    There is a lot that I don't understand in this but the one that is screaming loudest is 'Why the fuck are people on Venmo that much? '.

    I want to see this again but remove all the forced installed apps and only shown apps that people download.

    None of those apps come on iPhones.

    Many Android phones are subsidized by apps and ads but that’s nothing new. Which ones come with which apps is anyone’s guess.

    Texting is bloatware now? Flip phones came with the ability to text.

    iMessage is just a service tacked on for enhanced messaging, but the app itself is just the texting app.

    the imessage functionality is, anyway I havent seen SMS ever used in practice in the last 10 years with the exception of "verify phone number" for account creation

    That doesn't qualify an SMS app as bloatware. It's still considered a standard feature of a phone.

    The fact that it has enhanced features is beside the point. Google's has web sync (as in, you can message in a browser). This doesn't make it bloatware either. It's the system texting app. It's a bona fide part of the communication suite.

    35-44 is shown twice and the content is different in both columns. This is not data, this is rubbish

    why did they stop at 45+? they should have at least taken it a few intervals higher. a 45yo is often more tech literate than their kids and parents. strange to group them with 65 year olds who never grew up with PCs.

    0/10 for my age group. I have a couple of the top apps in younger groups though.

    2/10, not bad. And since I use NewPipe for my YouTube needs, arguably 1/10.

    Fucking Amazon though...

    Fucking Amazon. They're dominating the replacement parts and hardware market so much that even the big box stores are decreasing their inventory for stuff I need daily for my job. Whatever I need, Amazon can get it to me faster and cheaper than anybody else - I know why and I hate that is the case. I am forced to participate to stay solvent in my work, forced to participate in the "land of the free."

    "AI" making such impressions on the olds is terrifying.

    I’m 0/10 on apps, but use a couple of those in Firefox with good ad blocking.
