Android: Here's the phone; knock yourself out
Apple: Father knows best (but Father is getting old and sometimes forgets things)
Windows: If only we understood what the ancestors knew
Android is more "here's a pocket panopticon we hope you won't unconfigure"
Apple is more "here's this refined product which we designated as refined after a heavy session snooting cocaine off a toilet seat"
Just to play both sides here, on pixel there is a news feed if you swipe the home screen right. It is now infused with ai summaries rather than the first few lines of the story with no way to go back.
Course, I can switch to a different launcher, but it makes it much less of a "batteries included" sort of product.
More like: Apple: Father died a while back, but Step-Father is here now and he doesn't love you.
