I can afford Apple products. I dont buy them, because, fuck Apple.

If someone offered me a free iPhone on the condition that I use it, I'd decline.

I did get given a free iPhone! I opted not to use it.

  • Terrible email client options
  • Can't rearrange your home screen beyond changing the icon order a bit
  • Firefox is just Safari with a groucho marx fake nose and glasses
  • Notifications are laughable by comparison
  • Share options are laughable by comparison
  • Camera is supposed to be better than any Android device ever invented, yet somehow managed to take blurry photos ~50% of the time so I'd end up taking 6 photos in every situation to make sure I got one where you could use it. I may be an edge case here as I'm mostly taking photos of name plates and technical documents where crisp detail is super important... iOS just wanted to make pretty colours and boke the world, even if it meant half a name plate was in focus and the back was artificially blurred for that sweet Instagram professional photographer look.
