Okay, this is not an iPhone vs Android Phone debate. I respect your right to choose whichever platform that you want.


I mean, iPhone seems so antithetical with the idea of freedom. You have to connect it to a server to even use it, all apps have to go through a centralized server, no option to install whatever apps you want, which means, you literally cannot have any third-party apps without an online account.

Most of my fellow americans seems to love the idea of freedom so much, yet just buy into a closed ecosystem with no freedom? 🤔

Like almost 60% of Americans use iPhone, kinda weird to preach freedom when you cant even have an app without a corporation’s approval. If it were any other country, I wouldn’t find it weird, but for a country that’s obsessed with the idea of freedom (so much so that they disobeyed mask mandates), it’s really weird to be using a device with zero freedom.

      Really? The question isn’t targeted at Americans. It’s asking why most americans use iphones. Where does it say only Americans can answer? Are we carrying on from the other thread?

        Agreed. Yes I want to hear what other people say. The only reason it’s even valid to say “why does country x ….” is to included whether and how it’s different than “country not equal x”.

        Most of the time we may find out we’re all people, regardless of political divisions

          Yes, @Jeebaichow is correct. It’s the other guy who doesn’t quite have a grasp on nuance. Why can’t a BMW driver criticize/ have an opinion on a Mercedes, as long as it’s valid?
