Weird that in an affordability crisis fewer people would spend oodles of money on marginal hardware upgrades buried under AI features that degrade performance, offer next to no value, and completely remove what meager privacy protections phones used to offer.
No, it's the customers who are wrong.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.
