Guess that’s like those dating profiles that people post online once in a while where the woman demands a height, weight, and income before they even consider talking to a man. At least that’s up front and honest, even if it’s shallow.

I really don’t understand the social cache of an iPhone. It’s overpriced tech. I’d rather someone say right off the bat that they won’t talk to somebody who doesn’t have an iPhone. No need to deal with someone so superficial and interested in wasting money on shit specifically because they want it for showing off how much money they spent.

They just don't want to remember their own phone charger everytime you hangout.

Apple had a hand in developing the standard but then didn't like it because it was open source. Ironic they're forced to use it now.

Meanwhile, there are Android phones that cost more than the iPhone Pro Max, whatever it's called.

The difference is those phone bring it. S23 ultra smokes any I phone in terms of usability. I can imagine having an iPhone as my mobile office

iPhones are literally only usable as phones. Trying to do anything complicated with them is a nightmare. Back when I last had an iPhone you literally couldn't even install a swipe keyboard.

Troll much?

That’s a pretty absurd take. The phone portion of the iPhone is probably the least used feature on my device.

No, they don’t let you customize them outside of what apple says you can do (one of the things I hate about apple is how restrictive they are because they assume customers are idiots and apple wants extreme control of its image, and customers like being treated like idiots), but they are pretty much as useful as any smart phone or tablet. There definitely are some caveats to that, but you need to be looking for pretty advanced tools before you run into barriers on iOS devices.

The fact that an app has to be on the Apple app store in order to be installable is what makes them useless to me.

Apple indoctrinated and hooked them into this mindset early in middle school with iMessage green bullying bubbles
