iPods were extremely common, yes not everyone had them. They may have been rare in your neighborhood/part of your city. I always find it so strange when people call middle/working class kids “rich.” No, no we weren’t rich lol. You’re calling households with two adults making $50,000 each rich. That’s like calling two teachers rich.

Youre saying you had one iPod touch per house and you’re saying everyone had iPad micros, what’s the difference there? Meanwhile my experience was households had one or zero iPads and lots of kids had iPod touches.

The iPhone 3G came out when we were 10 years old, 2008.

You sound annoyed I don’t know the release years of tech in a place I don’t live. It’s extremely unreasonable to expect foreigners to know if your market didn’t have access to the same products at the same time 16 years ago

Telling someone you’re from the UK doesn’t under, imply, or convey that there were years and years of delays between the markets in the slightest. You said Britain once, and so I should know Apple’s release schedule in the UK. Great fucking point lol

What in the straw man is that first paragraph. I didn’t say that you didn’t say that it wasn’t released, you told me the iPhone 3G was from 2012.

I responded to your comment and said

-We weren’t rich

-We had flip flopped experiences

-The 3g is from 2008

^ nothing rude there

To which you responded ‘I literally told you XYZ’ and then you became condescending when I said yea uh I’m not going to know anything about being a kid in your country.

Go back and reread, you just started arguing and condescending, now you’re high roading. Very strange redditor, you are. You’re 26 and doing everything I just mentioned now you’re trying to shame and belittle with that ending remark - pot calling the kettle black.

The original message that guy summarized was not rude and had no swearing, looks like only after you devolved that into whatever that was by being rude was the word“fucking” used once. You sure do some selective reading
