If you send a photo from an iPhone to an android, it downgrades the resolution for no reason. They're [uck fay]ed.
I know people like apple products. I know people swear by the brand. I know they are pretty good products. In the old days the folks who deemed themselves part of the "counter culture" thought they were making a statement to the Man. Little did they realize they were just excellently marketed to by the Man. For me personally, I have never owned one, nor cared to own one (pc, phone, etc), primarily because of the monopolistic strategy. So I ain't mad over the anti-trust suit. Applephiles will have a meltdown.
There is actually a reason for the downgrade. iPhones speak to other iPhones over iMessage. Since iMessage is proprietary Android can't use it, and Apple doesn't want to implement RCS which is what Android phones use to talk to each other (most of the time). So messages between Apple and Android phones fall back to SMS, which caps images at under 1 MB in size. So any image sent between Android and iOS (regardless of the original sender) has to go through SMS meaning it has to be compressed to shit. Now if you want to force iPhone to either open iMessage or force them to implement RCS in addition to iMessage that's one thing. But they aren't compressing images for no reason, it's a limitation of the protocol being used to communicate.
It's intentional from the standpoint they don't want to support RCS and want to use the "blue bubble" as a status symbol. But you see the same thing in text images between Android phones that don't support RCS, if an image is sent over SMS and it wasn't taken on a flip phone its gonna look like shit.
They have been pulling shit for years and getting away from it. Hell they openly steal other people's IP. I hope they get hammered.
Watch the John Daly video about him playing with ex presidents, Trump included. Its pretty funny. Clinton stories were the best though.
"...which I have been over many many times when commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car." When he commuted by car, he used it. He has used it many many times. He famously often took the train, it makes perfect sense he is mentioning that he commuted by car as well and when he did it was this bridge. Good grief. So hard up for the gaffs.
