(I’m trying to adjust my shopping habits for quality, long-lasting goods from reputable brands. This isn’t some hailcorporate thing)

    Man I was all in in that “walled garden”. Desktop, laptop, iPad, etc And then Apple bricked my 4S as soon as the 5C was released. I’d had the phone less than a year, paid cash for it, and then they just fuckin ruin it for the lols. So I could go buy a new 5C. Fuck that. That’s destruction of my property. They had a class action over it, which they lost, which is good but gee, thanks for the $19 on a $600 phone. Any company that would greenlight that kind of shit is unethical to its core.

    Fuck everything about Apple. I won’t use their products ever again. Why pay premium prices for Samsungs 2 year old components in clearance? Cuz that, along with the rotating circle/squircle iOS illusion of change is what the iPhone is. Apple hasn’t innovated well since Jobs died.

      My partner had their 4s for years after I got my 5s, I have no idea what happened to your phone… they probably had it for four years. I used my 5s for 5.5 years. Battery issue, they replaced for free.
