What's the point of having the 'fastest processor on the market' if you are completely locked down?

- no background tasks, OneDrive experience sucks

- file system experience sucks, cannot save file in one app and open in another

- no alternative browsers

- no apps like Termux, or other emulators

It's a joke!

What are you going to do with this 'fastest processor'? Make photos of food for Instagram?



> - no background tasks

Completely false - there are many types of background tasks an app can perform.

> OneDrive experience sucks

Obviously this is subjective, but OneDrive can integrate at the file system level and be treated as a first-party file provider. If MS makes that suck, that’s not on apple.

> - file system experience sucks, cannot save file in one app and open in another

Also completely false. The Files app/framework includes not only locally created and managed files and iCloud, but also incorporates third party file storage like Dropbox and OneDrive.

> - no alternative browsers

Also false

> - no apps like Termux, or other emulators

Plenty of apps to get you on an SSH or serial terminal - Prompt and GetConsole are my gotos, but there are tons.

It really sounds like you read a list of half-true iOS complaints from 2010 and regurgitated them here.


Can I do the following workflow on iPhone:

1. navigate to a download link in browser, download the file

2. change file extension to zip, and unpack it to a folder

3. open one of the extracted .docx files and open in Word

4. save it as a PDF file

5. go to Mail app and attach the PDF file

Is the $1000 phone with the 'fastest processor of the market' capable to do this?


With like 6 different apps, you can.
