Very strong feelings lol, coincidentally that's how many Westerners think of every country outside the USA and Europe.

Doesn't change the fact that Android has the largest market share worldwide in both hardware and software.

Expensive doesn't mean quality, and a lot of developers don't want to work with a company that makes billions on child labor and similar practices. Apple has plenty of useless apps, but like anything else, users filter the best apps. Besides, developers today often deploy identical apps on multiple platforms.

This pretentious attitude is very isolating, I am just glad that ad-blocking and privacy is an option I have as a user. Additionally, I don't have to shell out for huge margins on overpriced gadgets to feed a tech monopoly that violates basic human rights for profits.

That's the last comment I'll write, because there are already enough Android/iOS flame wars polluting the internet. You had your word, I had mine, that's as civil as I can be.

Wait? Which company is using child labor?
