Just a regular story how one dumb comment made me into a better person.
Why do people keep defending Apple like it's their abusive partner? I keep asking this question and they all would rather buy a phone that can't run multiple task, lags a lot, slow charging, drains the battery to 0 and still uses it while charging causing them to buy a new battery rather than switch to a phone that has fast charging…
And I realize something, it's like loving someone from the past but he doesn't love you back. Some people forces the relationship like a toxic marriage and ignores the red flags and still chooses to tolerate them. Like apple's iphone 17 128GB storage space phone for 999usd, and an extra 200 dollars for an iphone 17 pro max with 256GB storage for… 1199 usd.
And you aren't able to see and find new people who is just as good, charming, and perfect as the old one and it could be better if you decide to change.
Apple users are like stans following people who don't like them back/have exes they can't get over/relationships that should have happened and it never did… So to not turn into a mindless zombie in the rest of your life, you move to Android or other better brands that don't waste your time or money, or put you in debt for the rest of your life just to scroll instagram and look at other's achievement and make your own goals than make fake/makebelieve ones.
I need to focus on myself first then when I'm ready I'll find someone who is better… Heck, it could be someone who looks like him but more handsome, cuter, or just as good since he has so many look-a-likes or explore further more on what my types are.
He was a good guy but he doesn't show it to me love, just hints, regrets, and running away.
That's all thanks.
Bonus! Here me out: "The Apple ecosystem as a whole is superior to Android, but you sort of have to go all-in. When you have multiple Apple products, they work together so seamlessly that its basically impossible to go back without giving certain niceties up."
Apple is that ex/crush you can't quit. They're so good at making you special you bought a watch, a MacBook, another iphone, and other apple gears making it easy to share and access files, send messages, photos… Then that pattern starts to show all the red flags, it starts slowing down, the frames went from 90 to 60fps, the battery life starts to decay, everything is so slow…. All because the iPhone decided to update trapping you in a toxic dilemma and you saw Apple's true face but you decided to ignore it calling others delulu if they try to talk you out. It's like someone you know turned into a zombie or being devoured by zombies but they want to drag you down with you even if they are aware of what's happening putting others in danger. The more you invest, the harder it is to leave

I’m glad you removed yourself from a situation you didn’t want to be in
Wat.
Uhh ma’am this is a Wendy’s
You connect your calendar, you add your contacts, you reopen the same 4-10 apps and do some web browsing, and then you attach your personality to the OS. They all basically do the same shit. Once you get comfortable with basic gestures and navigation, it sometimes feels more annoying to switch than to keep going with what you know. Improvements on mobile devices more often incremental rather than industry changing and everyone incrementally hones in on the same features that the market responds positively to over time. The debate is weird
I had iphones for a while, two or three years ago I found myself in need of a new phone. Went to verizon. (My carrier)
At the time the newest model iphone was about two thousand dollars, and the previous model was like seventeen hundred.
I said to myself, “lol, absolutely no fucking way”. Found out walmart was selling a model of an android phone (new for that time) for three hundred dollars. So I bought one.
Was it the greatest, newest, top of the line everything? No.
Has the camera, battery, internet capabilities, and literally everything else about the phone been just perfectly fine? Yup.
It was frustrating learning a new operating system, But I didn’t have to give apple any money, (because fuck them) and it was a seventh of the price.
Looking back, it’s one of the best decisions. i’m definitely going to go this route again if I have the chance to next time I need a phone.
The irony is, i just bought a brand new desktop computer last week.
New monitor, printer, everything.
If i still had an apple phone I probably would have considered an apple computer. But like you said, if i’m not buying apple everything, then what’s the fucking point. I’m sure I will be happy with what i got.
Well, that’s a whole lot to say, Just to get to this one point.
I was judging you a bit at first for this post, because I was thinking, why the hell would someone care So much about what kind of phone their partner has?
But then I realized that I would also probably be pretty annoyed if my partner was trying to convince me to spend five times as much on a product that’s only one percent better.
Just completely different viewpoints and values. If I had a partner that thought they needed or wanted the best of the best of the best of the best of everything I would know We would just not work out.
To me that feels selfish and performative. My personal value does not come from status symbols, So if hers did, that’s just not going to work.
