Please add Metal & Swift to the title: mentioning these proprietary closed-source technologies might change peoples' expectation.

Do we really need trigger warnings for proprietary software? HN has never been a dogmatic bastion of free software.

It's not very relevant to smartphones as a whole, it's just Apple's take on it.

!UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME!

I was triggered. I do my best to stay away from Apple altogether. I believe in a world where companies are shamed into oblivion for not allowing their software to run across all platforms.

Apple doesn't work for the people, they work for the shareholders. Since I don't own any shares I'm dirt under their feet.

A lot of people on HN like to talk about power and privilege but when it comes to companies like Apple they make any excuse for their blatant platform discrimination.
