Funny how American capitalism went from championing interchangeable parts in the 18th century to shitting on it in the 21st century.

I wouldn’t buy Apple but I know some people buy Apple because they have the longest support window of all smartphone makers (even longer than Fairphone), according to YouTube vid lU4vv7qCQvg.
