Why do you wrap your identity up in which Megacorporation you buy buy your shitty, overpriced, but sadly necessary device from?

Overpriced? Given the capabilities of your average smartphone, they're astonishingly cheap for what they are.

Based on what metric? The constant need to replace them due to built in obscelecence? The pay of the workers how make it? The ones who mine the rare minerals? Or just the massive profits that the Corporation and it's CEOs glean off it?

They'd have been a supercomputer twenty years ago, and magic forty years ago. They're an astonishing piece of technology.

Also, I tend to get a good few years out of a phone, and tend to retire them because of drop damage. I don't know what planned obsolescence you're talking about.

You're not aware of planned obscelecence... But you still argue. Look it up. And you still think it's about cost when Apple is posting record profits... You need to I form yourself before arguing based on emotions and not facts.

You've shown no evidence whatsoever to back up your claims here.

I don't need to show evidence. They are literally passing laws against it. It's common knowledge. If you can't be arsed to google it, then it's on you if you're ignorant to common facts.

Once again, making claims with nothing to back it up.

Who? What laws? Has anyone been caught doing it?
