I would agree with you except for one thing.

We had a choice about whether to let them or not.

Apple needs to figure something out. China unleashed COVID on us 5 years ago and they’ve had time.

Some things will and the only ones that will care a new phone will cost that much are poors like you. Guess you have to save your tips just a bit more.

Here is a hint. You don't really need a new one every year or every other year.

Hey Grok, are iPhones made using child labor?


I mean, China says no, so let’s trust them.

They would never lie.

I upgrade my iPhone every 3 years. I know folks who upgrade every year, Android or iPhone, because they finance it through their cellphone carrier and think they are getting a bargain or not really paying for it, when realistically they are hooked. (I don’t sign contracts with cellphone carriers, I use the US Mobile MVNO.) I have asked them why and it’s just the thrill of having something new I guess but at the end of the day it’s their canoe and they can paddle it their way.

This board is weird, MAGA seems to want these jobs back in Tennessee at $15 an hour, but not in Michigan at $30 an hour.


So do you support Big Gretch who ended right to work in Michigan? Reminder that R Rick Snyder (the prior Governor) passed right to work.

Do you want forced union dues that go to dems?

It’s hilarious watching MAGA now clutch their peals…BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!


Yeah before this MAGA was full post birth abortion. I personally have been a muh cheap trinkets fan as long as I can remember. I’ll burn every small town to the ground myself if I can’t get the latest “thing” for as cheap as possible.

No matter how much it is, all the mobile carriers are going to keep giving them away for free as long as you sign up. Who da fuq pays full price for an iphone?

My god, you guys really are bad at making arguments.

What’s Nokia’s market share looking like right now?

I think the fear mongering is hilarious. When Obama scolded Steve Jobs over not manufacturing iPhones in the US nobody batted an eye. Years later somewhere in Trumps first presidency they kicked it around again and determined it would add somewhere between $30-100 per phone. Today, to manufacture an iPhone in the US the cost has apparently risen $99,970.

Here's an idea. Get of the phone, go outside and enjoy yourself.

Good thing I have Samsung


Yup. Was looking at new phones today, and Samsung has a model for $200 retail.

That's right, kids. $200 dollars. When my 5-year-old Motorola finally dies, there is still an affordable option.
