For the moment, they are simply better than the competition in regard to LLM ambitions. I got tired of Google being incompetent and not supporting an app/service for more than a few years. Google is chasing after a viral hit app without showing they could actually maintain it for more than longer than a year, at best. Apple is stable, they have a plan to keep their main services stable and useable! I switched to an iPhone last year, it’s a stable experience, if not a bit bland at times due to a lack of serious customization elements. Since moving away from Windows and going to Ubuntu, I even plan on getting a Mac Mini to manage my iPhone (since Linux doesn’t have those tools readily available). I don’t like Apple persay because I don’t trust any corporation, in a market with little choice; I chose them for the time being. When Linux phones are ready for the general audience that is when I will jump ship.
Damn, that’s lame! Domino’s used to be cheaper than Pizza Hut and decent pizza. I’d be annoyed too. If not for the sensitivity to food smells, you’d have saved money!
