phones have become status symbols; what's why apple is going to start making folding iphones too.
i bought my gen-alpha grand nieces/nephews some motorolas last xmas and they rejected them because they wanted iphones.
i was disappointed at first, but then pleased to learn that i lit a fire that forced my their parents to buy expensive AF iphones to quell the rabble and none of the motorolas helped subsidized the $6,000+ cost. lol
Sad, would've loved a moto. My phone is nearing 5 years old, at which point I'll probably grab a used Pixel and throw GrapheneOS on it, wish Chinese phones weren't so legislated against in the US.
tell me about it; i've got a redmi that's become an expensive paperweight because of it and despite the fact that it's comparable to a pixel 8.
i'm forced to make due with a VASTLY inferior "american" phone (and for the same price). i'm waiting for the day that graphane/postmarket/lineage/etc. starts supporting my redmi model.
Would be nice...
