Funny thing is, the reason I never considered buying an iPhone was because I liked developing small apps and doing this on an iPhone is virtually impossible without paying. And I don’t think I’m alone here, and this problem scales to professionals.
Yeah. But when you run your own business or have multiple responsibility then iphone makes all sense. The way everything just works and works well. Like i used to edit pdf on the fly with my iPhone easily, android i still haven’t figured out what app is great for reading, highlighting and removing or adding pages without requiring subscription or being bloated like Microsoft office or Adobe. And it’s the same shit for everything that apple has already made app for, they re just much better than what you get on android. Not even speaking of open source or small app like you say that are broken after the développer decide to fuck off (i understand why) or is just bad because développer ain’t user interface designer.
I don’t disagree with all you said, but for example my company has developed for our field technicians an app they use when they go to customers. Obviously they chose android over ios. That’s what I meant with impact on businesses. But Apple is making its revenue on b2c so for them it’s probably OK. Always surprised a company that big survives on b2c.
I don’t know if the fancier Samsung phones may have apps like what you mentioned? I’ll take a look. Next time I’m offered a work phone I’ll take an iPhone, I am curious to try one out tbh.
For a business, paying apple fee once a year is like nothing. And I found apple software to manage company phones better than what is available (if there is, beside Samsung).
Even developing, I’m no developer but I also had to make a small app for very simple task on iPhone and Android. Android studio with the java looked like gibberish when am xcode and swift felt much easier to learn.
In France, I have yet to work in a company that gives their employees android instead of dumb phone or iPhone.
