I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn’t Android’s fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

      And we only got that because of government action, forcing Ma Bell to allow folks to use their own equipment.
