Yup, they’re still over valued. But of course when you sell nothing but overpriced products that’s to be expected. But they’re trending down.

No cult of Android. It’s just the other choice. You either pay $900 for a $400 phone, or you get an Android. And of course Apple is selling your stuff just as much as anybody. They just put a lot of time into lying about it:

https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/01/28/apple-illustrates-privacy-issues-on-data-privacy-day
https://www.applesutra.com/blog/apple-privacy-issues/

So you keep paying twice as much to be lied to. Meanwhile I recognize the truth, there is no privacy anymore. Hasn’t been for nearly 30 years. And what little there was got shot in the head the minute smartphones got invented.


I notice you reference Lefty sites which are always truthful, eh?

The AppleInsider piece is about how Apple works to STOP user data going to advertisers.

The Apple-India piece is over a year old, citing hacks that have to be made by personal access to the users phone by the hacker - which have long been fixed in updates. Moreover, the author relies on reports by other people, then draws conclusions for those assumptions.

There hasn’t been “electronic privacy” since NSA discovered how to tap landlines back in the 1950s.
