@cockneylaurie @MarkHoltom iPhones tend to get used longer on average than Android phones, one reason being longer software update support from higher-end manufacturers like Google, Apple and Samsung. Apple doesn’t play in the low end segment of the market, so that skews things.

@ahltorp @MarkHoltom Interesting they say "It's no secret that iPhones live longer than Android phones." But quote no studies or such to support that statement
Most iPhone users I know change their phones out every 2 years because their contract allows that (which they pay through the nose for) or if they own it sell it off for a good price second hand. Personally I brought my android handset in November 2022 and am not in the market for anything new so that's a statement I have no reason to believe
I'm not sure that software support (bar security) worries most people at "the low end segment of the market" and I note the security updates on the OnePlus 13 are 6 years rather than the 4 for others, and frankly that's what matters for most folk
They blather on about "latest features" but it's a operating system... for most folk it's the apps that count and as long as they work (and quickly enough) ... well that’s good enough
(What kills most phones? Updates that slow it down!)

@MarkHoltom What a crying shame that more of those with vast wealth don't share Mane's perspective.
There are many examples. The Ethiopians that have become so dominant in marathon racing, for instance, are often motivated by the same principle that their personal success is to benefit their entire community.
When I visited Fiji many years ago, I met a child and he said in passing that his ambition in life was to become a pilot in order to provide for his community.

Sadio Mane, The Liverpool Star from Senegal (earning approximately 10.2 million dollars annually),has given the world a lesson in modesty after some fans spotted him carrying a cracked Iphone.His response is legendary:
"Why would I want ten Ferraris, 20 diamond watches and two jet planes? What would that do for the world? I starved, I worked in the fields, I played barefoot, and I didn't go to school. Now I can help people. I prefer to build schools and give poor people food or clothing. I have built schools [and] a stadium; we provide clothes, shoes, and food for people in extreme poverty. In addition, I give 70 euros per month to all people from a very poor Senegalese region in order to contribute to their family economy. I do not need to display luxury cars, luxury homes, trips, and even planes. I prefer that my people receive a little of what life has given me," Mane said.@MarkHoltom While this behavior is commendable when earnest, I don't feel we should paint Mané as an icon of virtue; he seems to have no moral qualms about participating in the Saudi Arabian sportswashing project or marrying a de facto child bride. This is to say nothing of the fact that, contrary to his claims, he has been documented maintaining a large luxury car collection.

Greed and habit…
Cultural attitudes. Many cultures valorize those that bring prosperity and well-being to the entire community. What the community values are those people who use their talents and skills to make all better off.

If Mané would rather keep his iPhone broken instead of shelling out for a replacement screen (or, let's be frank, a new phone), it's because it's expensive -

@cockneylaurie You have already explained what is happening here. Your iPhone-using acquaintances (perhaps because they have more disposable income) buy iPhones new. After a couple of years, they sell them to people who use them another couple of years. What did you think ”second hand” means?
But many people also buy new and use them for many years.
(And software updates are necessary in today’s world because of security issues)

@fh0
Can't we train our kids such morals?@nuwagaba2 I'm not convinced that lack of morals is the issue.
I think it's a complicated issue that I'm far from understanding fully.
I think 99% have good morals and only want the best for others. We also have in some countries systems in place to ensure a living standard for everyone (which is getting reduced, while the rich ones get richer). In our capitalist system also other things get into the focus and our standards and demands grow and grow

@IndyRichard they will.
it is logical and far superior for anybody with that kind of money to do things like Mane is doing than to not do so and thereby give 8 billion people 20 stupid reasons to kidnap their family members.
@falcennial
people like Musk seem not to care a lot about their family members being kidnapped…and: super rich people exist for too long already, if they would want to go that direction, they were there already

@ahltorp
"(And software updates are necessary in today’s world because of security issues)" No as i said Security Updates which generally are provided for longer are necessary.Updates for "new features" generally just bloat the phone and slow it down, so as to give you more wallpapers or some such. (Actually on Android many apps never require anything but the version before two that your phone comes with.
"What did you think ”second hand” means?" Really implied insults - Blocked
