Okay, this is not an iPhone vs Android Phone debate. I respect your right to choose whichever platform that you want.


I mean, iPhone seems so antithetical with the idea of freedom. You have to connect it to a server to even use it, all apps have to go through a centralized server, no option to install whatever apps you want, which means, you literally cannot have any third-party apps without an online account.

Most of my fellow americans seems to love the idea of freedom so much, yet just buy into a closed ecosystem with no freedom? 🤔

Like almost 60% of Americans use iPhone, kinda weird to preach freedom when you cant even have an app without a corporation’s approval. If it were any other country, I wouldn’t find it weird, but for a country that’s obsessed with the idea of freedom (so much so that they disobeyed mask mandates), it’s really weird to be using a device with zero freedom.

    But like… that’s because most of the time it’s nationalism.

    But the thing is America is supposed to be all about “Freedom”

    I mean, Americans even defied a resonable thing like wearing masks, but then is okay with not having the freedom to install apps… Not sure how much people actually care about freedom… 🤔

      Convenience is nationalism

      Damn. Why don’t more Americans buy Huawei phones that aren’t available in any stores? Must be nationalist!
