    At risk of sounding like a pretentious fuck, I do actually lose a tiny amount of respect for someone when I learn they have an iphone. It’s like baby’s first smartphone, great for elders and children.

      That IS pretentious as fuck. How shallow do you have to be to judge people based on what electronics they own?

      I mean, that is a bit pretentious, TBF.

      I used to look down on people who got iPhones, but I realised it’s not their fault, there isn’t much choice when it comes to good, dependable, usable smartphones that have years of updates. I’m a Pixel owner, and it’s basically the same thing from the other side. Backed by one of the richest companies. The same goes with Samsung, although I personally find their phone software to be really mid.

        I upgraded my iPhone XR to a 13 mini last year. I was close to choosing something running Android, but ultimately I just don’t want to jump that far in with Google. And really, there’s not much of an alternative out there.
