I don’t think that is enough information to make a meaningful comparison. For example, megapixels is a poor basis for comparing two camera systems, especially today when the photography arms race is located primarily in the post-processing. Battery size means little when separated from the software it is driving. Two displays of equal resolution can have different quality in terms of colors, contrast, peak and min brightness, etc. Not to mention some intangibles like 5+ years of software support from Apple that I doubt will be provided for a budget Android phone.
She is absolutely correct to say that the counter to Trump’s “strongman politics” is a deeply righteous and moral campaign. The Democrats either don’t understand this, or they think that brute-force browbeating can replace it.
Democrats have, for too long, spoken from a position of moral authority when they have no real basis for it.
A righteous and moral campaign would seek to increase diplomacy and stop the US-backed wars in Ukraine and Palestine. It would fight for free healthcare and cancellation of student debt. It would crack down on corporate exploitation and police brutality. All of these things are possible within the confines of liberal politics.
get paid by the same people to put on a show
A show that functionally propagandizes the bourgeois conception of the nation. The point of the election isn’t just to elect a particular candidate, but to frame the country’s self-identity and worldview from the perspective of the ruling class.
I’m genuinely curious what $150 phone beats a $1,000 iPhone
Comparing the iPhone to its more available competition in the US (where iPhones dominate) it’s not that much, if at all, more expensive than a similar spec Pixel or Galaxy phone. And the reputations of neither Google nor Samsung are any better than Apple.
I use an iPhone now because I got sick of the volatility of Android. Android is constantly being “refreshed” with gimmicks and cosmetic overhauls. New apps are created and sundowned after 2 years. Lots of bugs/quirks that you just learn to work around, like WiFi randomly dropping so you have to reboot once a day. Feels reminiscent of Windows in that way.
Just like with non-Apple phones, you can buy a used iPhone for much cheaper. Yes the current year flagship models will be very expensive, over $1,000. That will also be true for any flagship Android phone or even a Huawei (e.g. the Pura 70 Pro is $1,300)
