Yep, I don’t give a shit about AirDrop or even use the ecosystem. Just iPhone and AirPods.

iPhone because I am a discerning consumer whose current life needs fit it better. AirPods because they are best in class for iPhones (yes due to anti consumer policies). In college sure I customized the heck out of my androids.

Now I just want something that runs fast and reliably browses the internet. AdGuard takes care of the rest.

I used to buy proper Samsung/LG flagship Androids and absolutely loved them for my needs at the time. But every single one went to complete shit after 2 years. Huge battery drain, slow and unresponsive, no updates.

My iPhone is 3.5 years old, still blazing fast, battery drain consistent with degradation, still getting updates, still no need to get a new phone.

This entire debate is literally the bell curve soyjack meme lmao but I had fun typing at least!
