The other fundamental flaw in the iphone market is that NOBODY can fix bugs in ios but apple, I have personally fixed bugs in my android builds.


That’s great for you. But it doesn’t make a difference to the other 99.999999% of users who only install whatever is available from automatic system updates.

It’s the equivalent of saying in response to a political issue that affects all of society - doesn’t really affect me because I flew to my private island. We’re happy for you, but how does that advance the conversation?


All it takes is for one person to fix a bug for it to potentially be a solution for others.

That option is not on the table for anyone using iOS.


Just because everyone doesn't do what I do, doesn't make it wrong.


I’m not saying you’re wrong. It’s just irrelevant. So what if you can patch the issue on your phone, how does that affect the rest of society?

It just sounds like you’re bragging about your technical chops, like a person with a private island would be flexing their wealth.


Not at all, anyone can do what I do, they just dont care most of the time.


I question your use of the word “fundamental“.


Same as OP's fundamental.


Username makes sense.
