apple has their users so trained it’s actually genuinely sad. only apple fans would go on articles about Apple flat out admitting that they slow down older phones around the launch of new ones and say “lmao but the cameras on androids are bad :)”
the entirety of apple products is just an example of how we’ll never be able to stop capitalism because if it goes any further we’ll just accept it. like there is no reasonable explanation to the fact that people will pay 30 dollars for something that cost 50 cents to make other than that we are complacent in our own societal demise
“we slow phones down on purpose” “we took out the headphone jack so now you have to pay for adapters” “we literally took out the USB DRIVE. on a LAPTOP. and are charging 40 bucks for a mini usb cable that is functionally useless” “oh we also pay our workers 10% of a fucking living wage”
people: ok cool as long as the message bubble is blue
My mac charger is dead. i actually heard it crackle, hiss and then a small pop when i plugged it in.
Apple makes shitty chargers, I had to buy a new laptop charger after a few months and I’ve had to buy several iPad chargers. I don’t know how they get away with it
Money.
They’ll consistently make it shitty because they know their consumer base will give in and just keep rebuying the product.
because people buy overpriced shit because there’s a logo on it
If you in any way express your admiration or even preference of apple products to android phones you’re classist and the reason silicon valley capitalism thrives
Iphone fans better reblog this lmao
Android users trying to send snaps during the revolution
I’m always confused by this joke because…like, something admirable about Android is that they team up with companies who make affordable phones for people who can’t afford high-end smart phones. Android is an OS, it has nothing to do with shitty camera quality? They’re pretty much doing what Apple would never do (yeah, because they’re classist and racist af) which is giving poor people access to smart phone tech, so that they can interact with their peers even if they’re doing so on a shitty phone and not a Samsung Edge 8 (which is the higher end of phones that run Android). Like idk y’all can laugh at these jokes but let’s not pretend they aren’t rooted in classism and a lack of understanding of the difference between an OS and a phone lmao.
In all seriousness if i remember correctly sometimes its not even the cameras fault that snaps look so bad on android, its just that the way snapchat was written for android (by the snapchat developers) literally takes screenshots of your screen or something like that. still
i hate to burst ur bubble but making apps for android is 1000% easier than it is for iOS. on android there’s open-source development software you can use, but if you want to make an app for iphones, you have to go through licensing and registration hell just to get it on the app store, and you have to use their proprietary devkit to develop it
the fact that this stuff isnt common knowledge is unsettling to say the least
you think die hard apple fans got common knowledge or any phone knowledge at all when they use a phone a monkey could use and think samsung the only company on the android flagship?
The real tool against classism: FUCKING BASIC KNOWLEDGE
It’s called getting a fucking job and saving up. wth??? I’m not rich but I managed my money and saved up to be able to afford something nice. My friend got an iPad as a gift for Xmas and she’s struggling to get through each day. What about her? Does she owe you anything? Absolutely the fuck not. Fuck outta here with that bs.
^^^ Excuse me, but I couldn’t help but notice that you posted about how you have a habit of buying clothes off tumblr ads (meaning retail price). So you’re clearly not impoverished, and neither am I. And so what if we aren’t? Could we please stop acting like being poor is some kind of badge of honor? Most of us are just bunch of kids who have never experienced real poverty or homelessness (as evidenced by the fact that we have any time to devote to tumblr whatsoever). And if you have experienced it, I’m sorry, I don’t know your story or your struggle, but you also don’t know mine. I’m not gonna sit here and not defend myself and those being attacked just because you all think $120 (lowest price of AirPods I found with a quick eBay search, I’d be happy to link it) is a lot of money. FYI I live in a state & region with one of the highest costs of living in the country. Minimum wage here is $8.60/hr and I was getting paid $9. Even on that, I could still afford to buy, yes, AirPods, after a few paychecks, and with a little discipline and patience. Trust me, I’m not happy that all of us feel like we can’t have the things that would make us happy and simplify our lives. I’m just making the best of what I have & doing my best, and not attacking folks who are either more fortunate or work harder (A.K.A. spend less time on tumblr) than I am/do. I give what I can and make time to volunteer and to donate, and yes, I even throw a few bucks to content creators like us when I am able to. But let me be the one to say that nobody owes you or I anything just because they were $120-150 fortunate at one point in their lives.
End rant.
you really expect me to read all this shit? if you got airpods you are a bitch
Who the hell pays 120 bucks for earphones? Shit, that’s what my whole smartphone costs.
Excuse me but whomst the fuck said anything about hating airpods solely because of inability to afford them? They’re a class statement sure (like “name brand” clothing) but like.. that’s far from the only reason to hate airpods lol
Apple is an amazing case of falling from grace because they starting out priding themselves as rebels and marketing to the people that wanted to stand out.
Now they’ve become the sort of evil and oppressive corporation they used to attack in their advertising.
Both of my step brothers seriously think air pods aren’t awful and that Apple is in any capacity worth having and I really don’t know what to do with them because just.. no
Like.. even if the technology (camera, speed, storage) is/were better, why would I want a phone with no headphone jack or home button? Why would I want a phone by a company that makes their stuff to break after a certain amount of time? Why?
This blog is anti Apple
