And you are wrong, and you proved it in your own post. It is true. Look it up. You are extremely privileged, and I know that simply because you’re defending Apple’s cost.
None but the richest, most privileged people can afford phones that cost hundreds of dollars. Again, look it up, it’s objective truth.
There are three objectively false claims in this sentence as well.
Buy and enjoy apple if you want to (and please recycle them responsibly) but don’t try to sell snake oil to me. People buy $3 phones because they aren’t useless, because they do provide return on investment, and because they aren’t “unsafe” by any meaningful measure. You and I are hyperprivileged - remember the phone market includes subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and people who are even worse off, and many of those people need their $3 phones far more than my daughter needs her $600 iphone that she’s had to have repaired twice now.
Fair enough, I can only provide circumstantial evidence. The term “security nightmare” was relative to the existing conversation - my mac certainly cannot be allowed out on the global internet, but my discontinued Android tablet (which, in the previous conversation, was reviled as unbelievably insecure) gets security updates in a timely fashion and has never been in danger.
