Please vote with your money. Don’t waste money and buy overpriced stuff and certainly don’t support this kind of business practice. And fuck the shareholders too. If they want money, then work like most people.

Already do. Used to buy new phone every year. Now it’s every three years or so. That is completely due to price and lack of compelling innovation. Don’t care if shareholders make money or not. I just like good value.

I’m the same. I just got a 15 as my xr screen is cracked and the batter lasts half a day.

I’m home sick and didn’t even open the box yet.

I’m not particularly excited for a new phone, but my xr is just not working well enough any longer.

You can try 5 years with Fairphones, it’s the length of their warranty and you can repair it yourself easily.

Is this sarcasm? I don’t think I’m a genius, just giving a reminder, and perhaps a flaw in capitalism.
