Instead of buying your next expensive iPhone, why not just never own it at all?

    Aaaand there we go, as predicted for the lady decade. You won’t own anything and you’ll like it. You will lease pur hardware and we will know everything about you.

    Fuck all of this

    The only reason I would do this would be to compile iOS apps, because I am not buying an iMac just for that. Except there’s already services out there that offer the solution, plus I can also access other hardware too.

    Any idea when the Chinese RAMs are going to flood enough of the market to lower the price?

    Kudos to them, if i cannot install my own software anymore and don’t own the hardware, it could be leased as well. /s

    You’re still paying for the more expensive ram. It’s just baked into a higher monthly rental payment. Why pay more for ram one time when you could pay more for ram every month for the rest of your life?

      When a company says it has a “solution” for the high price, they means they have a “solution” for the big number on the sticker. Not that they actually care about affordability.
