    Basically iMessaging and FaceTime.

    Blows my mind that literally every other brand of phone has settled on a standard for rich messaging and video calls, but Apple had to make a big stink about it and pinky-promise it’ll be out this year.

    And all the Apple users act like everybody else is inferior…while they’re the only ones that are incompatible.

    I bought an iPhone 12 specifically because I was tired of potato-grams between my wife and I. I switched back to Android a couple weeks ago on that pinky-promise.

    Among several other Apple-isms, this one blows my mind then most.

      Every other brand is running the same base OS which is Android. There are basically only two platforms for modern smartphones. Yes I know there are a few other options (mobian for example), but they aren’t nearly as popular or functional.
