    If having more features in a phone for the same price makes me somehow niche, then I’m happy (and actually proud) to say I’d rather be in the “0.01%”

    Apple’s marketing is apparently so effective in the US and Europe that they have successfully managed to convince the majority of people that commonplace features aren’t relevant anymore, when that’s really not the case, it’s just so they can further their exclusivity and planned obsolescence crusade. 📈💰

    Not really, no “conservative mantra” intended. Quite the opposite… I was just charged thousands of dollars recently to fix my tooth even though I had insurance, not long after being charged other thousands for an unfortunate accident where I broke my leg.

    The American healthcare system has no problem bankrupting you or me.
