It's not like Apple would stop making and selling phones. And I doubt people wanting to buy a iPhone are the same as those wanting a phone from another brand.

- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoYeah, the iPhone is as much someone's identity now as it is a product.
- dkonofalski 7y agoEven as a pretty heavy Apple user, I feel so sorry for people that have to identify with a product. If someone asked me to describe myself, my choice in computer/phone/whatever would not be a part of that description.
- K0SM0S 7y agoNot a device or product but open-source though... for me as a dev, or tech nerd, or advocate of freedoms / defender of rights, or just as an aware citizen, you know... open-source matters to a fundamental layer of our digital-izing civilization.
- SketchySeaBeast 7y agoIt does, but that requires a lot of tech literacy - much more than someone who cares if they can use iMessage or not to chat with their friends.
- K0SM0S 7y agoYou mean it's my "tech literacy" (category) that is part of my identity, and I'm merely specifying my colors (property) within that category. Gotcha, agreed. Thanks for this insight!
