Man... I, respectfully, disagree so hard with Ben here. Live Photos are one of my favorite features on iOS hands-down. If you have kids -- you can't take photos without it. I can't count the number of times I've adjust the Live Photo to account for movement, blinking, etc. Not

Does anyone actually like ‘Live Photos’ feature on iOS? I’ve never seen a situation where it added anything meaningful to the picture. I’ve had it turned off for literally years now though so maybe I’m missing out? 🤷‍♂️

I think it is RIDICULOUS that when I buy an iPhone, I'm forced to use iOS. I should be allowed to install Android! Apple has an unfair advantage! The EU shouldn't stop at alternate app marketplaces or removing the Photos app! If it wasn't clear... this is sarcasm.
