The only thing iOS really does better imo is the quick settings menu

Holy shit it sucks on Android compared to iOS

It looks better, it has more options, it has better overview and grouping

Ok. And android still sucks compared to Apple. Always full of bloatware and can never get updated or long term support. Only the Google phones have a decent OS

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

This is a ridiculous take. You can change any of that in Android easily, Apple locks you into BS without extreme measures

So you most likely wanted to say "and Samsung still sucks compared to Apple?" Google phones also run Android, you know.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Samsung has even cut most of the horseshit out. My S22 had like a few Samsung apps, they live in a folder and I never see them. But that is similar to all of the Apple apps you couldn't remove either (don't know if that's changed, haven't had an iPhone since the 4)

But android doesnt run the llm locally. Can someone please make a foss app that can do simmillar things.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

No phones can run "LLMs" currently because by definition, large.

Some Android phones however can and does run smaller models locally. Gemini Nano runs on Pixel 8 and can run on Samsung phones.

Does your Android phone get 5+ years of software support?
