I thought Apple fags were rich?
>>45718543
>16GB or less of storage
is this talking use, or capacity? Because iPhones bottom out at 16GB. There's no "or less".
How can you stay rich when you buy expensive techno crap every year?
What would I store on a cellphone? Music and movies? On a cellphone? What?
People who buy overpriced electronics with limited utility when perfectly acceptable alternatives exist for less demonstrate a lack of practical economic understanding. Of course they're not wealthy, unless they have a specific talent they get paid far too much for. Most people tend not to.
How can they run out of space when they have the cloud?

Apple devices are symbol of status for poor people.
It's obvious that poor people are willing to sell their food stamps just to get their hands on a new iPhone.
True richfags that want to be ostentatious buy luxury manufacturer phones that are in the thousands.
Pic related is a $130,000 Android phone.

As a watchmaker I looked at the ETA movement in the back.

that's retarded but it looks better than those vertu phones.
>kinetic charging
cool.
>>45718724
Yes, indeed. But they are still reliable products used by most college professors, including functional programming enthusiasts.
>>45718933
that's why i said poor people
college professors aren't poor.
can't deny apple devices have that neat "just works" feature.
>>45718724
if I were to apply this to my clothing, it'd mean I have more money than Bill fucking Gates.
Yet I don't. Sad.

I notice the "broke" guy has much darker skin than the other guy, yet they didn't just make him full on nigger.

That's ugly though.

*Until it's time for the latest major update to make your current phone run like shit to hopefully get you to buy the newest one. :^)

sorry for being a fashist racist oppressor nazi.
Well, at least iPhones have upgradeable memory so you can expand at you leisure and/or when you scrounge up the spare cash.

Ahhh much better.

>I thought Apple fags were rich?
Nope, just poor and stupid. Most of these people take out bank loans to pay for their shitty fones.
>>45718543
they have the illusion of being rich by going for the basic models
>>45718543
well those filthy goy didn't pay the extra 200 dollars for the 32gb otherwise they'd be fine
everyones rich compared to average /g/entleman
>>45718558
There used to be 4GB and 8GB models.
i cant imagine what would you use 16gb for... just keep pictures/videos in cloud, no need to have hundreads of them on your phone...
same goes for music having 1000+ tracks that you maybe listen once a year seems dumb, music streaming seems much more preferable at this age
>>45718543
There are a LOT of kids who can't afford 32/64 gigs.
Need I remind op
they don't even know what's the point of storing data on their device, even less for most what's a "jiggabight", also, mac threads should be confined into /lgbt/.
>buy sony Z1 compact
>grab a 128GB micro SD along with it
>can now also use the phone as a portable hard drive
I don't understand how people can live with 16GB on their phones.

are you covering that in 7th grade after break?
>>45719712
same as my M8 came with 16gb internal and it has about 2.5gb left, if it was for the 32gb SD card i'd be fucked.
>>45719712
Like the article said, the can't.
>>45718724
This. Owning a iPhone is the new generations version of owning the latest pair of Jordans.
and just like how people would go out and buy Jordans despite not playing Basketball at all, people buy an iPhone and use it for none of the benefits a smartphone can offer. If they really did care, an iPhone would be the last thing they'd be considering.
>>45719852
Sorry some people don't like lagdroid ass phones
I have a 32GB Zenfone 5 with a 32GB TFLASH
the internal 32gb can be completely used to install programs unlike Samshit which limits the amount of onboard for apps.
The zenfone 5 supports at least 128gb Tflash cards too.

iPhone market share is an order of magnitude greater than Jordan marketshare. Jordans were exclusive to black people. If you think iPhones aren't the "default" phone for most Americans then you're delusional.
>>45720432
Obviously. The thing is white people have a hard on for appropriating black culture, so in recent years it's become commonplace for whites to act as blacks do, and that includes being broke as fuck and buying shit they have no purpose buying.
iPhones are the default for everyone because all cultures are going down the self destructive route that black people have had for years. You'll also notice more white people buy air jordans, listen to hip hop, and drink 40s now.
>>45720541
>>45720557
iPhones are not an appropriation of black culture. Are you hearing yourself? You should take a step back and think about the broader point you're making.

>>45720574
In the next few months as you acclimate to 4chan's "culture" you'll notice that mods enforce certain rules strictly and other rules very very loosely.
On the whole, the rules are in place to give mods justification for banning people they don't like. If nobody reports you and/or the mods don't mind, the rules basically don't exist.
Point being, don't go running like a bitch to the rules; they're not real.

>>45720651
I'm not likening this to being a badass (or even a delusional badass as your suggestion seems to imply). I'm just too jaded from experience to take the rules at face value, and you'd do well not to place undue faith in them.
Report posts if you want, but trust me when I say that there are a lot of rules on the list that are just not enforced. It's like the bible - there's shit that says not to eat meat on fridays, but most self-identifying christians do it anyway.

ITT OP learns there's a difference between being rich and wealthy.
>>45719658
All that says is that iPhones are expensive. We already knew that. Seems like you think it means iOS is <80% of the high end market, but that's just not how that graph works, it wouldn't add up. To make any sense of this graph you'd need to know what worldwide market share each OS has, otherwise it's useless.

How Can Mods Be Real If Our Rules Aren't Real
god what has happened to /g/. i've been here for two years and only in the past maybe four months have I seen a huge decline in the culture here. it went from the culture that got me into linux and ricing my android, etc. to either praising apple or bashing apple.
nothing else.
this is /technology/ not /consumer technology shilling/
it's like /b/ for "techies" now
>>45721055
There are lots of threads other than the Apple-centric ones. You're just spending all your time rehashing the same old argument.
>>45721073
Actually this is the first time I've posted my opinion on this. I guess I did exaggerate - there are a lot of other threads, it's just obvious that pointless threads like these are definitely on the rise.
/g/ isn't finished yet, but there's been a shift in the culture. It's becoming obvious that the culture here is changing as 4chan gets more exposure and more normalfags visit the site.
>>45721055
>ricing my android
You really think that's any better than Apple threads?
>>45721133
/g/ has been bitching and trolling about Apple for more than 4 years. Trust me, I've been here way longer than any sane person would have stuck around. Nothing has changed.
>>45718543
not even apple fags are dumb enough to pay a fucking huge premium for few extra gigabytes.
>>45721141
It's all a matter of personal needs, Anon.
Some people need to be spoonfed and tracked.
Others don't.
*tips le fedora*
>>45721144
i should have left while i could have, anon :'(
>>45721169
If you don't want to be tracked, start using burners. They can still track your android at a hardware level even if with your custom rom.
>>45721141
Yes because it has actual technology about it not just muh product is more expensive and hurr everyone is poor but me because muh Apple Tart syndrome
>>45718543
The only rich Applefags are Jobs and Cooks
>>45721189
What's a burner, Anon? I'm intrigued.
Oh, and
>2k14

>>45721191
I don't know man, it's kind of a stretch to call ricing technology.
>>45721230
A cheap cell phone you use and then throw away after a short period, like a drug dealer.
>>45721251
I tried using a dumbphone for two weeks after using a smartphone for years and I just couldn't handle it, they've got me hooked on smartphones.
>>45721300
They make android burners nowadays. As long as you don't hook a google account up to it, you'll still be way more anonymous than using any one phone for an extended period.
Yeah, Apple (and most phone manufacturers, for that matter) price storage tiers stupidly. But I'm a Onepleb One user, so my opinion means nothing.
>>45718543
>I thought Apple fags were rich?
Their status symbol is their phone.
Not their cars or private jet.
Of course they aren't rich.
>>45721055
hownew.ru?
/g/ has always been shit. IMO this entire year and half of last year have been the worst so far. Shit posting on an epic scale, Mac leaping into acceptable across the board, seemingly much greater number of non-tech savvy people. I'm only here for the boredom and occasional gold that seeps out.
>>45721412
idk i take month or two breaks sometimes just to get my sanity back, I'm just coming back after two months of not even going to 4chan in general.
>>45718630
I use my iPhone to workout, so I like to keep several gigs of music on mine. My gym wifi is shitty so I can't stream, and I'd go over my cellular data super fast.
>>45718543
You don't need to be rich to buy an Asspull product, you need to be an idiotic prick.
>>45719167
That's an Indian though, their poor people live in mud and have nothing.
They wear sacks and rags for clothes so it would be the other way around.

I have a 16GB 6 and have no trouble with storage. Would it be nice to have an SD cslot? Sure, but I don't moan about it. I place 5-6 iTunes playlists on the phone, a few movies and several docs, and use Google Drive for other stuff. Phone storage will be redundant in a couple years as everything will be in the cloud with unlimited data anyway.
>>45720591
mfw S2 with 32GB card
>>45720588
Thats a few megabytes at most.
Vectors + metadata + shitty lmz compression = no data used
It also doesn't help that 200-300 pictures is half a gigabyte of data, and nobody takes more than 1000-200 pictures, and thats less than the 10GB of data.
I actually keep my iPhone 6 Plus pretty clean. I have all my shit in iCloud, so I'll just stream it if need be.
I also take pictures about once every century, so 16 GB is never a problem. As of now, I have about 8 GB used (including the OS).

apple fags are not rich. they are young students or middle aged people who do not know any better and think going on a contract is an acceptable thing
