Ever since I started using iPhone I did land a few new high paying jobs and am starting to spend more money (lifestyle creep). I’m never going back to android now that I’m accustomed to this new life.

I used an Android device once and got demoted 2 levels that same day.
The editorial details exactly how societal class-ism starts.

This study is ridiculous. I have an old android because they took SD card support and headphone jacks out. I also spent money on a fairly expensive car, and have no aversion to buying tech that isn't disposable. just like many others. What puts me off apple devices most is probably this brand of elitism based on class and racial undertones. They are devices, not personality attributes by which people should be measured.

Pretty sure this is a joke.

What does this mean?

Who is measuring people like this? How can “people” even be measured?

Lol, I enjoyed this comment
