iPhone is $999+, Linux is completely free.

It’s funny this meme of iPhones being expensive is still a thing.

The cheapest one is under $450.

[–] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

That's still expensive compared to $0

why would anyone buy an even more pos phone. I had a 12 and 13 before my pixel there is nothing good about them, unless you are insecure about people's thoughts on what color your msgs are. also you don't need to copy and paste you comment on everyone's damn comment no one give a fuck.

You need to chill.

I responded to a grand total of 2 comments with the same sentiment but they were not copies of each other. The over the top aggressive response is completely unwarranted.

What's more is that yours and my mom don't need flagship phone performance and what you refer to as a "pos phone" would do just fine for the vast majority of people's use cases without coming close to utilizing all available resources.

I'm correcting the evidently popular belief that iPhones are expensive. As it turns out, only the expensive ones are expensive. Imagine that.
