since magkakaroon ng I-phone na USB-C macoconvince ba kayong subukan ang I-phone?

PHP57,000 is just too much for me for just a smartphone barely used its marketed hardware and software components like cameras and that Dynamic Island whatever. iPhone SE with USB-C, when?!

Nagkaroon lang ako ng smartphone because of banking/ewallet, instant messaging, at 2FA tokens, and my Redmi Note 11 is more than enough to perform them.

fair point pero if it was second hand? And also had a replaceable battery?

You forgot...

No iCloud/Apple ID linked

Anyways, iPhones' legitimate replacement parts are too expensive for casual iPhone users/sellers. I doubt that "replacement battery" is also from authorized service center. I can't risk it. If only Apple sells their refurbished iPhones here in PH, mas maganda.

Kung pasok sa budget ko, second-hand or possibly "third-hand" iPhones are viable.

Pero di talaga, eh. Ang cheap talaga ng Android phone, kayang kaya iperform ang mga ginagawa ko.

Still no. The phone itself is way too expensive for me to afford, and if that's not enough, the apps are expensive as well. And the only source for apps is the Apple store.

That means I would have bought a phone with its apps at great expense, but I've got no freedom to do what I want with it. Pass.

Of course not, lightning cables aren't the reason I don't like iPhones

Lightning ports are more rigid than USB-C ports, in my opinion. Even USBs are implemented universally, I can still vouch Apple for making their proprietary port lasted a decade. It's a testament of time. I've never heard, read, or experience damaged Lightning Port since its inception.

USB-C port ng laptop at Redmi Note 11 ko, naglo-loss na. Itong third-hand iPad 6 ko, parang brand new pa ang port, ang sarap saksakan. lol

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.
