   it is an ad hominem attack. it's all you can do.   
      
   the fact is that ipad screen sizes have increased.

   diversion noted, and your claim is also false.

   no they don't, because doing that removes a *significant* amount of   
   functionality.

   nobody claimed that, and it wasn't true the last zillion times you said   
   it either.   
      
   > You can turn off the location tracking, nospam. Well, you can't.   
   > You're on iOS.   
      
   false.   
      
   unlike on android, turning off location on ios actually turns it off.   
      
   > The iPhone won't work for most people without Apple tracking built in.   
      
   apple doesn't track people.   
      
   but even if we are to assume your statement as true, android won't work   
   'for most people' without a google account.   
      
   > HINT: You don't need a Google account to download apps on Android

   they do not, as has been explained to you many times.

   yawn. how many times are you going to embarrass yourself?   
      
   universal control, sidecar, stage manager, hover, fald display and a   
   wealth of ipad-native software.   
      
   unlike on ipad, android tablet apps are almost always phone apps on a   
   big screen, and it shows (not in a good way).   
      
   cue trademark rant, further proof you're lost.   
      
   > HINT: Look at Jolly Roger's bullshit about 1Blocker I recently tested.   
      
   you don't know how it works so any tests you might have done are void.

   you're also not afraid to fabricate a baseless conspiracy theory as to   
   why it happens, without knowing any of the details.
