  • Google bizarrely believes that iPhone photos can be fixed on a Pixel

    LOL. Google with yet another stupid ad that makes no sense. 

    “Oh gee. Let’s do a genius as where we imply that our product is actually better and that the other product needs ours to fix it’s problems.”

    This kind of paychological ploy never works outside of 6th grade. 

    Either that or they forgot to state that the iPhone in the was the iPhone 3G. 
    So, I have a feeling that there's a bit of info missing here.

    iOS will only send full resolution images and video to other iOS devices via iMessage. If an image or video is sent via MMS, iOS drops the resolution far lower than any other app that conforms to the SMS and MMS standards. This was never a problem between Android, Blackberry, Windows Mobile, or Symbian.

    I have a friend that is always sharing videos of art she makes with me and she has to send them through email or WhatsApp because they look like they were taken with a potato via MMS.

    What I wonder is... Has Google convinced Apple to jump on the RCS wagon?

    …to be more specific in my comments… the organization of the OS is inferior as it seems chaotic. They loaded it up with games I didn’t ask for. Again, iPhone user, so making basic settings changes were difficult to figure out. 

    One bright spot. Google apps work great (as well as they can since I believe Gmail is poorly designed but I do use it.)
    As a serious question, because I feel that Android and iOS are actually on equal footing and realistically meant for different people, what phone did you get and what carrier?

    The reason I ask is that a lot of bloatware is actually dictated by carriers. It's wild connecting an unlocked phone to, say, AT&T, and as soon as the SIM is recognized it starts downloading whatever AT&T dictates. 

    The big difference there is that Apple basically has the pull to tell the carriers to go kick rocks. 

    I once had an LG G6 at work and it would automatically install Sprint apps without even popping a notification.

    My personal phone is currently a Pixel 6 Pro on Google Fi and the only included apps are first-party Google apps (Gmail, Messages, Maps, Calendar, etc.)

    Verizon is REALLY bad with bloatware because they force phone manufacturers to bake their apps right into the system partition, which means they can't even be removed.
