Sheesh, you weren’t joking about being ‘that guy’ This is bordering on some shit I’d expect to find on the apple subreddit, not an obscure leftist forum.

I’m not acting like I’m ‘enlightened’, the bit about people being ‘smarter in their choices’ or whatever was probably not needed, but I do think people are better than forking over money for a markedly inferior product just so they can have a fruit on the back of their phone. And so other people can recognize them as one of the apple clan ‘Oh dood what model of iPhone do you have dood’?

In all seriousness, I just did not like my experience with an apple phone. Like, it’s all junk with planned obselence right? I’m not going to pay twice that amount for the stupid apple logo on my phone and weaker specs. That is absolutely asinine to me. If you like apple stuff, right on. The experience wasn’t for me, it felt restricted and superficial. Very nice looking products, but there is not much going on under the hood. I think the price premium is ridiculous especially with the lower specs and screen resolution. Frankly though, it doesn’t even matter what I think tbh, a lot or even most people these days can’t afford that shit. So I still have to give it to the various developers of android phones out there, at least a laymen can afford their product. Apple on the other hand I think kind of unapologetically markets itself towards the upper middle class, which is kind of shitty IMO

You’re right, they’re all bad though just there are degrees to how bad each is. I think as far as phones go though, apple is the worst. Don’t care about laptops or any of that stuff as I believe they won’t be around much longer anyways. I think as far as phones go, apple products are a status symbol moreso than a phone.
