Never understood the perception that android cheaper than Apple. My Note costs the same as the latest iPhone.

when communicating between two RCS enabled devices, what data are they selling if end-to-end encryption is enabled by default?
Im talking about other things as well in their ecosystem
Why does Google need all that info for?

it's an ad company.:comeon:

that being said, theres plenty of ways to limit the amount of data google or any other company can get from a user. can restrict it to the point that it collects less data than an apple device.

my big gripe with apple is that they know every single app you install on ios. that sort of data collection can be rendered inert on android.

:laff::laff::laff:
Google is such a hypocritical fukk knowing full well if they had this advantage they would never let it go either
perfect examples google search engine and YouTube
I don't get the comparison. How is Google stopping you from using any other search engines? How are they stopping you from using any other video platform? Please explain.

what they're doing is equivalent to duckduckgo asking them to use google's search engine capabilities for their searches or if Vimeo asked Youtube to show their channels on their app because google search engine and YouTube are the de facto sites for these services.
you don't use Vimeo because no one is there
you use google because it's the best
There are marketing advantages
and google is afraid of apple they know what happens when they enter an industry
more people have iPhones than androids so google is feeling the heat on the green bubble thing. So they're trying to guilt trip apple into doing this. then you add onto the fact that teenagers are the most impacted on this since apple kills the group chats feature once one android is in the mix. They are losing this war and have lost for years.
they're basically telling apple to get rid of an advantage that sells these phones.
the blue bubble is a marketing advantage. it tells everyone you text that hey I have an iPhone too and yeah it's stupid but so is most of the stuff in the world right now.
this is why they're hiring celebs to do it because they need the public to get apple to do it


so I understand why apple is saying hell no:manny:
also the way apple works. I bet they have some new way of doing messaging that will still hinder communication between apple and android.
this is the same fight people have with the lightning cable.

There are distinct differences. Duckduckgo wanting to use Google's algorithm is not the same as apple adopting an industry standard service. Duckduckgo would be essentially asking for Google to give them proprietary technology and for what reason? Just so it can destroy Google's marketshare? I don't see the equivalency at all.

The Vimeo example is even less sensible. Why would Youtube show videos on the Vimeo platform? That makes no sense. However it does make sense for Apple to adopt RCS. Just like they adopted SMS and MMS before it because those things are standard across all platforms and it makes EVERYTHING secure. Not just Apple to Apple communications.

And no, more people have Android phones globally. It's only in the US where apple has a marketshare advantage and it's only recently that that happened. And it's a very slight advantage. As for that article that you posted. That's a lawsuit. It's not something that has actually been proven to have happened. They are suing because they THINK it happened. Until proven otherwise it's a frivolous lawsuit.

Now, I have no doubt Google is doing the whole blue vs green bubble campaign for no other reason than to line their own pockets. No doubt at all. But that doesn't mean that Apple is in the right here.
