~~Losers~~ People deep in the apple ecosystem. There's a surprising number these days.

Apparently the Google maps app on ios is very terrible

Friend of mine showed it to me on a quite recent phone and it's super stuttery and laggy when scrolling around

That's kinda funny considering what garbage applemaps was when it launched. Google just had to not screw up and I guess they did.

when it launched

Yes. That right there. I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps and I like it much better. Hell, even the GPS doesn’t play catch up nearly like what Google Maps does. Speed limits are posted for like every street so I know it before I see a sign. It’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than Google Maps as well.

I had the OG Droid, did all the rooting and ROMing on my phones, and went up to the Samsung S8 until I switched. I don’t miss Android, but I’m not a power user either.

A little strange that you think Samsung makes Android phones.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ooh. Ok, so can you elaborate on this?

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Samsung breaks so many things about android and makes them unequivocally worse that it's hard to call it android

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ah. Yes, I get it. I was thinking you were serious that they weren’t Android. 😆

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah just doin a little light jesting

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Totally! I didn’t downvote you btw. No idea what that is about.

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 1 points 1 week ago

Oh it's lemmy I ignore that most of the time
