Samsung announced on Monday evening that it will host a livestreamed Galaxy Unpacked event on September 4, strategically positioning itself just five days ahead of Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 17 event on September 9.

The virtual event, scheduled for 5:30 a.m. ET (2:30 a.m. PT), will stream live on Samsung.com and the company's YouTube channel, according to an official Samsung announcement. The timing appears deliberate, as Samsung seeks to capture attention before Apple's traditional fall product launch window

Ios has full telemetry, blocks sideloading to the point it's literally making news right now for blocking iTorrent on alt store that just got forced out of Apple by EU regulators and a billion other reasons Apple is holding the society hostage for their profits.

    I’m not saying Apple is better, but being the same as Apple is not going to get anyone to switch. They have to be better. This regression is a big step back and side loading was the biggest draw to Android for me personally.

    But they are objectively better though that's beside the point tbh. Normal peoppe don't care that much about these issues unfortunately and thats why Google's Pixel event was basically a TV shop for house moms rather than highlight on side loading and freedom.

    I do agree that regression is awful with the latest Google news that they'll require developer identification for Google play protect and made me cancel my pixel 10 pre order. It's incredibly shameful eventhough it can be bypassed with 1 setting toggle for now.

    Android or Apple is objectively better? I don’t think anyone can make that claim as people have different needs and preferences.

    I was an anti Apple hater too before I learned tech tribalism is dumb.

    Saying Apple is bad is not tech tribalism. Even in this shitty duolopoly competition is good and reflecting on platform differences is what pushes them to compromise. If android didn't have side loading Apple would have never been forced to open up in europe and if Apple didn't have magsafe we would never have qi2 etc.

    It's objectively good to have conflict here unless you believe in some twisted form of accelerationism where both platforms should burn in a fire and which clearly will never happen.
