    By definition, iPhone owners don’t mind paying ridiculous prices for things they can get for free.

        The iPhone hate is hilarious to me. I used androids for years. Galaxies and Pixels. Without fail before two years old they were slow hot pieces of shit with terrible battery degradation

        I decided to try iPhones. On a 12 pro since release. It just fucking works and battery has remained great. Sure it’s dropped to 80% capacity compared to release. But guess what. When it hits 79 apple will warranty it for me

        I’ve spent less on phones since switching to iPhone than I ever did when using android

          I don’t hate the iPhone. I hate Apple for taking advantage of people who don’t know any better.

          At this point they have a captive audience of computer-illiterate users who are trapped in the Apple ecosystem, forced to pay obscene amounts of money when their flimsy chargers die, because they literally cannot fathom how to use any UI more complicated than pressing a single button over and over again until their device does what they want.

          (And they hold their resale value really well. And the support windows are insane by comparison. I’m just saying 🤷‍♀️)
