Chinese shopping app Temu was once again the most downloaded free app in the U.S., according to a list of top apps and games across the App Store released by Apple on Monday. The shopping app moved into the No. 1 slot last year, stealing the position from TikTok which held the title in in 2022.

well it makes sense, having an iPhone and using temu are both extremely consumerist things to do. overpriced, yet (outwardly) polished looking items that have been heavily marketed as status symbols, like apple devices, is peak consumerism. on the other side, you have unpolished, mass produced trash for cheap. also peak consumerism, just on the other side of the spectrum.
