think about this: to me, all you really toxic people (including the OP, for shame) against Apple are the ones looking quite brainwashed, culty, back-bitey and very small minded. probably because you are. think about that for a second before you snap reply - there ARE more than just your side to this buddy.

sounds like your daughter is a typical sheep - perhaps THAT’S the issue you ought to try having an issue with rather than a company doing normal business.

it sounds like tying your shoes probably makes your life difficult

lol the gesture controls on modern smartphones are overwhelmingly less fiddly (read: not at all) than your horrible excuses for defending an outdated piece of technology like ‘buttons’ when much better options exist.

lol back button - how freaking 2000s. buddy we just move our finger left on the screen and we go back. like are you a caveman? this is Android fans these days, crowing about obsolete pieces of their technology like it was good. it wasn’t then it really isn’t now.

y’all people that keep saying ‘status symbol’ or ‘expensive’ really haven’t bought a phone in like a decade, right? because android phones are costing the same as apple flagships. how ignorant can you be?

lol this is such a weird blanket statement that means nothing. congratulations, you can baselessly slam something you don’t like. Why are you the way you are, is the better question. iOS has clear benefits and there are a plethora of reasons of why one would choose an iPhone over the other options.

but GO OFF, random internet pleb.

guy’s a complete tool bag

this is exactly what is happening in the industry lol

maybe don’t make such a general blanket statement that anyone could take offense from, next time maybe? maybe don’t blame anyone for corporate greed except the corporates who are greeding instead of getting upset about nothing

bro we used to have everything without paying out the nose. that’s the whole point lmao, way to miss it.

you’re just glossing over what people are typing because you’re ok being shrouded in ignorance. that’s a choice, alright.

lol seriously: how the fuck do you think any of what you typed out is, ‘simple,’?

it’s not ‘simple’ because all of the companies and studios have ALL tried to make their own offerings - so ‘stuff you want to watch’ has been parceled out to 5 different streaming services, genius. can i have some of what you’re smoking or what, pal?

I disagree here, Capitalism itself didn’t provide society with jack squat.

Because this isn’t good for the consumer only short sighted leftists who love others taking control for them are cool with the government telling companies how they can make their products

Lol this is such bull shit

It’s not about motivation it’s about need

Nobody is clamoring for this accept the EU government and some right to repair fanatics who most likely don’t repair jack in their own lives and haven’t needed nor requested replacement smartphone batteries

Because nobody needs them anymore lol. Market buddy if this was something important we’d be getting it

Agreed. Too bad the 11 disagrees didn’t have the stones to voice their dissenting opinion

You don’t seem to know it, but nebulous jargon like ‘technical expertise’ can be applied to anything like using a microwave so Apple includes instructions. Not seeing how this invalidates their point

Most people did not do this nor needed to since the very beginning of cell phones

We literally do not need replaceable batteries in 2023

lol zero production costs because they’re not a production studio, genius, lmao. they do have a shit ton of overhead costs though - look into it instead of acting like it costs nothing to be the largest video hosted site on the planet.
