    Also that photography direction, “Like what if you made it look as poorly lit as possible by shining a flashlight on the product?”

      That’s Apple’s style. It’s their artistic way of telling you that you’re only as valuable as the products you buy.

    Do they sell one with “I’m a Fucking Moron” printed on it? Because they should.

    This is pretty egregious, but honestly anyone who wants to buy it should. They deserve to be swindled have what they paid for. Anyone who doesn’t want to buy it, won’t.

    Apple fanboy here and what the actual fuck is this? This would have been funny on April Fool’s Day. It’s now the dumbest thing I’ve seen online all day, and I’ve seen a fair few dumb things. Maybe all week.

        Yeah, step two is to buy a Pixel with iPhone 11 level performance and just not give a fuck that Google sells my personal information off the back porch.

        Nah, I don’t agree with everything Apple does. Like the Vision Pro. I get that it’s not a VR headset by Facebook and that it’s a “spatial computer.” I don’t care, it’s not what I want and I certainly don’t need it. And the iPhone Pro… it meant something before, but this generation? Base 17 is all I need. The optical zoom is a lie (it crops its main camera to get you 2x zoom) but it’s good enough for my needs. Never cared about the iPad, but my wife loves hers. HomePod is expensive but good (like Bose, though maybe not as good as Bose, I dunno). I like Macs. I like the idea that you can buy a computer and not necessarily be the product. Like yeah they all have telemetry, but I don’t have to have Candy Crush on my Mac because King… well, I guess Microsoft owns King now? Bought them with Activision. Before, it was because King bought the rights to Windows 10 users. Macs aren’t perfect, but they don’t do shit like that.

        I dunno, I’m not a brand evangelist, I just like what I like.

          I was an Apple fanboy too, but with all the bootlicking they’ve been doing, I have a feeling they will create a backdoor for Trump admin to use. I’ve jumpe to Pixel 9a with Graphene OS. I like it so far.

            I don’t give a fuck what you normies do.

            We’re all on 7-year old Androids on Lineage. Upgrade, to what? Malwarephone 14? I’m good.
