The downside is not for folks like us on here that can make decisions about what is good and what is bad. Apple has invested heavily in creating an experience where the common person with no mental model of how this stuff is relatively safe.
The downside is Mom somehow installs said store, and said store distributes a poker game that does something malicious. Mom blames her iPhone as that's all she knows. She doesn't separate hardware from operating system and apps like we do.

Exactly. Folks are acting as if the iPhone is the only phone.

Sony is out innovating them on every level. Faster releases, better features etc. Honestly as an enthusiast they deserve to tank. They’ve done nothing exciting in the space.

This switch from working harder and getting more tasks done versus working harder to figure out how to scale in both your professional and personal life is hard transition. As someone going through the process, I do agree this is the most critical thing. Easier said than done.

If money is the soul reason you're working, it's pretty hard to beat FAANG. Came from FAANG and now doing the startup thing. The experience you learn at startup is priceless. But don't come in thinking you'll get rich. That's the gravy part.

If only it was that simple. Apple's audience is not really us. I can't count the number of times, my mother-in-law tried to install random stuff on her PC and me having to deal with it. This is Apple's user.
