I think that is a typo.

Its name is soon to be "Ex".

And the former "tweet" will become an "ex-it", ha.

Is it possible to have an eSim hooked to a different carrier than the one connected to the physical SIM?  Assuming an unlocked iPhone, that is.

Yes, completely possible, mine has one physical SIM from the UK and an eSIM from the US which was soooooo much easier to add and configure, the future is eSIM. There may be teething problems (I'd point fingers at the telcos dragging their feet), but when you get one it's much easier than dealing with a physical SIM. Don't listen to the trolls.

Let the data collection continue.....

Are you able to delete the account without deleting instagram? Because that is the only reason why the user numbers are said to be so high.

I prefere to stick with twitter. Why go for the copycat?

Do you own stock in Tesla? Your posts sure sound like it.

Don't be so limiting, those who refuse to leave Twitter could be expecting Apartheid Elmo to give them a pony, or they may be Andrew Tate fans, or nazis, or the list just keeps running on and on.

Oddly though Android continues to exist a decade and a half later, and in good numbers. How can that be if 10-14% of the ecosystem switch to Apple devices every year and smartphone adoption numbers aren't rising?  

Hint: it's not 14% of the entire Android user base. It's 14% of iPhone buyers in a given year.  

Oh. So 15 years later nearly the entire current iOS ownership base comes from what were originally Android owners? 10-15% every year is a substantial turnover, in total a collectively huge percentage of today's iPhone owners, and a massive Android ecosystem loss. Goodness, how have they survived?  

Of course marketers on both sides are going to cherry pick data to make claims. The whole world of marketing is about bamboozling people who don't think too deeply about things into believing one thing or another.

Let's move past the talking points and get to a real technical analysis of what makes a good piece of technology that enriches our lives. And how the actions of the companies behind those technologies sets an example for future generations. With that in mind, it's not surprising to see the current behaviour of tech company leaders.

You're talking to a person who is so partisan in his product choices he goes into the others' camp to talk shit about their choices, not rational and certainly not reasonable, just very very childishly predictable where everything out of his mouth is the utterly simple, "contra-Apple," comment. That's not cogent thinking or arguing and it definitely won't be from that ilk what is an admirable and noble desire to achieve.

I used to have good debates with GG about Google's technology and the motivation of the people behind it, but now it seems that talking points are the order of the day. Which is the same reason I don't bother with social media: paid shills dominate the conversations. They're probably mostly automated at this point.

Agreed fully, there used to be some great technical conversations to be had, for many of us it started at MacRumors but when that site went to the trolls, we migrated here where there still existed some good discussions. Those, sadly, seem to be leaving here as well, save for the small and rare pockets (esp when Mike or Marvin chime in with some great insight and info). People seem more interested in the partisan tit-tat bickering than acknowledging that product preference need not be partisan (and aren't for a large group of us), and where agnostic technical discussions can be quite stimulating for everyone regardless of which product s/he prefers.

This is happening across seveal consumer subscritoion industries: Obama phones, subscriptions, Netflix, Amazon  Prime, Water, Electricity Gas you name it.   Why you ask?  Because they are giving away or 50% reduction to lazy people who choose not to work.   Those of us who bust our backs to support ourselves are now also paying for the lazy.    Fact Check it.

Blah, blah, blah, utter bigoted drivel and nonsensical partisan blathering and lunacy.
