@neauoire I still know a couple people who feel like they *need* to upgrade their phones every 2 years for a scrolling Instagram machine

It's a status symbol, like a Rolex.

How many people do you know (excluding me!) who is a Patek Philippe or a Jaeger LeCoultre estimator, even if those watches could be far more expensive than a Rolex?

@neauoire Ya, somewhere in the neighbourhood of 300 million people buy Apple computing devices per year, so it can be hard to miss. And they last a long time too, so ya, hundreds of millions of people are rocking exceptionally old devices, and most are even getting software updates! So there’s something like 2 billion active apple devices in use today. So where do they all come from? It’s all so confusing. 😜

@neauoire I bought a MacBook air m2, because it's the highest ratio of performance to power consumption in small form factor that satisfies requirements that make me a living.
People exist to whom these things are the right tool for the job :)
