Android market share (as of the end of 2024) stands at 70.93%, while iPhone market share for the same period is 29.07%

That kinda misses the point, though. Just because iOS may or may not have a minority of the Chess.com community (I don’t know and won’t pretend I do), doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve the same features everyone else has.

@lieutenantfrankcolumbo you say that like 30% of the market isn’t a considerable amount.

The multiple pre-move function sure would be nice, I agree. I play on iOS and blitz/bullet time scrambles are painful ...

I am simply suggesting a reason why if as the OP states the site does not include some features.

I once wrote a compiler for my Apple IIe. Unfortunately, the operating system was ProDOS, propietary, unlike its chief competitor, MS-DOS, so I couldn't sell it without permission. I tried to get permission but I think that just made them laugh... ha ha
I've hated Apple ever since and mostly bash them every chance I get

"Apple now has the most hostile developer ecosystem of any major platform. Endless bureaucracy, shifting rules and poor support make building apps for Apple a high-risk endeavour. And frequent updates to Apple's operating systems necessitate constant app maintenance, often requiring developers to rewrite major portions of code just to keep their apps compatible and functional."

It's both. But it's not a phone brand

The real reason would be poor dev strategy. But what would a dumb bunny know?

Nothing new. Flairs have always been more important. Boohoo

It is not both. It's an operating system. Period. That's what "OS" stands for.
Why can't an operating system be a brand?

It's not illegal. But, in this case, it is not. iOS is the operating system used by Apple (brand) mobile devices.
How is it Illegal sometimes? Apple is the company, iPhone is the phone and iOS is the OS. They're all brands.

Plus, iOS has recently been hit with a huge exclusive nerf to Daily Game Chat. They now show fewer messages (anything further than 10 messages back gets hidden) while everyone else still gets a usable chat interface. It's truly saddening and I don't see any reason for it. (It was fine before, but they nerfed it exclusively on iOS for seemingly no reason.)
