    Eh, not really. I buy Apple because I’ve had 3 Android phones crap out on me literally days after their warranty died. I got tired of that shit, I paid a bit more and got myself an iPhone 13. It still works as good as it did on the first day. While I do know that Apple devices have a set death day (when they stop getting security updates), I believe I generate far less e-waste by buying 1 iPhone every 7 or 8 years instead of buying a brand new Android every year.

    As far as Fortnite goes, I don’t care for the game itself, but I am happy that they fought Apple in court and gave developers the freedom to implement third party IAP, albeit I have no use for it as I only use my phone for phone calls and messaging and the occasional web browsing.

      What a disingenuous arguement.

      You said you paid more for an iPhone, which means you were buying cheap Android phones and then complaining that they don’t last. Well yeah, because they’re cheap.

      You can buy Android phones that make iPhones look like the budget option if you want to, I’m not advising it but it’s possible.
