People will still buy blindly buy their crap, regardless.
The only reason we still have an iPhone left in our house is because I found my 11-year-old a new iPhone 7 for $30 (I didn't want her to have a phone but we moved from a rural area to the 'burbs and suddenly she was riding a bike around a neighborhood and I needed a way to stay in contact). When it dies, we're done. I refuse to buy into a company that makes everything down to the fucking CHARGER proprietary (and then charges ridiculous prices for it). Gimme a PC I can add my own RAM to and an Android I can jailbreak myself.
