That guy received an unnecessary amount of flak from social media. Parasite raw when his coworkers were grown adults that voluntarily shared lunch with him. As if naman pag uwi sa bahay at pag pasok sila pa rin gagastos sa pagkain niya, lol.

Yeah, his priorities are arguably whack, but if it helps a poor salesman make the most out of his doomed dead-end existence, who am I to criticize him for it?

yung iba kasi ginagamit na pang social status ang pagkakaroon ng iphone

Android phones are so cheap you can replace it right away once it's lost or damaged in real time. iPhones, not.

May pang-emergency fund na ako pambili ng phone na pinag-ipunan ko ₱50/day except Saturdays since nabili ko ang Redmi Note 11 last year.

I'm not an iPhone owner, but they do have some features that, as an Android user since the beginning, are enviable. Magsafe charging, better and more secure FaceID, camera PQ that aren't overprocessed like with flagship Androids, the tech behind AirTags that don't make them useless outside your range, consistent battery optimization, and their native ecosystem of apps like FaceTime, Airdrop, iMessage, and so on.

Most importantly, resale value na hindi bagsak presyo a few years later. I hate it when my all-powerful Note 20 Ultra that's only 2.5 years old costs less than an iPhone XS Max (which came out in 2018!) in the aftermarket.

Because it's pricey it's used as a status symbol, even if you can barely keep up with the monthly payments. Much like if you own a designer bag 🤷

I do own an iPhone, coming from using Android since Eclair/Froyo. I've been down deep in the custom ROM rabbit hole so switching to an iPhone and not having to jailbreak/root is a novelty. I still keep an Android but it's a backup/sacrifice phone.

Also, the Apple ecosystem is really enticing. Since starting with an iPad 5 years ago, I now have an iPhone, Macbook, and Airpods and the integration between them is pretty good.
