It's all doom bullshit from Apple Fanboys. It's like they never touched an Android Phone in their live

Can’t speak for other Fanboys™ but I have to help my in-laws with their Pixels weekly, which also happens to coincide with the one time a week I want to blow my brains out.

Luckily I’m extremely close to having them inducted into the fruit cult just by having them play around on my dev iPhone when I’m not working. So fingers crossed it happens before get pushed over the edge.

As an aside: what kind of OS allows apps to create read-only contacts in the Contacts app, ffs…

My comment will seem a bit rude, but do all of you guys just have idiots for inlaws? My parents are in their 70s now and are by no stretch of the imagination technical in any way, yet I've literally never had to help untangle them like I see people talk about here constantly. Hell, my 97 year old grandpa uses his ancient android phone just fine, what on earth are people doing out there?
