It’s honestly kinda embarrassing.
The fanbase is coming off as so childish and spoiled. The Patriots were a super bowl contender for 20 years straight… won 6 of them, got to 9. Fuck man we’ve won a Super Bowl less than 6 years ago.
I honestly wonder how much the national and regional media wants to see him gone for the storyline and the fact that they just hate him.
I know the bubble color plays some part but it extends to Airdrop, Facetime, iCloud features, etc… that are Apple exclusive.
No kid wants to be the one that tells them they can’t Facetime with their group, etc or do be like “Hey uh can you email me those pics dude”. Then that goes further, how Airpods work and are a “fashion” symbol, Apple Watch, etc.
Part of the issue with Android, coming from someone who was an Android user from 2009-2021 is that it lost it’s identity. Instead of striving to be a different solution, that offered different, better functionality it followed a lot of what Apple did. So it’s now gotten a reputation of being a second rate clone.
Like, the original Droid commercial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e52TSXwj774
It listed off at the time serious things the iPhone wasn’t doing like flash, high res video, high res screen, apps, lots of stuff.
Obviously most of that isn’t relevant anymore but outside of the better zoom on a Samsung I can’t think of a single feature I’d want from recent Android competition.
Most of the draft experts here on /r/patriots are looking at drafts a year or two later and going “OMG WE COULD HAVE HAD (PLAYER) INSTEAD OF (DRAFTED PLAYER” in hindsight, as if a bunch of other teams also didn’t pass on that player, etc.
