Android and ios are basically indistinguishable to me at this point

Lol

I use both every day. Pixel 9 Pro XL (personal) and an iPhone 12 (work). Plus my own M1 iPad Pro.

They're not even fucking close.

Seriously?

Look, the one is taking and exploiting nearly all of your data, while giving you 10.000 different well hidden opt out options, the other is taking all of your data for granted while telling you it is for your best and nobody else should have it, and promising they are never ever gonna exploit it, swear with fingers crossed... hm... OK you are right.

Tell me you've never used an iPhone without telling me.

I own and use both every day. Not even the UX is the same. They are not even close.

they have been siphoning features off each other for so long, the differences are only splitting hairs imo.

Mostly Apple doing that (they just invented the Pixel's "call screen" feature yesterday), but you're not wrong.

Not really. Outside of "black glass slab with big cameras", they differ quite a bit.

What differences do you actually want to know? I'm genuinely happy to explain and show side-by-sides if needed.

frankly you seem to really care a lot about this topic and i was only making a passing remark on my personal experience, and I don't really care to learn about the intricate differences between using ios and android. like at all. have a great day though!

[–] lka1988@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Fair enough.
