I mean I would pay a premium for a made in America phone. Probably about 2 times as much. Iphones just suck ass so I’d never pay for one at all
Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy

This guy just spews his bullshit, Would it be nice if they could be made in United States? Yeah sure but the thing is an iPhone would cost like $3500. And I know damn straight I’m not paying that much for a phone. And I’m pretty sure you guys wouldn’t either and that’s coming from someone that sometimes makes some stupid financial decisions and that is not one I would make

If Apple didn’t try to make 400% markup on their underpowered trash, it would probably just cost what it costs now.

That’s the neat part, the republicans are trying to repeal child labor laws.

I hate to say it, but it’s actually quite powerful trash that they produce.

Yeah, I’m in the process of shifting all of my workflows over to Linux/Android from all-Apple, but my Macs are a huge sticking point. My main computer is an M2 Macbook Air, which is ridiculously quick. I’m basically just waiting for Asahi to gain display port over USB, at which point I’ll ditch macOS. But until then…

8GB of RAM on a laptop today is f-ing ridiculous.

Lol I agree. The value is horrendous when you spec one of their products to have decent storage/ram, but nevertheless can’t fault the speed of their ARM chips.

That’s how much more efficient MacOS and the M series silicon is.

Way more than you need for Facebook and pornhub. 8GB is fine for a low spec laptop.

My almost five year old piece of under powered apple trash cost me less than 45 US cents a day, still has regular OS updates and works between eight to ten hours most days running my entire life. I might even splurge out and buy a new one if they ever release an overpowered non trash handset…
