I bought Apple stock because iPhones are garbage.

[Iadegbola34]

Your comparison of the two operating systems and your experience migrating from an Android to an iPhone are interesting to hear. Although both Android and iOS have benefits and drawbacks, the decision of which to use ultimately comes down to personal preference and what works best for each person.

It's also important to keep in mind that elements other than a product's technical attributes can affect how valuable people consider it to be. Apple has been successful in establishing a brand image that is linked to exclusivity, luxury, and status, which has enabled them to build a loyal customer base and charge a high price for their goods.

Although it is also true that Apple products are more expensive than those from other brands, this does not necessarily mean that they are of higher quality or performance.

The choice of which phone to use is ultimately a personal one that should be based on what best suits your needs and tastes. It's nice to hear that your investment in Apple stock has been profitable, and it's always a good idea to conduct your own research and make well-informed investment selections.

I bought the Iphone 14, paid in cash, without insurance or shit, and after a few weeks of use, the only thing I see better than Android is the camera. The operating system sucks, and has disadvantages like it sucks to copy and paste conversations on Whatsapp, or not being able to edit a word you are writing when you see that you made a mistake in a letter without deleting the whole word. The swype keyboard sucks. The same for phone numbers: if you make a mistake while typing or you copy and paste a phone number and you want to add the international prefix, you can't do it, you have to delete the whole number and write it again without the error or with the prefix at the beginning, depending on the case. 

In the end, I think it's at the very least equal to, if not worse than any $300 Android, which I came to the conclusion that if Apple has managed to sell shit at a gold price, I wanted to be part of the deal and have bought Apple stock.

I know people with low incomes that finance the Iphone for 24 months and when the new one comes out they go to get it by refinancing (although they also get a discount for returning the old one).

The arguments that iPhone users do that iPhone is better than Android are totally baseless and some of them even know it. I've seen a lot of people who understand that in terms of general use, Android is much better than the iPhone, but they use iPhone only for the standard that has been made by the world and the status it beholds.

I've personally never used iPhone and that's not because I can't afford to but it's because I know that it's garbage and it will limit my usage abilities and I don't want that to happen. I don't just want to hold the status of being an iPhone user while I can't even do basic stuff with it.

This is what I mean, Iphone purchases are usually more emotional than rational, almost of faith I would say. A lot of people expectantly awaiting the unveiling of each new Iphone and lining up to buy it when the reality is that it's a little less shitty than the last one and that a $300 Android works just as well if not better.

It is also a way of trying to appear status, in a crude way, because if you have a Ferrari you are seen with status but almost nobody can afford it. On the other hand, people with very low income believe that with the apple on the back of the phone they look like they have a certain status or prestige.

It is this emotion that often gets people into trouble because they are unable to assess their needs and are more concerned with lifestyle. Nowadays our life is like pretending and a little more joking, just imagine the need to buy an iPhone is not something urgent, but people are competing to have this product, even though the usage for the $300 Android class is far more optimal because there are also features needed by the ordinary user class.

It is this kind of prestige that makes people lose the opportunity to live in peace and are indirectly forced to fulfill a lifestyle that ultimately suffers from having to take out a loan. This rude way of showing status to others is sometimes confusing and makes no sense to me at all.

I'm not a fan of Apple stock, but I do like the idea of a smartphone that can be used as a store of value. It's good to have a stock that is cheap, but not as good as it is right now.

[FUCKBSVFUCK]

It is indeed a good thing to buy something because you will have to wait and see what the price is after you try to make money when Apple and other big Apple businesses are doing well, and if you are not patient to buy it right now, you can try the old phone, or Iphone, because I'm not a huge Apple fan, and I don't see any reason to get an Iphone, but that's all. I think we are at the beginning of a new era wherein Apple has made from Apple and will continue to make an important purchase decision, for now, it's going to be important, as you could argue with the point of the current Apple-Apple business model, that it has succeeded in this way. You can also argue that Apple has also had success in this way, but I don't see any reason for them to abandon Apple and leave all Apple users to Apple.

Apple users know that Apple products are not the best but they buy them anyway. I think they are more interested in the prestige of owning a iPhone, a MacBook or a series watch, we like luxurious things and love to show them off and Apple has projected itself as the product that’s used by the upper echelons of society.

Lol. That's what I was talking about. The prestige of buying something that people earning minimum wage can buy by paying it in installments.

If we talk about the espionage that Apple is conducting, then this exceeds all norms of human decency. It intervenes wherever possible, justifying surveillance on the grounds that the company is concerned about the user's safety.

In general, carrying a cell phone in our pocket takes away quite a bit of privacy, but I think Apple is the most anti-privacy of all mobile companies.

While it's interesting to see the outcome of your experiment, it is curious that you'd waste whatever large sum it cost you for an iPhone in order to figure these things out. Maybe asking a friend and having a little play around could have come up with the same thoughts, but you might have a lot more free cash that makes this acceptable. means little.

Man, you can imagine that it has not been a problem for me to pay for it in cash. If you saw my posts in which I talk about personal finances, it's been a long time since I've had consumer debts and it's also been a long time since I've been constantly investing. From time to time I also splurge, as in this case.

If I were you, I would buy an iPhone 14 pro instea of just 14, just saying.

Why? After the disappointment I don't think it's worth it, I think I could have bought the Iphone 13 or 12 and I wouldn't have noticed the difference.

The arguments that iPhone users do that iPhone is better than Android are totally baseless and some of them even know it.

Lol. It's just like that. What's important is the Apple on the back of your phone.

I'm not a fan of Apple stock, but I do like the idea of a smartphone that can be used as a store of value. .

This is an idea that Apple users buy into that I'm not convinced by: that Iphones have a higher resale value than Android. Although it is true, I think it does not justify the price premium and in the end it is a liability that depreciates over time.

Here in our country, the apple or iphone14 brand can be said to be a luxury and not user friendly. The others are just buying because they are just going along with the current trend. When it comes to performance, I still prefer to use the Samsung brand whose value is 300$ and up and Huawei. But I will never buy an iphone apart from being very expensive it is not practical for my opinion and opinion.
But for others, it is their collection because they can afford to buy it.

I think Apple phones are user friendly but Android is the one that is more complex. This is why there are lot's of modifications available for the Android than in IOS although yes they are not budget friendly unless only if you are buying a second hand model because some of them are cheap and it is still negotiable.

Average people even the poors are buying iPhones because they want to look expensive but they don't know that they can still be classified as a poor through their gestures. You have a good budget on buying a smart phone BTW. I wouldn't consider 300 USD as a small amount of money although it won't still be enough to buy a brand new latest iPhone.

I know people with low incomes that finance the Iphone for 24 months and when the new one comes out they go to get it by refinancing (although they also get a discount for returning the old one).

Apple has managed with the Iphones to sell an idea of status or prestige that has no justification in the quality of the product, but in the faith that their followers have in them.

Therefore, I think it will continue to be a very good business for many years to come.

I know similar people like that as well, they don't have a lot of money and still they will buy the new Iphone every 2 years. Which is insane in my opinion, why would you cut back on your monthly expenses by eating crappier food, don't go out so much anymore and only buy the cheapest clothes, with the whole purpose of having the newest phone? It makes no sense to me as all the components in the older Iphone are still fine and can be used. It would be no problem to run around with a 4 year old Iphone if there wasn't the whole prestige thing with it. As for buying Apple stocks I never considered purchasing some myself. I do own some as part of the ETFs, all the stock indices from North America will include some Apple stocks. Not sure though if it's a good time to buy now. In general Apple is a well established company with stores all around the world, so it's a decent investment. It's just that the stock price is quite close to it's 52 week at the moment, maybe it would have been better to buy the stocks earlier during the crisis last year, or wait for the price to drop a bit again.

A:

There are a lot of factors that go into the decision to buy an Iphone.

1. The is going to be higher than the price of the phone.
2. The phone is going to be used for long periods of time.
3. The phone is going to be in a brand new model.
4. The phone is going to be a smart phone.
5. The phone is going to be compatible with the hardware and software that you have.
6. The phone ideo calls.
7. The phone is going to be good for voice calls.
8. The phone is going to be good for GPS/G

It all depends on the user whether or not you have the right tools and applications for the specific things that you are doing. They are definitely at the ends of the spectrum and most of the time they are within their reasons and it's with the ecosystem that it has. I have an iPhone and that's my daily phone but I'm planning to get an Android as well and have both of them being used together.

It's all in your choice and the system that you want. I don't think it's garbage though.

[Flexystar]

Well that’s because the Apple ecosystem has been made that way. You get many benefits and whatever you have mentioned are just little cons and that too associated with the prices as such. The cost is all about the branding and security. They are proven to be far secured as compared to the androids. No one can really beat the security of Apple I believe. When you enter the ecosystem of Apple no one can beat the easiness of Apple.

In your post I’m also looking for the stock purchasing answer. If you are not positive about the Apple then why did you buy them in first place.

[Findingnemo]

First of all I am an Android user too cause I don't like the user experience of IOS and we need to take lot of work to do simple things on IOS compared to Android but Apple devices are known for their performances too apart from camera because the hardware designed specifically for the IOS so it performs well along with efficient but that doesn't worth $1000 but people are going after it just for the brand so there is nothing wrong with investing in their stocks but I don't expect it to grow a lot further like Tesla or something.
