    Up until you want to do anything Apple doesn’t approve of. Like, say, sideload apps that aren’t in the app store. Or install an alternate OS. Or get root access to your own damn device. Or swap out parts yourself. Or anything beyond being a boring-ass social media consumer.

      or keep using your device after you dropped it. or keep using the same device long enough for the battery to wear out. or use the same charger on your phone as you would use on any other device.

      it’s frickin ludicrous how apple users whose devices break prematurely just go and buy another device from apple, as opposed to doing the sane thing and buying from a different company. like after my lenovo laptop wiped its own bios on a forced “upgrade” i’m sure as fuck not buying lenovo, but if an apple device encountered the same error 9 out of 10 users would just go and wire daddy tim apple another $1500 for a replacement. like wtf, why would they not enforce failures if that’s how their users behave

        My friend, I have dropped an iPhone in an otter box multiple times from about 10 feet up onto concrete and no breaks. Although I have broken a screen or two before I started using good cases and applecare got me in and out in like 20 minutes. Also I kept my previous iPhone long enough for two battery replacements and both were done trivially easy with apple care, no cost to me. 😉

      Sure thing, bud! I had a jailbreak from about 2010 until 2022. The only thing I’m missing out on is location spoofing and piracy. I also have a dev account so I can side load shit if I want. I mean, you’re so buttfurious and still have green bubbles, so none of the stuff you use to angle for superiority matters. 🤣
