Yes, that is what Apple products have become. Add Reddit on top of that and you have a double scam.
Have become? If anything, iOS have historically been getting more customizable over time not less.
And I don’t think it’s really accurate to compare iOS with MacOSX and earlier, entirely different systems with different use cases and form factors. I’d recon if Apple released a phone in 2002 it’s be just as locked down.
Not trying to defend this by the way, just surprised by the usage of the word “become” here as if it used to be different for iPhones.
There are plenty of apps that allow you to change the app icon for free. This is entirely on Reddit.
Scamception, if you will.
It's the same on the Reddit Android app too (although the icon option in the app looks ok, the icon in the launcher is pixelated)
At least you can freely change the icon on android
