(Sacrifice is not normally part of my vocabulary, but I can't think of anything more appropriate here😄)

I'm not that much of a technology freak anyway, but I think that the price-performance ratio is much better with mid-range devices.

But that doesn't apply specifically to iPhones, I wouldn't generally spend that much money on a new cell phone. Only for gaming, that makes much more sense 😄

I don't have an iphone but a Mac Book. I used to think that Apple was no good and completely overrated. But I can assure you that you'll never switch from a Mac Book to Windows again, and for good reason. As soon as you have familiarized yourself with it, you will notice the extreme advantages. These are mainly in the operation and functionality.


Less or even hardly susceptible to viruses, no crashes and a long-lasting battery. You never actually switch off a Mac Book. It's always running and when you're not using it, you simply close it. The fact that the design is many times better than the competition is just an added bonus.

As I said, I'm not talking about the iphone. If you've never had a Mac Book before, then I can only recommend that you get one. You'll thank me for it later on. It simplifies so much and is so much better than most other laptops that run Windows.

In the days of 2009 it was also all mega exciting, especially when Steve Jobs was still alive, but after his departure it got better in terms of numbers, but the visionary was dead, and the next in the chain was someone who only cares about money, that's why Apple is now at this point where little innovation is coming because they don't want to do anything wrong, the Vision pro is the hardest at the price and hasn't really been thought through to the end.


Another funny thing is the airpod max 2, which now only has USB C, now that's what I call innovative 😆

Well, everyone as he wants. Some people probably say to you too, he's crazy to hang out on gamblejoe every day. They only stood in line for a few hours and then had the phone and then their time and you are just "24/7" on gamblejoe. (A bit of an exaggeration, but I think you know what I mean). 😁 To each his own as long as it's peaceful I think. Fortunately, people are not all the same

No question, I agree with you.

That's why I didn't write that I want to knock people's new cell phones out of their hands, but that I don't have one myself.

I just can't understand this thinking, the new iPhone is coming and I have to be one of the first to have it and stand in line for hours to get it. But yes, to each his own 😄

I have to admit that I was in a similar situation once, when GTA V came out in 2013.

Back then, the publisher went to great lengths to ensure that the game wasn't sold or received by customers before the official release.
I then ordered it from a smaller but well-known games retailer that always shipped other games before release and then at least guaranteed delivery on the release day for GTA. It was really my nightmare I couldn't get the game on time and my buddies already... 😂

In the end, unfortunately, they left a box of mail somewhere between the store and the shipping point and my game didn't arrive on time. I was really p**sed off. 😂
And the next day I had an appointment when the game arrived and couldn't play either...
It was only eleven years ago, but I could laugh at myself for it, looking back...

And what's also important of course... I'm here because of the wonderful people, and not because of an item... 😬😂
