Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

@QasimRashid To be fair, an iPhone is a waste of money when an android would be completely adequate.

@farbel @QasimRashid Um, no. Unless you're a Linux nerd, Android is basically impossible to use safely. I would not recommend it for someone not prepared to be very careful about what apps they install, etc.

@dalias @QasimRashid lol, please. It's all I've ever used, I detest Linux, and I have never had an issue.

@farbel @QasimRashid You don't have to know you're unsafe to be unsafe. Usually it happens by virtue of not knowing.

@dalias @QasimRashid 3.3 billion Android users disagree. Double those who spend the big bucks for prestige.

@farbel @dalias @QasimRashid Thinking people only buy iPhones for prestige is, well, wrong on many levels. I guess there are some, probably more than those who spend big bucks on premium Android handsets for prestige. Either way, generalisations are harmful my dude.
