        Haidy, 10 Aug 2024No SD card slot, no buy. :pI always say, vote with your wallet!! Why pay extra for a phone that does less? No SD card, no headphone jack, no app sideloading, no buy. Feels good playing Nintendo Gamecube games stored in my SD card on my 200€ Redmi through my wired earphones!! I get split screen, floating windows, custom launchers and modded apps, too. And also a 90Hz FHD display, in contrast to the $800 iPhone's 60Hz! Plus, preinstalled screen protector, and bundled charging brick and back case in the box, too. Such a nice time to be a midrange Android user! I remember the times when phones in this price range were unusable ewaste that couldn't watch youtube videos, had the worst TFT screens you had ever seen, and came with 4GB of storage that was full out of the box from all the bloat..

                      Don’t buy the first production run iPhones, always are badly assembled and rushed out the door with very little quality control. I remember a few years ago many were chipped or scratched right from the factory.

                                  Gandzou, 10 Aug 2024So 3 euro per hour. That’s some shitty pay apple. If you think that is shitty pay, then you don't know anything about economy, globalisation.

                                  In india they pay about $200 per month maximum for the same work.
                                  In china the wage is far better cause it's around $800 per month or a bit more.
                                  .
                                  In western countries, most people don't understand that how much previlaged they are.
                                  I heard through CNBC that minimum wage is like $20/hour in McDonalds New York maybe.
                                  Come to Mumbai and you will be get around $150 to $200/month for the same job.

                                  Western gets higher pay that's why they can live a higher standard of life.
                                  Others are just doomed and pressed by stupid policies.

                                  Do try to research if you want to know more.

                                  Conditions in Africa is way worse.
                                  Asia is still better compared to other continents although depends on many factors.
