And looking for reasons to buy new versions of things: phones, laptops, gaming devices, etc. Bonus points if they're on the edge of not being able to afford it at all.

    I had a friend's dad make fun of me for using an Android, and I was like, 'Iphones are made with the idea that you are a stupid little child who will break any software you touch. If it wasn't for the shit-tier build quality, I would literally assume they were made for babies-first-technology like a Leap Pad. If you like it, it says more about your technological literacy than mine, I'd probably have to jailbreak it immediately to get basic cross platform functionality out of it.'

    Needless to say, I haven't been invited back for dinner there. Still friends with the guy though.

      My go-to response to any sort of smart phone slapfighting is “they’re all made in the same Foxconn plant.”
