      Say, “We at Apple, Think Different.” and refuse to be shepherded into the flock with the likes of the dirty android heathens. You can’t give in so easily. First, they’ll take your Lightning ports, then they’ll take your internal battery and IP68 rating, and before you know it, they’ll take your blue iMessage bubble too.

      At that point, why even bother? You might as well throw a Qualcomm Snapdragon in the next iPhone and call it a day. Congratulations Apple, you have the best UI of any Android phone on the market.

      What the actual fuck?

      You swear this isn’t satire?

        Nobody tell this guy what the EU’s Digital Markets Act means for Apple and iMessage…

      I love how higher IP rating is always the argument, it looks like everybody in this planet is doing daily deep diving and needs its smartphone to do that 😅

          I have a Samsung Xcover (5, not 6) and this thing is such a breath of fresh air!

          16:9 screen, audio jack, good USB-C, SD card, removable battery, physical shortcut button that’s programmable to anything, decent performance (some newer phone games like Genshin don’t run well, but emulated NDS games or Morrowind? Just fine!)

          And this is SAMSUNG‽
          Where’s the world going‽

        You’d think they’d figure out a way to have those high IP ratings and have removable batteries (they have afaik)
