BFD, I switched to a Fairphone 6 (De-Googled) and I'm not looking back. The only thing I might miss, a tiny bit, is the iWatch.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Which isn't even called the iWatch

? And apparently Tim Apple isn't even called Tim Apple? Is this whole company some sort of mirage?

I am still waiting for a new Maxipad.

Seems like iphone lovers are mighty upset at you.

I don’t think it’s that, it’s that this comment doesn’t really add anything and it’s annoying to see the same tribalistic tropes repeated in every single post about phone brands. I despise the dogged fanboyism of the android and iOS people.

I didn’t up or downvote for the record.

Same. Which is why I like to see Fairphone, Jolla and GrapheneOS etcetc mentioned as much as possible :)

Stop it, Patrick! You're scaring him! Fairphone, Jolla, SailfishOS, GrapheneOS! 👻

As (currently) the only other person to reply to that net-upvoted comment, pretty much that. I also did not up- or downvote
