WHY DOES THIS POST GET EVEN WORSE EVERY TIME I SEE IT
“lol Android users be like-” your phone is designed to break down after a year, your apps are all programmed to draw unnecessary power after 2 years, all your accessories and hardware are arbitrarily made with only 1 kind of plug in mind so you can’t use them with anything else or get them from anywhere else, the cables are 150$ and break in a year, your phones will not charge if there is lint in the port, the stores will ask you for 150$ to remove that lint, the phone itself is 900$
But your chat bubbles are blue so that balances it out right
they literally removed the audio plugin and called it a benefit that it can now only work with their arbitrary wireless headphones. They coloured the phones a pinky gold and sold it for twice as much.
This isn’t a drag against you this is a drag against apple, the company. Their products are price hiked to an insane, impossible degree. They aren’t selling you the product, they are selling you the superiority of being able to smugly say you have an iphone.
They deliberately built up a culture of apple supremacy (especially as a class barrier but i aint even gonna go into that), and now people are making posts like “lmao android users have a bad camera” (they dont) or “lmao android users send bad snapchats” (the android version of snap is deliberately coded to force lower resolution images in order to, surprise, get people saying that exact thing to further encourage #iphoneculture)
Buy an iphone if you want lord knows I’ve bought frivolouss things but can you PLEASE recognize youre being deceived??? theyre playing you every single time you make a post about your iphone and buy into their culture to squeeze more and more money out of you and divide the market and inevitably the classes.

Here’s a handy graph for where the value goes in the sale of an iPhone. 58% of a sale is profit for Apple, while the workers who assemble the phone in China receive the equivalent of 1.8% of the value. It’s much the same with Samsung should Android users decide to be Like That
i think that in part, it’s a culture of disposability; why make something that can last for years, when you can make something last only two, and release a new product every couple of years with minor improvements to be used as a status symbol. i have an iPhone i bought second-hand 3 or 4 years ago, and it still works fine. no one needs a new phone every year, and the increased demand has resulted in exploitative sweatshop labour and unethical and environmentally unsustainable plundering of natural resources. this isn’t an issue specific to apple, it’s something every major electronic manufacturer does.
