Bigger distinction: Kids with computers vs. kids with “smart” devices.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 57 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I feel that is the difference we're seeing though. Younger kids who generally live on smart devices have lower tech literacy.

And apple phones are "smart devices"

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why insert the qualifier there?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Because my phone isnt a smart device. Its a dumb device that does nothing by itself and everything i tell it to do. It allows me to remove things i dont like without self destructing and locking me out. It works offline without complaining. It doesnt spy on me.

That doesn’t really answer my question. I’m going to conclude that you just have some personal issue with Apple.

I wouldn't blame them. It's really difficult to do anything Apple hasen't planned for on their tablets.
