Your new iPhone’s features include oppression, inequality – and vast profit
says that our capitalist system is broken too. Who are these assholes who keep spouting courage when they lead their Chinese workers to suicide? Apple is absolutely disgusting. |

I skimmed a little but read most of it.
While launching the iPhone 7 this month, its marketing chief, Phil Schiller, explained why this model came without a earphone socket: “It really comes down to one word: courage. The courage to move on, do something new, that betters all of us.” It does take some "courage" to defy tax bills and basic morality, I'll say that. It also takes some other traits... ____________________ |

Posted by LeftyGreenMario Everyone just cares too much about money. I love money too, not to lie, but making others kill themselves just to keep the manufacturing cost down is shit. Though almost all factories in developing countries we like this. It'll be hard to even find one with "fair" conditions, unless the factory is in a "developed" nation where there are labor unions and such, like the U.S. ____________________ MusiMasta - YouTube Channel Currently 374 subs!

It takes 'courage' to come up with complete marketing bullshit. The Applesheep will buy into it as always. The rest of the population will call bullshit or not care.
The standard, open 3.5 jack didn't get them any money. That's all. Apple is one of the capitalism giants. We need to fucking boycot them and force them into bankruptcy. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

We can boycott all we want, but Apple will still reap profits from their sheep. So it won't force them into bankruptcy. Plus, they're already too rich from all the profits they have so far, it would be close to impossible for them to go into bankruptcy.
Take a random Android company however, that are valued based on their actual.value and not possessing a herd of cattle, they would go down quite easily, even without a boycott. I remember Motorola or some other company announced bankruptcy or something somewhere. And yep, Apple sheep are the majority of the people. I really think they can only learn a lesson when someone popular that has a following criticizes Apple and such. But too bad that most popular people promote the iPhone 7. ____________________ MusiMasta - YouTube Channel Currently 374 subs! Help support me by subscribing! Thanks!

I don't know how relevant this is, but my art teacher just brought up how he expects this future to go wireless. I'm assuming it has to do with how iPhone 7 got rid of the headphone jack. I countered by saying the quality of wireless sucks and you can more easily lose them, but he said "really" and "we'll, just take care of them, we can lose anything" so I'm not sure he made a good argument.

Holy shit guys! We actually have some long awaited anti-Apple progress happening! In China, you can get fired for buying an iPhone 7. The reasons are simplistic, to dissuade people from becoming uber materialistic and such. Unhealthy obsessions with pricey shit, and to not develop an Apple habit (save the sheep!) And it's quite obvious that the sheep need to be saved-they sell their freaking organs just for a piece of shit. How awful.

Bear in mind that capitalism isn't evil, but rather the people who utilize it. At its core it's wholesome: work to get ahead, manage your own affairs, and what you earn is yours.
Of course, the existence of foreign systems are readily available to these capitalists to abuse: cheap labour. Then we have businesses, such as Apple, who rise to the top, earn loyalty, then abuse that loyalty by arranging scams such as this. "Soda cans no longer come with tabs! They're far too outdated. Here, buy this tiny soda can opener for $79.99. It's the size of a pea and looks like a rock." So... without capitalism, we have nothing. Perhaps a better system exists out there, but we've yet to find it. It's not its principles that make it flawed, but the people who run it. No matter the circumstance, someone will always be in an immoral position: the lordship, the "socialist organiser", the capitalist - but at least one allows anyone (under it) to progress forward. |

Also depends of the rate at which capitalism is applied. It isn't a black-and-white thing.
The current capitalist system is willing to go to any length to make money -- putting potentially dangerous chemicals in your food, risking dangerous oil spills at any time, extracting all resources until depletion... This is why it's bad. I tend to say "capitalism is bad" but it's a shortcut for "the capitalist system is bad". Oh also, capitalism itself isn't the only way things can work. For alternatives, look up Rojava. ____________________ NSMBHD - Kafuka - Jul melonDS the most fruity DS emulator there is zafkflzdasd |

It's quite simple, really. Their battery has always been smaller. Look at the capacity. Less than 2000 mAh versus the Galaxy S7, which has a 3000 mAh battery. Simple math. They could try to be as efficient as possible (lower crap resolution, less RAM), but it's basically impossible, something that is not there can never be made up. Oh yeah, they probably did this to make people buy the Plus variant, since it has a 2x larger capacity than the smaller shit version. Even the SE has better battery than the normal variant, like what the heck? ____________________ MusiMasta - YouTube Channel Currently 374 subs! Help support me by subscribing! Thanks!

How's the name Apple stupid though?
Anyways, it's just pathetic to see people in school have literally insta upgraded to iPhone 7's (you can easily tell via the more circular camera and you can also see how there is no headphone jack if you sneak a glance from the side). Welp, I mean, not as many people listen to music in class now because of the hassle, but still... ____________________ MusiMasta - YouTube Channel Currently 374 subs! Help support me by subscribing!
