Please add Metal & Swift to the title: mentioning these proprietary closed-source technologies might change peoples' expectation.

Do we really need trigger warnings for proprietary software? HN has never been a dogmatic bastion of free software.

  It's not very relevant to smartphones as a whole, it's just Apple's take on it.

  !UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME! I was triggered. I do my best to stay away from Apple altogether. I believe in a world where companies are shamed into oblivion for not allowing their software to run across all platforms. Apple doesn't work for the people, they work for the shareholders. Since I don't own any shares I'm dirt under their feet. A lot of people on HN like to talk about power and privilege but when it comes to companies like Apple they make any excuse for their blatant platform discrimination.

    You're triggered by software while female Kurdish civilians spontaneously turned into soldiers face an enemy that rapes captured females. Please for the love of God, go back to tumblr.

      Wow that was way out of left field. Am I not allowed to not like Apple because there’s a war in the middle east? Maybe you're the one who needs to go back to tumblr and stop trying to push your political agenda on everyone you come into contact with. From your comment history you seem to find any excuse you can to butt in with some lame comment about the middle east. I guess this is just an attempt to control the narrative and push your political agenda. If anyone disagrees you paint them as some kind of supporter of rape. This is something I expect from tumblr.

      Hey am I not allowed to be a bit sarcastic? So many tumblrinas use that word they've killed it's meaning. Don't blame me, blame social justice warriors.

        Poe's Law - I couldn't tell you were being sarcastic.

        Please don’t use terms like SJW here. I can’t see how it’s relevant or adds anything to the discussion.
