Get him some poo poo Chinese Android phone in an iPhone SE body. Something like that probably exists. That way speculation about his mental state by strangers would be deflected when they see an iPhone body.

the iPhone SE is a good starter phone for a non-technical woman or child, once they get comfortable they can move up to the regular size phones

that's a phone well suited for a young person who may not be ready for the 'full-fat' apple phones. it helps that its cheaper for people who may not be able to afford the iPhone 7 or 7+. its basically the porsche boxster of phones

they know the market well enough to include legacy connectors on the low end devices. not everyone who buys an SE can get their parents/husband to buy them some nice wireless headphones but these can always be purchased later

my brother has this condition as well. he muttered something about walled gardens and not trusting his fingerprints being uploaded to apple and being able to modify his device (he's never modified it or anything). he's usually not a huge sperg like these statements would lead you to believe, I think he just believes too many things he reads on the internet

my advice is always buy an iphone or just buy whatever loving piece of trash catches your eye since they're literally all garbage and will be broken in some way out of the box. sure, some are worse than others, but you already know what to buy if you want a phone that works, and it ain't an android.

yeah im glad my tv has the remote wired to it since it never moves off the wall i mean whats the point

this may come as a surprise to you, but some people do in fact move their phones around to do things like answer texts or engage in other social media activities, or even get up from where they are sitting to walk across the room, or even into another room altogether. im sure your portable anime player is best served by being plugged into a wall all day though

wireless headphones are good for running or w/e because they don't tug out of your ears when you move. not that anyone here would know about physical exercise

"away from phone but listening to music with headphones" is a dumb usecase I'll just use speakers, headphones on my computer or my dedicated music player, the iPod classic. wireless can also cost more for a lesser quality product. it doesn't make sense to leave your phone somewhere in public and in private it doesn't matter. never had a problem with wired headphones and exercise tbh but I can see the benefit there

how do you design a phone to self-destruct so neatly? I mean sarnsung were forced to replace a lotta lovely phones but this could just be chalked up to "sucks even more to be you anroid user"

this falls on qualcomm they made a really lovely soc that had some tremendously bad thermal problems and since they alone p. much dictate what every android device uses every generation welp

what i find weird is that its only the lgs and the nexus 6 that had it manifest in bootloops a year later everyone elses phone on the same chipset just thermal throttled itself to uselessness immediately
