Hi Joel,

Remember, I probably have more Apple devices than you do.
And I have Android devices too. And I test them.

I don't do only what Apple tells me to do, Joel. Nor Google.
So I know the differences.

You have no clue. Neither do any of the Apple trolls.
None of the Apple trolls knows anything about iOS.

iOS can't really be called a full-fledged operating system.
Because iOS can't do thousands of things every other OS easily does.

I'm not so sure about MacOS but iOS isn't really an operating system.
Being nice, the best you could call it is that it's a toy operating system.

There's almost nothing you can do with it that *every* other common
consumer operating system does, e.g., something as simple as add a
system-wide firewall, or use the Tor Browser, or run Wi-Fi graphical
debugging tools, or simply change the skin (i.e., the launcher) or set the
default app to almost any file type, to spoofing the GPS, to simply
connecting the device to a PC not from Apple and slide files back and
forth.

At best, iOS is brain dead out of the box.
It can't do the most basic of things every other operating system does.

Even if you pull down your pants to let Apple gleefully shove their
privacy-robbing AppleID deeply into your asshole, all the painful screaming
in the world means nothing to Apple who hates their customer two much they
won;t even let you remove that stick up your ass by removing the 2FA.

No other common consumer OS vender hates their customer as much as Apple
does in that NOBODY but Apple requires 2FA just to use the device daily.

Only Apple requires that mothership account shoved up your ass (if you want
the device to do anything at all - even as it's brain dead anyway).

And only Apple enjoys your pain so much after shoving that account up your
ass that Apple won't let you remove the 2FA which Apple requires you have.
