    My kids are around that age and it’s a real struggle when all of their friends have one.

      There is a growing tide of data suggesting the fight is worth it, but understand it is a serious struggle.

      Much like trying to get kids to eat healthy when they are surrounded by so much awful food in the US.

        I wish I didn’t need an Android phone for work, WhatsApp, Telegram, maps.

        But I sadly do.

            No sane people use iPhones where I live. It was a thing of glamorous girls and people not doing actual work for some time, but now even them I don’t see with iPhones.

            For me personally - as it’s something I need, but not something I want to invest into, nor something I like, the Android phone I use for these things (another SIM) was almost as cheap as the dumbphone I use for calls. Comparable to groceries for a week.

            I don’t think there are iPhones one can buy for that price, ha-ha.
