Marketing is king. Don't need to be an executive of a giant company to know this.

And that explains the mystery of why people buy junk!

Sort of, iphones are far from junk.

Agree to disagree.

They're specifically designed to not last.

It's the definition of junk, brother.

Literally not the definition of junk.

I don't know about you but I still see people using old ass iphones all the time. I am one of them. They are essentially computers, how long do you want them to last? I update my CPU every 4 years and compared to most people I know that's an astronomically long period of time.

It's an interesting read. The book, I mean.

Apple is a garbage company, and I'll never buy a product from them ever.

And before you ask, I got given an Huawei phone a year ago.

I've only bought one pc ever (about 4-5years ago). Still got it.

The only good thing about Apple is they on some level make low attempts to protect privacy and data when compared to the other tech giants.

Everything else is just Apple using marketing to dupe low info consumers to fawn over their products. Basically having slaves make their products in Asia.



My PC was built in 2012 and can still play pretty much anything it needs to. Although might decide to finally start building a new one here to start the next decade.
