Obviously only because it's otherwise a meh-experience to boot the phone for the first time. Apple has become so desperate. But them doing this also says a lot about their customers.... Getting fooled so easily.

This is cool. Didn't Motorola do this with the Moto X like a decade ago? I THINK that's the phone because I think I added it in Moto Maker.


My first thought on this is that SOMEONE is going to find a way to be offended because they'll say, "WHY DID YOU PUT MICHAEL ON MY PHONE!?!?! I GO BY MIKE!" or something stupid like that. It will be a VERY very very small minority, but they'll find a way to be offended. Ohhhh and the first person to get deadnamed... oh my.


But for me, this would be a very cool touch. My Huawei says "Brian is Cool" every time I turn it on. I'm glad it recognizes that.

I hope it's a one-time thing. Imagine selling the phone to someone else later and them seeing your name on the boot up screen. Wouldn't be surprised if they would think you messed with the phone if they don't know about it.

US only, because the rest of the world has enough brain for not to buy that thing

That was my thought too. Factory-reset should wipe it.

The first thing you learn in Python 101: print("Hello, World!")

Hey, between this unique customization, and the animation we have already seen, Apple users are getting way more than their moneys' worth.
