You shouldn’t have to rely on the words of Internet random though, go try one out.
That’s true and I have done that a few times. However they weren’t so informative since I was only able to try some recent Android phones at stores so they weren’t used. My close friends and family either have iPhones or midrange/budget Android phones. So I thought my next best bet is to ask others online.
Forgive me for asking if it was obvious in your comment but, when you said
in iOS the UI thread is split from the rest of the compute, and runs at elevated priority if i recall correctly. this used to not be the same case for android
did you mean that now Android does the same?
It would not. Because when you signed up to Reddit, you accepted their user agreement, which you can read here in full: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/user-agreement-september-25-2023

I don’t know man. Onion is not convenient, and in the modern day and age, especially online, convenience is king.
Edit: I’m dumb, misread you comment as “in the future”, not “in my future”.
This is such a half-ass job at rebranding. They only changed the logos on their front page. All the wording, logos and icons are still the previous ones on their About the Company page, Brand Toolkit, Help Center, Developer Platform, Business and Advertising etc etc.
I’m sure soon enough people are going to develop some “get to the point” extension that automatically deletes all the unnecessarily verbose sentences AI writes.
Okay but I don’t understand. Isn’t paying to remove ads a fair deal? I don’t know, I pay for YouTube Premium and I’m kinda happy about it. The price seems fair; you get no ads, you get to download stuff, enables picture-in-picture and background playback. YouTube has been my main source of entertainment for the last couple of years so it’s the only subscription I have alongside Spotify.
Honestly, I pay for YouTube Premium because I find value in it. The price is reasonable for where I live, and it’s my main source of entertainment. I don’t like watching movies/TV shows that much so YouTube is my jam. So the convenience of being able to download videos, ad-free viewing, picture-in-picture, background playback etc. is totally worth it for me. I know if I dig hard enough and use an Android phone/tablet I can get those features without having to pay, but I don’t like Android and again, the features are worth the small price.
For me, YouTube Premium and Spotify broke piracy because they’re more convenient than pirating.
I am not a developer and honestly curious about this. What’s Apple’s reason for ditching 32 bit programs? Isn’t backwards compatibility a net positive for both developers and consumers?
