Summary

用户解释自己将主力手机从苹果换成安卓的原因：不满 Apple 不提供好用的语音输入，也不允许第三方键盘获取麦克风权限，却允许键盘跳转应用或使用浮窗获取后台权限。

The reason I switched my main phone from Apple to Android is incredibly simple it's all because of the voice input method issue I just can't stand that Apple doesn't make a decent voice input method themselves and won't even grant microphone access to third-party keyboards claiming it's to protect privacy but then they allow third-party keyboards to jump to another app, letting that app run persistently in the background or use floating windows to grab background permissions what's the meaning of that I don't believe there's no solid tech solution to grant mic access while still protecting privacy instead forcing users to juggle apps like some circus act with one piece of software so just thinking about it pisses me off and I can't even just not use it
