessage is how most of the U.S. communicates. We're at a point where asking everyone in your life to switch to a third party messaging service is completely unrealistic. This is literally the definition of a monopoly. Apple has a monopoly on messaging. Recommending that everyone who wants iMessage go buy an iPhone is literally the exact incentive Apple needs to keep creating this artificial problem. The solution to broken messaging isn't for one company to have 100% market share. We as consumers shouldn't be defending Apple for prioritizing money over our own ability to communicate.

@LeakerApple @amplifiedpoop2 @simplequestt If we can hold public figures to high standards, then why shouldn't we expect the same from trillion dollar businesses. Are businesses given free passes to participate or even be part of the problem, for the sake of them making more money.

Yes I get that, but you have to understand it’s not Apple’s problem to solve. You can’t just expect to receive a service other people paid a premium for. The solution is for other messaging apps and Android companies to get more competitive. I barely use iMessage, and people in the US can just use RCS or WhatsApp.

If you want iMessage buy a damn iPhone.

@LeakerApple It is such a sad state of the world that people are defending a business, rather than pushing the business to make better experiences for everyone.

@king_ape6 @Robin59101 @LeoTheNinja_v2 @theapplehub If you let companies do their own thing, they will rip you apart just for money.

@Robin59101 @LeoTheNinja_v2 @theapplehub Don’t know what to tell you then. Use Facebook Messenger? People need to let companies do their own things

@Urban_el_soul @tech_instigator Mostly because Reddit has specific communities for user groups of any device. It's easier to get the attention of the same user group and share the experiences.

@MarcTech1996 @edwinxsilva @LuftkoppTim Your 76 year old grandma is more understanding than most people.

Apple may as well drop an iMessage app for Android. Apple is gonna keep stomping out these attempts, yall should just release your own and charge for it. Android users either pay the subscription, so you literally make money off ANDROID USERS ORRRR they will just switch to iPhone to get iMessage for FREE. It would be a win win for Apple 😭 Yall already do this with Apple Music

@angelstealth Yes, that can be done surely. But I am just pointing it out because iPhones are generally applauded for their minimal standby drain and I am yet to experience that in my 1.5 years of usage. I have tried power saving mode as well but didn't help much. And this is all on wifi.

@ecosystem_apple Mine only drains 1-2%, maybe is because your configuration For example, at night you don’t need mobile data or apps working in background, gps positioning, could enable battery saving mode, etc

The standby battery drain on the iPhone 13 has been quite horrible. Everything is updated and running on the latest OS, also recently reset to factory settings. Even then standby drain of ~15% in less than 15 hours is really bad.

@amplifiedpoop2 Not good.

@jameelkhanday @zaheen555 See, the question was which design seemed better. We chose one. You chose another, but at the same time you want to prove that somehow apple's design is better. Neither of us are in their marketing team. So, be happy in your choices. - Sam

@ecosystem_apple @zaheen555 Looks like u r frustrated not being able to understand reason for those box design,, I m not picking a side....I know why they both use prints how they use....it's their brand...

Which design looks better on the box? Google's - Logo, device name and a photo of the back of the device OR Apple's - A photo of the front of the device
