I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don't like but has an alternative?

In the US,I phone is a social status. They're judging you because it's like you don't own a car and just have a unicycle in their minds. What amazing marketing. I'm an Android pixel owner since the beginning and still am. There's some articles written about it too

It's strange as flagship Androids are just as expensive.

But there are a lot of Androids that aren't expensive, unlike iPhones.

The main advantage i see in iPhones over android phones is value retention iPhones retain their value for much longer than android phones

And frankly I prefer the camera in iPhones (the main reason I got it in the first place) however if i had the option to buy a pixel I would have got it insted but unfortunately that’s not an option in my country

Yeah Apple people are very clickie. If you don't have one you're a freak. Lol I'm fine being a freak. I never cared much about fitting in anyway. Fuck the Joneses!

It's sort of the opposite in Canada. iPhones are seen as boomer friendly devices for people that don't know what they're doing. Like those TV remotes that only have 3 huge buttons.
