    Who the hell asks for a cable as a flex?

    Who the hell has such an inferiority complex that they think someone asking for an iphone cable is a flex?

      There are people who based their entire personality on their Apple products, and I’m not even exaggerated.

      On my social media’s feed the other day, someone posted “I’m literally crying during the apple event, I felt disrespected by apple and the new iphone”.

      I was like “wtf does that even mean, dude.”

        I’m sure there’s plenty of stupid on tinder, an iphone is a lousy metric. Used ones can be had for far cheaper than the mistake of wasting money trying to date someone like that.

        I feel the same…because I feel dumb for having not thought to bring my own or adequately charge my phone. If anything else, I’m probably irritated too because of the proprietary cable means I can’t just use any old USB-C, or micro/mini usb that are so ubiquitous.

      There are areas in the world where the overpriced iPhone costs more then a persons income for 2 - 3 months or even more. Owning such a device is a matter of status and overcoming low self esteem by association with a famous brand.

      In short: a lot of people.
