    When can I get an iPhone without iMessage being preinstalled? Microsoft is, if anything, late to the party on this kind of anti-user BS.

      Or any of the i shit on there. And can you still not even change the default app for some things?

        Last I checked, opening links in iOS with alternate browsers is very app-specific and requires a hack using a different protocol. E.g. Chrome registers itself as a handler for the “httpChrome” protocol and the app needs to do Open("httpChrome://lemmy.ml"). It’s far worse than anything Microsoft did with IE back when they got sued.

      Someone wants a choice, yet chooses platform that does not provide a choice? Wondering if there is any other platform that allows you to customize your phone. Hmmm. 🤔🤔🤔

        Hooooooold on, let me be crystal clear: I’m never buying an iPhone.

        The point was that if the EU is going to go on an anti-bundling campaign, there’s a long line ahead of MS Teams of more egregious behavior.
