You will own nothing and be happy.

Do men really buy iphones thinking they'll get laid because of it?

I am currently switching from Mac and iPhone to PC and Android. My plan is to have a full Linux setup, but I can be happy with Windows LTSC and a Samsung phone. I still need to do financial stuff. Apple was fine for a hot minute but they keep "correcting" words ex post facto when texting. For example I will type
>why are black people so racist
and when I get to the word racist, it will change it to
>why are blank people so racist
And it does it with innocuous words, and there is no way to turn it off, the toggle no longer works or does what it is I want to do. Siri is fucking useless. Apple AI is garbage. Armshit on the desktop is infuriating.

Why are you calling niggers "black people"? Niggers are literally not human. Not trying to be rude here, just curious.

But...the lease isn't even that much cheaper from the regular monthly payment to own?
>>
>>109414584
Yeah but you don't OWN it. That makes you a goy.
>>
>>109414584
Instead of buying the phone and keeping it for 5+ years, they want you to keep paying, so you'll lease it for two years, pay the entire cost, then upgrade to the newest phone that you'll lease for two years and pay the entire cost.
You don't own it. It's not cheaper over all. You'll end up paying three or four times as much because you're "buying" a new phone more often. And it's all about locking you into continued payments.

The most efficient way to own new technology slop is to just lease it. Everyone that buys a Tesla gets raped with negative equity from the depreciation.

40% of workers making $300K-plus say they live paycheck to paycheck.
Some people are just used to paying random debt than owning shit.

>>109414668
as a starving poorfag i cannot even imagine where that much money goes
surely they don't all do wacky stonking?
is it peer pressure?

I have to not be openly racist at work and such, there is a way to get around it by using their terminology. They don't even pick up on it when you get good at it.
>>
>>109414692
hey, I am a binance bro trading in Forex, leveraging options and such. I get to spend time around these people.
1) they are house poor, they will own shit like boats and big huge pickup trucks and RVs... all of which cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per item.
2) their houses are all WAY too big. I live in a HOA in a relatively small house for the area, I spent 742k on it, paid off. Some of these homes around me are valued at 1.2m-4.3m USD.
3)all of our liquid assets go into holdings accounts above what we pay out of pocket for whatever middle class bullshit. Like I own a rifle, but some of my neighbors have like 30+ firearms, each one costing upwards of 10k
4) If you have less than a 5090 and core i9/ryzen 9900x3d they look down on you, I shit ye not, Galaxy s26 ultra/iphone 17 pro max with watches to match.
5) the women are god awful expensive, ALWAYS spending money on stupid shit.

It is all one big joneses game and I refuse to play, this in turn makes people not wanna be friends with me. There is a lot of peer pressure.

>>109414438
You could just not buy it, retard

>>109414753
oh yeah, and 3d printers and cameras and random youtube channels doing stupid shit that all costs a TON of money.

One of my neighbors just did this shit about 2-3 months ago.
Instead of helping the less fortunate, they spend every last dime they get.

>>109414753
you can't be part of the team if you aren't so overleveraged that you are fully dependent on the economy
>>
>>109414694
you seem to be brown given you think the reason someone wants something and if he can actually easily get it are the same.

also if it werent heavily targeting browns, buying something as cheap as an iphone wouldnt be specifically advertised with paying for it in parts.

also also, those stats are skewed by women, who in those countries cant afford shit because they are women, meanwhile in usa every foid whore has a iphone and there are more foid whores than women.
>>
>>109414786
I just never saw the point in spending endlessly. I have a 3d printer, and a PC and a house. The PC is a i7 with a 5060. The 3d ptinter is a p1s. The house is paid off. I am still rocking an old iphone 14+ it still works. I am going to upgrade to the s27 ultra or something with one of those nice tradein programs from the telcos. But to spend money? Why? I will do my hobbies but like I also donate to charity and help people, and that feels better than buying an RV or solar panels or whatever other stupid bullshit they all seem to want to spend money on.

I'm kind of interested in chinese devices especially huawei, harmonyOS looks interesting

Android is turning into slop
>>
>>109414956
I wouldn't even be mad if it censored the word, or stopped me from being able to write it. But to straight up change it? And it's not just this, it is just a single example of what it is. It happens infrequently, but frequent enough that it's a problem. It isn't a censorship issue, it is a
>I am apple and I know better than you do about what it is you wanna say
and it changes it WAY after the fact of me typing it. It can happen in paragraphs in emails. I work in the legal field and it is infuriating when sending emails on the go. I thought it was the iOS keyboard, but Mac OS does the same fucking shit with a physical keyboard now. And there is no way to turn it off.

>>109414646
it's also to take the phone out of the second hand market and to stop families handing down phones.
>>
>>109414646
Paying? No no no, they will give you 1100 dollars towards a new locked down model, this is more about control than it is the money.
>>
>>109415043
That too.
Hand down the phone? No, get that person into the lease too.
>>
Think I'll own whatever I like and I will be ecstatic you (and GERMANY) have no say whatsoever in the matter.

I just use my Mac mini for classical music and sysadmin work.

Sometimes I play shogun 2 on low graphics. I own it and it makes me happy.
>>
>>109414438
If I can't own it then I guess you don't want my money. shant trade even if all the goy cattle in the world do

>>109414438
I cannot fathom leasing a phone, let alone making payments on one.
Browsing social media and chatting with people is the same on a less expensive phone you aren't making car payments on.
What's to upgrade? Will angry birds enable ray tracing on the newest iphone?
Will Facebook look vastly different on the new whyphone?
>>
>>109414438
Wow those payments and terms really work for me!
>>
>>109414438
I can't wait to lease PC hardware.
