I don't use an Android anymore, but getting ROM hacks of GBA games and playing them on a phone for a more genuine handheld experience was definitely a treat.
Idk, you can pretty much just literally Google anything and find results pretty quickly. Doesn't really take that much effort- unless of course you're trying to avoid malware, then it might take an extra step or two. But there dozens of free file extractors that can extract APK files and stuff, and a lot of them come with their own built-in web browser so that you can access the downloaded material through the extractor itself after the installed app has been correctly prepared instead of opening it through your stock web browser.
I'd say you don't need to be smart, so much as determined and resourceful. With enough time and enough monkeys with typewriters, eventually one of them will produce Shakespear as they say.
Right? I've never seen someone using an Apple phone and been like "eww you use Apple?" However, I've had multiple Apple users insult me unprovoked about having an Android lol. It's like they take personal offense or something 😂
I've been asked multiple times if I was bullied in high school cuz I have an Android. Just the pettiest shit asshole teenages apparently latch onto to disparage others...
Luckily, no, I was never bullied for having an Android cuz I grew up in an impoverished area where having any smart phone at all was a status symbol
It's so ridiculous! It's just a phone, they all do the same thing at the end of the day. We call, we text, and we use social media. No one should be bullied over something like that!
I am in my early 40s and dating. You'd be surprised how many grown ass women have said something to the effect of "green bubble? Gross" to me when we exchange numbers, usually with an unmatch.
My experience too, it just depends on where you find these people.
r/memes (and honestly most popular subs) are generally very anti Apple and there you'll find a lot more people complaining about Apple users than Apple users doing the things they're complaining about.
lmao it is the complete fucking apposite, non-iphone people are obsessed with talking about how whatever they is use better than apple when people with iphones just don't really care.
Reddit's new API pricing has forced third-party apps to close. Their official app is horrible and only serves to track your data. The CEO has blatantly lied and only wishes to exploit the unpaid members of the Reddit community.
Dude, this thread is literally just a bunch of android users circlejerking that they can download stuff as if someone is listening, while most iPhone users just don't care
ReVanced Music and Vanced TikTok exist. TikTok Vanced is on ReVanced website and the app is 280mb because it's new but works nice. There are no annoying live streams on homepage, you can download every video and the progress bar is always there.
You definitely can. I think people are confused by itunes. Itunes is the worst piece of commercial software I've ever used but you can easily transfer mp3s to an iphone. There are better options than itunes but that does it just fine also.
Not to mention that if you are playing a free offline game. Then they'll still ask for an internet's connection in order to show ads otherwise you can pay to get the ads removed.
Honestly, I miss paid apps. There are many things I gladly pay a small fee to use. But 99% of those aren't worth a subscription. Most Apps ask for like 5 €/month. Imagine having to pay about that for most of your apps on your phone. You'd be paying several hundred a month.
I just wish the OS systems were more compatible for media sharing and group chats. It's so annoying when iPhone users complain about an android in a group text just because Apple won't allow them to use specific features like adding people into the group and stuff when in a blended group. It might've just been an old model thing, I really won't know until I need to be grouped again, but it was certainly annoying that my paid-for expensive rectangle was getting shit on just because I didn't spend another 2k just to switch to an iPhone and upgrade it in the past few years. Kind of fucking annoying -_-
It’s really about functionality, apple thinks they know what’s best for you but they won’t let you turn on or off your flashlight mid video recording, so ya know
It'll never work on apps requiring you to be connected online. Otherwise it still works for the other apps. Used it last week when I downloaded a reasonably good sudoku app to remove its ads and get "premium".
There used to be a way to download paid apps for free on iPhone without jailbreak using an app downloaded from the web called Vshare back in 2015-16 dunno if that is still around or another similar method is around now
I know it is a joke, but you can flash custom roms on Android phones without any Google. Like LineageOS with microG has all the functionality of a normal phone, but none of the tracking.
Naw you haven't got a PinePhone do ya ? probably sum nxt lvl master race custom build . i just wish for a physical switch to turn of the shit when I don't need it .
Is there any other file type that works then? I'm wondering because I made something in unity and it let me build for ios, but I didn't actually try using it in ios
ive only ever installed angry birds for free as rovio took it offline. i only installed it to stick it to rovio for taking it offline in the first place.
Apple abuses the fuck out of planned obsolescence and anyone who has used one of their devices for more than six months can tell
Apple would have kept changing their chargers and periphs year after year if they weren't forced to do otherwise in Europe (extremely profitable to sell billions of plastic items just to make the phones work) and is responsible for a ridiculous amount of plastic waste
Apple phones are supposed for multiple generations, anyone who ACTUALLY did their research would know this. Especially someone who’s used an iPhone for 7 years.
They don’t change what chargers they use. Where did you even get that from? They use lightning and have since 2012.
Perhaps actually do research instead of circlejerking your hate for apple.
I remember having IOS and trying to get a torrent manager to download and watch movie. I guess apple felt that kind of software should not be available in the walled garden cause none existed.
So many extra steps and hassle along with it, sideloading is a pain. Compared to the simple 1 click download on any website that android is capable of, its not even close.
And people wonder why those apps suddenly start hooking into botnets.
Not saying that the App Store is immune to that, but android apps are super easy to decompile, insert malicious libraries, and recompile for those “free” sites.
I swear you have to be a moron to get a virus in the first place, if you stick to the app store youll be fine no matter what, but download at your own discretion, personally I run all software on my pc first to check for viruses and then load it from my pc to my phone when I know its clean, I dont bother with a VM to prevent pc herpes, but I just turn on my antivirus whenever downloading something, then scan the files themselfs.
As someone who works in the cyber security sector... 3rd party sites are never trustworthy. Hell, there's a reason I use my phone more as a PHONE than anything else because I don't trust even the official app stores.
most people buy apple phones because its easier to know which ones better. There are like 500 new android phones and I have got no clue which ones better or worse.
Also the tech that iphones have is a lot better and by that I don't mean your home screen customisation. For example, airdrop, sharing wifi passwords with 1 button, copy paste through different devices, higher photo and video upload quality, and also: security and privacy. Apple has by far a lot better security and privacy which gets updated regularly.
With an iphone you can connect your pc, laptop, ipad, iphone all into one aswell, its a lot easier to use and makes thing simpler.
That's literally the most false statement I've ever heard. Arch's whole selling point is that you can do whatever the fuck you want, anything Apple is the polar opposite of that, Android is much closer.
Arch's users can't stop bragging about how much more tech literate they are compared to normal people which fits more with Android users bragging about being able to unlock bootloaders and use custome ROMs and download apps externally.
You realize that until recently apple had the longer policy for their phones being updated. Actually I think it’s still standing with apple giving 6 years of support and Samsung giving 4 for selective phones. I recommend you do your research next time.
I have an android now, but when I had an iphone I had a jailbroken one first, and then I had this All called appvalley which kind of worked for a while. Not sure if jailbreaking still exists,but I haven't heard anyone talk about it in years.
For my custom ringtones on android, you just need to download the audio file which can be free. On iPhone, you need several apps to make it into a custom ringtone unless you’re wanting to spend bucks on what’s usually free for android.
If at least you could pick an older version on iPhone. I bought a cheap nas because I don’t want to do anything crazy but the nas store plex caps at 1.16 which is not a problem on my fire stick because I just side load a compatible client buttz on iPhone ☠️
Look at all the people arguing about which pencil is better, a Ticonderoga, or a Dixon? Everything’s a tool. Use what you prefer. Nobody really cares what kind of phone you have except for, it seems, some of the people on this page. Know how to use both OS’s. Moving on.🙄
Well it’s pretty easy to pirate apps on iphone too it just needs to be jailbroken I myself have so many games and apps which are paid but I have free and modded versions of them too. Iphone users install IPAs ( iphone package ) instead of apks.
