Yes, I understand that was justifiable back then. But I'm saying, if you buy an iPhone TODAY, you can't really complain much. Its restrictiveness is well-known, so you buy one accepting that as part of the package. If you want openness, you just go and get an Android -- which has long ceased to be an inferior option.
(Also, you fail to mention Symbian. It never made a dent in 'Murica, but was king in Europe until early 2011.)
iPhone users are a weird bunch. They knowingly choose the more restrictive platform, then try to find workarounds, rather than choose the platform that is more open in the first place. To quote one of the greatest movies ever: "they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let 'em crash."
The high-end got more expensive, but at the same time the low-end got much better. A $200 phone now can perform so well, most people would not feel a need to upgrade for quite a while.
In theory, copyright exists to give people incentive to publish and share their works with other people while still enjoying a limited form of that original exclusivity insomuch as it can be enforced by law.
You are confusing means and ends. Copyright is a temporary monopoly that is granted as an incentive to the creation of works that ultimately are turned to public domain and benefit society as a whole.
Let me stress this: copyright exists to enrich the public domain. If it fails at that, it has no reason whatsoever to exist, and must be abolished.
So you change phones pretty often, right? But people who want to make the most of the investment won't change them so often, so they will encounter those issues. Maybe it's intentional, a kind of planned obsolescence.
Then it's not really a 10/10, is it? Even if it was perfect in every other way, you must deduct a point for no SD and another for no removable battery.

Oh, in this timeline the *live action* "Beauty and the Beast" movie is the 14th largest grossing film *ever*.
Not the live action B&TB movie, but merely a live action B&TB movie. There are several, the most noteworthy being Jean Cocteau's 1946 version.
Annoying, yes. But the system lets you set up the notifications on a per-app basis.
Mac if you have money to burn, Linux otherwise.
I believe it was the opposite. When it became clear that it was a flop, carriers sold their old stocks dirt cheap. Thus, only poor people bought WPs.

But the first comment was anonymous. So if that wasn't you, then the moving goalpost was unintentional, but that's the impression I got.
Still, that's a moving goalpost.
If your device is rooted, try AdAway. It uses the hosts file to block them completely, system-wide.
Many games were widely ported. For example, look at the original Prince of Persia, it was ported to ~30 platforms.

>The point of using Linux, for me, is to use good software.
As I said, the point of using Linux is to not use a crap system. Same thing but from a different angle.
This subsystem thing makes no sense for me. After all, the point of using Linux is to not use Windows!

But the results can be surprisingly good sometimes. BEHOLD.
but interpolation is not a higher framerate, any more than zooming in on a jpg gives it a higher resolution.
No, it's more like upscaling that jpg, which does give it a higher resolution. Ever used Waifu2x?
Samsung's software is shit indeed. So install an alternative rom, like LineageOS.

Copyright is rent-seeking and harms society as a whole. It should not exist at all.
Apple was in Palo Alto, back in their early days. Check the Apple-1 manual.
I'm literally on my 5th OLED phone.

OLED has durability issues, you know.
If you care about photo quality, forget phones, get a real camera!
Apple is trendy, therefore whatever retarded shit they do must be good and worth copying.
10/10 (except no sd card)
Then it's not really a 10/10, is it? Even if it was perfect in every other way, you must deduct a point for no SD and another for no removable battery.
