imagine getting rich because of some mumbo jumbo accounting BS and manipulation then decided to battle an actual manufacturing powerhouse that can actually produce sellable products. lmao bruh, economy is not like your typical cooked sports ppv bets like the “paul douchebags” vs whoever the fuck they want to fight.

what an out of touch idiot.

    I went from iPhone 6s to Huawei mate 20 in 2019. Felt like going from my Gameboy colour to a PSP or something.

    Then afterwards because politics caused Huawei to be crippled, I went for Xiaomi. (Shares are sold publicly so there’s more resistance in USA).

    Xiaomi 12T via Telenet deals was 400 euros. Then now this year I went for Xiaomi 14T pro for 650 euros (plus a tablet).

    My dad went for iPhone 16 for 830 euros.

    I’ve only used his phone for like 10 minutes, but it feels so… behind. It’s like for 830 euros that they just cannot offer much. My friend said that an iPhone 16 is a waste of money, that you’re forced to go for the pro max. But that’s like 1500 euros for 512 GB space.

    Apple, you’re manufacturing your phones in china but you aren’t pricing your phones like china does.

    Why would anyone beside teenagers and seniors buy your phones?
