I think part of the “it just works” definition is the default apps should work without missing features, however you’re not wrong, alternatives do exist.

Well it tends to come up for me because I’m the tech person around the house and at work, so phone and other device / software recommendations tend to come my way. I don’t really care what phone you use, I ain’t that much of a prick.
To be fair, unlike previous years iphone releases I’ve seen more skepticism than normal. I fully expected diehard apple users to be resenting the removal of the lightning connector due to excess charging cables. And while those comments exist, it is a very small minority of people. However with that said I don’t fully understand the mindset of buying a phone that has limited or obsolete hardware / software. (ergo headphone jack, ergo missing software feature, ergo USB 2.0 from 23 years ago)
Once again, I’m still trying to figure out how apple users can defend this. Yes, Google maps had this feature, but everytime I talk to apple users I’m always told they got their phone because “it just works!”. But then I learn that features I consider basic at best are completely missing. If my iphone should “just work” I expect the features I want to exist without another app installation. Things on iphone only seem to work if you don’t know anything better.
Pertaining to the signal issue, as with anything, if you and I can use it, so can corrupt politicians, drug dealers, terrorists, and more. Signal is a great tool but it can be abused like anything else
edit: I’m not saying what these politicians are doing is okay, I’m only mentioning this just in case someone is anti-encryption, encryption is good and any political figure trying to outlaw it can go fuck themselves
I agree, the features apple does implement do tend to be more polished or at the very least not annoying to the user.
