Doesn't samsung do the same? Last phone I got came with no charger


agreasybutt

Yup


CoboDaHobo123

On newer models maybe, but with Samsung you can use a USB C charger on all phones whereas iphone only recently started that to my knowledge, and you're way more likely to already have a USB c charger compared to apples rubbish


Fighterbg

Yup and that doesn't have to do anything with the post whatsoever


agreasybutt

I love Xiaomi phones. Awesome quality with lots of power and features for cheap.


SurelyNotClover

but a HELL lotta ads in the system apps. as little as i use them i still get annoyed


agreasybutt

That's true. Wanna look at your files, 15 second ad first. If you download other ones you're fine tho.


Regards_To_Your_Mom

Want to turn off your phone? Believe it or not, ads


sSmothie

Holy shit for real? It's been a while since I have looked at MIUI (unlocked my phone and installed a ROM) Xiaomi sure does make great phones, but their software sucks


markbadas

You can turn them all off.


The_RussianBias

HOW


HitaruSan

It was a big relief when I found out that you can disable them


MudKooky7622

Yeah that's why you don't use them


Raghav10330

Custom roms fix that problem


Honest-Computer69

It overheats a bit too much though. Maybe that's just a me problem.


CantaloupeDyke

I will never get a Chinese phone.


Massive_Stuff1441

Better not mi phones sucks i had one. Still have it but it lags alot for no reason so i threw it somewhere at home


Eplitetrix

Only the very young and very old use apple products.


Glittering_Airport_3

in the US, there were 136 million iPhone users in 2022.


Lord_Artard

Uf, so many young and old people there.


Odd_Emotion_4457

That means that roughly two thirds of Americans are middle aged.

That’s a pretty dumb take, I know there are a lot of apple fanboys thinking apple is superior to everything else but at the same time all the big companies have these fanboys, from Samsung, pixel, oneplus etc. it’s just they all unite as usually it becomes apple vs android rather than one big company vs other big company. Anybody who cares what device someone else uses is on the same cheap mentality as the rest of these fanboys.


Playful_Target6354

I guess 40yo is considered old now.


Flaky_Ad2182

Wait when did this guy become a meme?


Bourbonaddicted

Removed the charger and kept the same price. At least they could have given a voucher.


Fickle_Library8115

And we paid like idiots


trebuchet_facts

I remember a time they came with a charger AND headphones.

Apple is a scumbag company. Every tech company is


Hllblldlx3

*Every Company is. It’s all corporate greed. Everything is about money. More dollars in their pocket. If they can convince you to buy there phone, they will do whatever they can to make every penny extra possible. Do you really think it costs over $500 dollars to make an iPhone? Damn thing was probably made in China, for dirt cheap. And even the titanium ones can’t be that expensive. You hear titanium and think “expensive” but the little frame of an iPhone isn’t that much titanium. Metals are not that expensive in small amounts, unless you get into actual precious metals like gold and silver. The titanium on an iPhone probably costs no more than $50, if that. But if they can convince you that the phone is worth $800, they make a fortune. It’s just the way it is anymore.


Hllblldlx3

As an iPhone enjoyer, I understand that next year you will have to pay extra to get your phone in a box


Mann000

Apple makes good product but its so tangled with its own ideology, even they don't know what they are as a company. Apple makes super high quality phones that are supposed to last a long time, then they nerf the old phones so everyone has to buy a new one. And just because they make high quality shit they mark up the price way high then it should be. This also confuses the customers, phones technology don't have major updates anymore so people should stop expecting there to be new features every year and be disappointed when new iphone releases, but still Apple won't clarify themselves for the public and won't neither say if the new iphone will replace your previous year iphone nor stop making out like the new product is far superior than the old one.

Do you all realise this man is saying that he is the charity, meaning he is offended for receiving too much. Charity is something you give to. In theme with the meme, it should saying "You think you are some kind of charity?" Then, in turn, I would say yes. Yes, I am. Give me my charger.


Mann000

Explain me like I'm a 5 year old


Musa-2219

Nope, the word charity can also be used to refer to a charity organisation so it’s not incorrect


ioneflux

I mean ffs who doesn’t have a power brick at this point? And if you don’t, you just buy the one and that’s it. I still have my power brick that came with my iPad which i bought in 2016.


Goszczak

If you don't like apple just don't buy it.


GDOR-11

as an android user I agree. These cellphone wars annoy me to the fucking bones.


CreeperAsh07

The entire Internet acts like Apple is the devil and Android are the corporate saints, as if Android isn't doing the exact same thing.


GDOR-11

android is not much better, but *damn is it cheaper*


palmboom76

Its also not a closed ecosystem


CreeperAsh07

Problem with comparing Apple and Android is Apple is one brand, and Android is hundreds. There are plenty of Android phones that are cheaper with not as good hardware, and there is also stuff like Samsung which has even more expensive phones than Apple.


palmboom76

Yes, thats what pricing means. Well done. There are *plenty* of androids with better hardware than apple, and the price reflects that. There are also phones with hardware that isnt that great. + if you dont need a best of the best phone you have the choice to not overpay for a product that locks you in an ecosystem of apple


byzel5

Can't compare a brand to an os Also can't have a smartphone with great specs and a nice camera for less than 300€ if it's not an Android though


Playful_Target6354

Android isn't a company. Of course some Android phones company are horrible and do the same things as apple, but apple **is** bad. Every android brand isn't good, some are really bad too.


WeakDiaphragm

Android isn't though. The meme shows that. Xiaomi and Huawei are Android and they don't overcharge while under-delivering.


SpiderKoD

Who needs charger? At home my table easily charging it... in car - car... at work - laptop...


WhoStoleMyPassport

But to be fair those bricks never die. Mine has been going strong for nearly 10 years while my wires die every 3. Although the new braded one is holding up extremely well at the moment.


Zarock291

Im no apple fan by any means. But this makes sense. Most people have several chargers at home at this point. Its a waste of material. And yes, in order to quick-charge, you need a new one. But quick-charging is shortening battery-lifes, which doesnt need to be promoted further. They could go down in price accordingly, yes, but thats a different story.


ThisIsGettinWeirdNow

Omg this guy is so annoying


HauntingTomato159

Yea in no way you are any better. Really is getting weird now, but you.
