I remember getting all excited when googs tried to take it by the reins in 2016ish but the amount of people that still…
1 - simply hate it and only use SMS still (and turn off mobile data too like neanderthrals)
2 - hate it because RCS sometimes just does not work because they got a backlog of “texts” suddenly coming through, and turn it off
3 - use a third party app for messaging instead and have done with it
I really don’t see how it’s gonna compete with Apple being, Apple too :/
Aye. I’ve still got my Nexus One somewhere and while it feels dinky and have svelte enough pinkys to use it, it does feel like a EDC kinda thing that does phone calls + mp3 + browser.
But I also like the “plablet” era since what’s the point of straining our eyes and trying to poke at the smallest advert “X” box on a likkle phablet?
Cargo pants + wifi + VPN at work I likey and saves me a few quid each month too.
