I think it’s less to do with IOS vs Android and more to do with phone vs PC (potentially even ones where you had to use command prompt to do things). File systems, OS corruption, ability to replace parts, etc are not really things a typical phone-only user is going to deal with. There are a lot of primarily phone, tablet, Chromebook users these days and it abstracts away a lot of the lower-level stuff that millennials were forced to deal with to use AOL Instant Messenger to chat.

Curious in which ways specifically you think that millennials are struggling.

Yeah, but Apple could adopt RCS which Android supports and all of those messaging improvements you mentioned are copacetic.

Interesting. I’ve owned a Pixel 3, 4a-5G and a 7 and have had no hardware issues, even side loading unsigned software and stuff (e.g. hacked version of Samsung health for the Watch 4).

Are we blaming the people and communities of Reddit or the actions of the IPO-minded business?

Inb4 “yes”.

How’d you get Unicode through the username filter?
