    Apple, especially when it was considered a “luxury brand.”

      It still is considered that, for reasons.

        Because Apple is a marketing company

            1. Sell many dongle
            2. Remove port the dongle plugs into
            3. Invent NEW dongle

            Repeat

          How come they manufacture their own chips then?

            C’mon bro, be serious. They don’t manufacture shit. They pay other people to manufacture and assemble their products.

        It’s expensive and recognized. That’s about it. The UI is neat, I guess.

          This is what I don’t get, the UI looks so dated and messy to me. Everything looks like it came out of the 90s and never evolved.

      I had an iPhone once, but realized I couldn’t get a torrent client and decided I’ll never use Apple again.

      Also if you go to like China, you wouldn’t be able to download a VPN app, whereas with Android, at least you can tell a friend who lives in the west to email you a .apk file.

        Misinformed, this.

        I only got an Iphone because using Android was severely limited in China and iPhones just work[TM]. VPN use is everywhere and normal there.
