![]() ![]() ![]() I'm going to have to disagree with you here. >This is the kind of thing that Android people like to complain about, but the complaint is based in a failure to appreciate that iOS doesn't work like Android. It's not a failure of iOS that they don't work with Android. There are additional avenues for photo sharing between two iOS devices, but those are features of the platform. In neither case is a third party service required. Sharing photos between phones is most often done via messaging or email. Complaining about that is like complaining that the original Mac had no command line. There's only very limited interaction with the file system in iOS. This is the kind of thing that Android people like to complain about, but the complaint is based in a failure to appreciate that iOS doesn't work like Android. >Case in point, I wanted to transfer a pic from an Android phone to an IPhone and was surprised to find that ios doesn't allow bluetooth file transfer! I interact with ALL SORTS of other systems via established or even proprietary protocols using my iOS devices. >Any sort of basic interaction outside of their own ecosystem even through established standards and protocols is made difficult or impossible. I was reading Logic Pro on iPad comments a day ago and "iOS folks" instead of being enraged at Apple giving peanuts in terms of capability on a fully capable device (that too after years and then not opening it up for other devs), they were going crazy as if Jesus just made third appearance on the fruit company website. I mean for heaven's sake Apple keeps devices so limited and they themselves don't write softwares to fully utilise a device's capacities and features and don't let anyone else write them. So maybe "iOS folks" should reach out to Apple talking about why softwares like Syncthing (which is top notch!) is not on "iOS". Mobius Sync does a trillion workarounds to give a semblance of being on iOS. Let's just look at Syncthing not being on iOS - Apple makes sure things like Syncthing can't be on iOS. He also founded and ran a marketing/PR agency for five years, specializing in digital creative services.Is there anything that is a dealbreaker for "iOS folks"? If usability would have been a dealbreaker they might not have been on iOS in the first place.
