      Very untrue. Consumers have the power to buy far cheaper Android phones where they have far more freedoms, but not only do the majority of American consumers refuse to do this, they voluntarily and systematically shame those who do.

      Statistically, Most American consumers are pretty dumb and act against their own interests

        Apple iPhones are awesome if you like being three years behind in tech and paying double the price for that privilege

                Again, these sorts of tribal sentiments for products is pathetic and embarrassing. They’re both OSes from two massive corporations that couldn’t give two shits about you. Be as pragmatic about this as they are to everyone else.

                  Actually that’s incorrect. One is a closed system, and the other is open source and accessible by the entire planet, and not specific to any corporation. You are confusing it with either Samsung or Google. Android works outside of their ecosphere. The only tribalists are the Apple fanbois as it’s the only actual tribe

      Workers and consumers actually have all the power, they just don’t want to inconvenience themselves by using it. Collective action has destroyed empires and absolutely can annihilate multinationals.
