This sounds strictly better than a regular browser, is there some obvious downsides that im missing (I know I could google this but you write very clearly and concisely and if it’s not too much trouble, I’d love to hear your views on this)

And to think, that you were trusted.

It’s not quite that simple when you’re talking about a company with huge market share like that because the decisions they make go on to effect the market as a whole, look at headphone jacks, or screen notches for example. Not saying this is only apples fault, companies following their lead are just as bad or worse in some cases.

We can see it happening again with the removal of Sim cards, sure it won’t effect me, but if it becomes more industry standard, it will; and I like physical Sims (though that argument is not for here).

In my opinion it is important to know and criticize market leaders to try to avoid those changes becoming industry norm. To use your example, I would care about what whiteware my neighbours buy if the shitty decisions they make come back to effect me down the road. Look at the criticism of smart TVs and how hard it is to get a top featured “dumb Tvs” now.

But saying “com-fidi-ble” is so much more fun

Can confirm Source: don’t eat meat, still a fat little gremlin

I feel this. A couple years ago I decided you either get me on signal or SMS, I lost contact with a lot of people after that, but seeing my contacts slowly join and having people slowly start to accept it as a viable messaging app is a good feeling

I have a galaxy fold and can confirm when in landscape with the entire bottom half as a split keyboard and bigger buttons, it feels incredible to type on ( even portrait feels great).

I know its not the broadest of appeals but as someone who write lengthy work emails on my phone it’s a feature I don’t think I will ever be able to live without now. I mention this because when I got the phone I had never even thought about it, and now it’s one of my favourite features of it, so while people may not expect to like it, they may try it “just to see” and be hooked.
