    Yeah that would make sense if there weren’t other options. iPhones are basically the poster child for conspicuous consumption. They’re expensive, flashy, objectively worse than the competition, and have a shadier production chain historically than other brands. Even using an old iPhone is an option that doesn’t contribute to issues caused by global capitalism. These products when properly cared for could last a life time and yet…

    Thats what a fake communist would say to be honest. Real communists dont use phones made by american companies. You just play make believe if you use a product made by americans. Why not buy a cheap chinese phone? Or a nice fairphone?

    So many options, but you would have to give up your capitalistic luxuries.
