Telegram Founder Blasts Apple, Says Iphone Users Are Digital Slaves by phonesiq: 12:44am On May 20, 2021
Pavel Durov, the founder of social messaging platform Telegram says developing for Apple's software feels like working in the "Middle Ages," adding that users are a "digital slave" to the company.

Durov made comments in his public Telegram channel on May 19 in response to a recent New York Times investigation on Apple's relationship with China and its involvement in "large-scale surveillance and censorship at the behest of China."

Durov added that the worst part about Apple's technology is not "clunkier devices or outdated hardware," but that users who have an iPhone are a "digital slave of Apple."

He's very correct though. grin grin It's only slaves who are confined to a certain amount of something. Let's take for instance — apple devices have no expandable storage... You see dem deleting stuffs here and there cheesy cheesy While Android users who are digital Lords doesn't know such limitation grin grin grin

There are too many limits on what users can do with their phones, unlike Android. For e.g., you cannot change the display theme, launcher, or expand your storage using SD card, etc.

They only get what Apple says they can get. Advanced technology is usually hoarded by Apple for several years after it becomes mainstream on other platforms, just so that Apple can have some little thing to add to their next iPhone.
As the cofounder said, developing for Apple feels like he’s living in the Middle Ages.

Lol. WhatsApp is only relevant because it was released first, and it continues to copy features of other platforms to stay relevant. Like another case of the “digital slavery” the man is talking about.
Telegram is superior by far. WhatsApp will have to copy Telegram in its entirety to remain relevant in the future.
Features will eventually defeat familiarity.

Let's be realistic about facts, how many average persons can comfortably afford an Android device ranging from 100k-150k in Nigeria right now? With the availability of midrange mediatek affordable phones in every stores right now??

If it was affordable bet we would see a lot of people using it. We iPhone users are not complaining. I don’t see why I should want to change theme when I’m not a baby or use micro sd when there’s always cloud storage at my disposal. The best decision I made several years ago was to port to iPhone and I’m never looking back again.

The iPhone 7 is still a very solid phone, and you can get one with 70k. I only used the X/XR example because notched iPhones are seen as the holy grail of smartphone technology by the average Nigerian.
The average Nigerian may not be able to afford it, but it’s not the most expensive thing in the world either. Having one equates to being rich in some people’s eyes.

No one is talking of SD card here...even Android guys barely use SD cards these days. And no one is telling you to change either.
You can love your iPhone and still agree that Apple doesn’t always make the best decisions for its users. They make the best decisions for their pockets. My iPad Pro from 2017 has a 120Hz display, same as a lot of Android flagships these days. Meanwhile, the iPhone 12 Pro of 2020/2021 doesn’t have it. That’s because they know they have to innovate & update in order to survive against Samsung in the Tablet market. But for iPhones, all they have to do is release a new colour and people will still buy en masse.

iPhone invest massively and design and security and majority of folks uses the iPhone cause of this reasons. Take for instance it was after the iPhone X release that other phones went into full screen display with little or no bezel and then double cameras. In terms of security the iPhone Face ID remains unbreakable have seen several videos over YouTube where android phones the flagship ones are been opened with a 3D face of an individual. In as much as you would weigh the cons the pros are there. The iPhone 7 was released 2016 and is still relevant till today can you say the same for Samsung s6 or a tecno note of 2016?..
