when it launched

Yes. That right there. I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps and I like it much better. Hell, even the GPS doesn’t play catch up nearly like what Google Maps does. Speed limits are posted for like every street so I know it before I see a sign. It’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than Google Maps as well.

I had the OG Droid, did all the rooting and ROMing on my phones, and went up to the Samsung S8 until I switched. I don’t miss Android, but I’m not a power user either.

A little strange that you think Samsung makes Android phones.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Ooh. Ok, so can you elaborate on this?

[–] balance8873@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Samsung breaks so many things about android and makes them unequivocally worse that it's hard to call it android

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Ah. Yes, I get it. I was thinking you were serious that they weren’t Android. 😆

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)
