    No brand shaming here. There is nothing wrong. People with low self esteem need fancy stylish bling bling stuff. For these people an iPhone is nothing more than an accessory, you must have, because without you are not a cool kid and your life is meaningless. /s

    Who cares about technical features if you live in this broken self esteem world?

    This, just as an example for not doing the technical discussion with apple people.

      lol I work in tech and plenty of my colleagues and I have iPhones and we’re more technical than 99.9% of the population, including Android users.

      We’re just thinking about tech that isn’t phones so we don’t give a shit about the refresh rate or clock speeds. We’re not gaming on the damn thing.

      I’ve got a computer for that.

          And that is a bad thing?

          My Xbox and PlayStation and Switch are also “closed ecosystems” and I like them too.

        But then why spend so much money on a phone? I also don’t care about the specs of my phone, but this means I usually buy some $100 phone that gets the job done for a couple years.

        I genuinely don’t see a reason why someone would buy an iPhone besides as a fashion accessory/ status symbol
