3 years sober, but she hasn’t started her recovery into not being cringe yet it seems.

Statistically that is untrue. They might choose the new color because they like it, but as cited elsewhere in this thread, iPhones actually stay in people’s hands more than Android devices, which would seem to suggest the frequent color changes are not a relevant factor when upgrading.

What are you smoking? This sub is incredibly toxicly anti-Apple. Look at like… the last week for 420 examples.

Sorry for the tragic loss of having a slightly different color than you like on your phone. Thoughts and prayers.

Maybe they have an iPhone 8 right now? That doesn’t mean they’re trashing a brand new phone for it. But also- one person does not a sweeping generalization make.

Not saying you’re wrong per se, but saying “innovation is dead” about the product after the one that’s still not even released is a bit of a bold statement. That generation could be the one to upload your brain to the cloud. Probably not, but you probably shouldn’t call innovation dead based off rumors of an un-announced phone.

It doesn’t really hurt anyone to have both. But also- just put a case on like everyone else if the color offerings offend your sensibilities.

The person you’re replying to is selling hyperbole anyway. Very few people are trading in their phones for color changes, and it’s certainly no more common for iPhones than it is for any other brand. This is just tired Apple fan bashing tripe, as is the Reddit way.

This one.

Well, there’s a difference between rumors- which are what they sound like- and leaks, which are often coming from an inside source and are frequently true (or at least, are for that stage of development). People who follow know which leakers are trustworthy sources and which aren’t.

Secret Santa is a weird, convoluted, and sometimes political (at work) game. I’m not a big fan and I can see how it would be absolutely mad to someone who didn’t know about it.
