Why is everyone’s solution to buy an android phone? As if buying a new phone is the solution to my music subscription going up by a few dollars 🤣🤣
Buying a phone that is able to store your music locally is definitely a solution
As far as I’m aware almost all phones will do this, including iPhones.
Let me rephrase that. You can pirate shit on android. You can't do that with iPhone.
You’re severely uninformed.
Huh, guess these FLAC files on my phone don't exist
Tell that to my collection of pirated music on my iphone. Do you usually tell lies or do you actually think you’re right?
For starters you can just transfer files.
Other than that, you can stream things with YTMusicUltimate and SpotC++ and then you also have many torrent clients, though all of these have to be sideloaded, so just choose two + use sidestore if you can’t jailbreak or use trollstore. There are also web apps and PWAs for these.
Yes that's the only cost, not a few dollars here for a sub, a few there for accessories, a few hundred for hardware.
You're getting nickel and dimed by them every step along the way, this is just another on the list.
This article is literally about subscriptions and somehow everyone has turned it into a hardware problem.
If your subscription goes up and you’re not happy…change it. Or cancel it. Buying a new phone is not the solution.
That may be what the original article was about, but this comment chain is about how idiots will keep paying their exorbitant fees over and over, as they continually nickel and dime you every step along the way. The solution is to buy a different phone, they don't mean walk out and buy it today, they mean the next time you would get a phone don't get an apple.
But by all means prove you're not an apple sheep by arguing with me about it, and forcing me to explain the basic facts you are avoiding. Enjoy your expensive marked up proprietary accessories, overpriced hardware, and ever-growing subscription fees!
What are you on about?! This comment chain was started by me asking why people are comparing hardware prices & subscription prices 🤦♂️
Subscribe to a different service. Choose to download your own music. Buy albums direct from the artists and rip them yourself. There are several solutions to switching away from Apple services. Whether you're willing to give up some inconvenience for the sake of switching is entirely up to you.
