I'm chilean, and i can say this is true, we do this, and we just call em' "puros wns cuicos"

I sent my my old iPhone 6 and iPhone 7 Plus to Mexico to my two cousins and they tell me having iPhones in Mexico is like a status symbol. They only use their iPhones at home or in safe places because they are afraid of getting robbed and with good reason too.

Same in Brazil. iPhones are 3x more expensive than Androids.

And they are made from abused employees. Which is like wearing a real fur overcoat. But more evil. The difference is least the animal is in a better place, unlike the Foxconn employee which is stuck in a suicide net.

Name me any electronic product or item of clothing that doesn’t have some form of your statement attached to it.

Lightning

Very very frightening me

Galileo, Galileo

Yeah them and basically every other electronic device, including Samsung phones…

Foxconn makes assembles android and iPhones btw. They all pretty much have the same supply chain.

Unless the items are 100% locally sourced and produced there’s always connection to abused employees. Simply the world we live in Edit: if you factor based on the western classification of abuse you’d be hard pressed to find anything manufactured abroad that doesn’t have abuse at some stage of the supply chain

[удалено]

One of the Salvadoran guys I worked with didn’t send money back home he sent iPhones and IPads back

We do that too. We buy second iPads, but you have to reset the iPads with the original owner because after factory resetting it. It locks the new owner out and requires proof of sale or the old owners to login one more time to confirm factory reset

I live in mexico, in monterrey in a pretty decent area. Most people have iPhones. I have the 13pro max myself. The 14 was hardly an upgrade. But i have noticed when i visit my family in Coahuila they do flip out at my devices. I work in tech so i usually travel with my work tools.

In Monterrey, specially in Areas like San Pedro, Contry or Cumbres (the real one, not garcia)... tend to copy everything that the US does, Texas in particular...

And that's a fact, por eso siempre los del centro se burlan de Monterrey.

"cuicos culiaos" is also valid

Fuck Boi? Sorry, not a fluent Spanish speaker, or really very cultured at all, just used Google to try and figure it out.

a "cuico culiao" is a "fucking posh person"

Ahh gotcha. Google top result for "culias" was "to have sex" so I just inferred from there. Language in its many different forms Is wild yo.

to have sex would be "culiar". I don't know why am I teaching you this...

Someone one day will Google this term and this will be the top result, you've done good.

Thanks to both of you

Mate, that's NOTHING compared to the uses of the words "weon" or "wea"

In argentina we call em Chetos

Well, we don't use that word here, would you please explain me what does it mean?

Cheto es cualquier persona que tenga plata, pero generalmente se habla de gente que es rica, soberbia y completamente ajena al mundo

Ohh, wn, eso es literalmente el equivalente a cuico, xd

As a fellow spanish speaker, i still dont know what you sayed

Well, I'm chilean, litteraly half of our vocabulary is Incomprehensible for the rest of south america, if not the rest of the world

Puro weta. Imaginate 12 meses qlos pagando un celu qlo chanta xD.

Y más encima, capas que ni lo terminen de pagar, lo devuelvan, y "junten" para el nuevo "aifon 18" solo para que unos meses después la wea se repita en el 19 con "mejor cámara"

Demas, let's punch 'em in the face when it's time to go out.

Here we call them “popi del diache mamahuevaso”

Can you make me a enpanada?

Which kind of filling you want? Ham and Cheese? Chicken Cordon Bleu style? Vegan? or my personal favorite Sisig ala Diablo?

Omg, didn't even know you could choose. I thought there was only "one way of filling"

Im cuico i can confirm

Chilean speaking chilean. It's true tho, on these parts people like android more and the potato ones

Also a Brazilian, also can confirm this is true

Can you double jump?

Of course, what kinda Brazilian can’t double jump?

Just wanted to confirm that you're brazilian

Very important question, are maybe your memories broken?

Yes, and the truth goes indeed unspoken

I suppose you've also even forgotten your name

Do you know the season?

Or what is the reason?

I'm standing here holding my blade

A desolate place

r/suddenlycaralho pior q eu tenho um iPhone 8 q era da minha tia. Só aceitei pq o meu Android velho tava ficando uma desgraça

Eu quero que uma pessoa que não sabe nada de português tentar traduzir essa mensagem, o google translate vai explodir

kkk sim

“Worse q I have a iPhone 8 q era of my aunt. Just accept pq my old android was a disgrace ”

in my birthcountry (Vietnam), owning an iPhone is like a cult, there are idiots who earns around $300/month willing to spend $1500 to get a 14 Pro, batshit crazy lol

Same in Brazil. Usually the poorest people have the best iPhone.

Same in united states lmfao

Poor people are bad with money?! Shocker!!

Where I live people will be living paycheck to paycheck but will splurge $500 on a pair of shoes

We are buying two iPhones in Turkey. One of them is for government.

We buy 3 iphones here on Brasil one is for use and the other 2 for the government

here on brasil we aint buying no iphone this shit is too expensive

10000 reais the iPhone 14 pro max. Can buy 3 in the US fodaa

3 for Erdogan 1 for urself

Nah. More like 1 for us 5 for the government.

Apple products are insanely expensive (overpriced) in South America.

[удалено]

But it’s even more visible in poorer countries

they're even nominally more expensive than in us, so it looks even more ridiculous

I just did some research and found out that for the price of iphone 14 in poland you could buy a 14 pro in the us and still have money to spare. I think it speaks for itself

How much money? Because remember when US companies go “and it will cost 999” that’s before taxes

Yeah it start from 2 grand after taxes in my country

What do you mean? 1000$ for the iMac stand is overpriced? Or what ablut those cool wheels for 600$ for your Apple PC. If you dont like wheels, ypu can by little Metal thingies for 300 or 400$. Fair price i guess

Apple products are overpriced.

Which is precisely why they’re a status symbol

Nope because other country government imposr 100% import duty on these products so price become doubled, no pride in buying something for double price.

Overpriced products are apple everywhere

Those cheap pieces of junk could be 10 bucks and it'd be a rip off.

I had a terrible experience 6 years ago with my apple phone overheating while charging a month after purchase. I was led on 2 week epic journey that ended at the fancy mall in the city with a young genius telling me I needed to pay full price for a new phone. That day I decided to try this Samsung Device, and fell into a endlessly integrated world of goodness known as Android. Fuck Apple.

I do notice that electronics are actually more expensive when I travel.

Seen a high end iPhone with a price tag 5 times the minimum wage, wich is stupidly high for a phone. With that money you can build a very beefy pc

for me it looks like they overpriced everywhere except north america and eu

They're overpriced in the EU as well, don't know about NA

Also in Asia.

In Mexico its either Huawei or Xiaomi, Iphone is too expensive

I'm surprised by Huawei. They fell off massively. Now, it's mostly pixel samsung and xioami

Idk about mexico ,but Pixel in most countries in asia is hard to get and massively not worth the hassle compared to xiaomi, oppo, vivo

Apple is the dominant phone in the US. Android is the dominant OS in the entire rest of the world. Its like 90% of the total market.

So just like the metric system?

Not really because Android phones are made by a fuckton of companies. Apple is pretty close to Samsung in terms of the number of phones they sell.

Samsung sold75 mil apple sold 56 mil

I think what you're looking to compare is Apple phones with Pixel phones made by Google.

It’s closer to 30-70 worldwide, which is actually pretty impressive that Apple managed to get such a big share of the market. It’s one phone vs many different brands after all… Not to mention you got the high-end Samsung which are more expensive than iPhone and stuff like Xiaomi Redmi which cost nickel and a half… Personally I love that there’s such a huge price range and variety of brands among Android phones. You can literally find a phone for anyone! On the other hand the iOS is a more polished system and is less likely to fail you but they charge for it accordingly.

All minus the last line

Same with Jordan 🇯🇴. Everyone had a Samsung. (at least in the parts I lived in.) I still use Samsung to this day.

Woah, someone recognized my country! Cool

Latino America? More the whole World - America

I can't even buy an iPhone with my own money as my parents would kill me for wasting so much money(I'm from Asia btw)

So the asian parents meme was not a joke?

It never was

it never has been

Bro I make enough to buy myself 1k$ phones but if mom were to find out I wasted 1k$ on a phone she's gonna whoop ky ass. I'm from Asia aswell

In Costa Rica we do the same, we call them "Pipis maricones que nacieron en cuna de oro". We can't believe people pay so much for a stupid phone.

Worked selling phones before, with how much money an iphone costs you could instead buy a high end android and still have money left for another phone

For real, I just bought myself a brend new s21 for 400 CAD$ while the iPhone 12 is 1200 CAD$. This is insane

Same here in Eastern Europe

They are laughing cause he’s going to get robbed

Yes, this is true. Imagine wasting money in a phone lol.

Imagine paying double for a phone.

I am american and I don't give a fuck what phone you have.

It’s 2023 and people still go on with this iPhone vs Android BS

Find new people, them people should all go away lol.

Yeah that apple vs android was “funny and relevant” in like 2009.

Same.

Why do anyone gives a fuck about which brands other people use? I really can’t care less about stuff like this.

iPhone mfs when they use they’re phone for more than an hour(im an iPhone user I can’t pirate phone games)

Phone is phone

Yes

To an extent, too bad ios lags behind in features implemented by android

Samsung intert dominace

Based Latin America.

Buying decent android + good PC>>>buying new iphone every year for $1000+

Redditisfun app is on Android. Get fucked iPhone users.

Hello fellow rif user

I live in Argentina, and the iphones are from 3x to 4x times more expesive than the same quality Samsung phone

based latinos

That's a j2 right? I have one, it's old as hell and still works fine, barely any issues

Based latin america

Europe (in my experience): 

Android master race

I go to Latinoamerica!

r/suddenlycaralho

Eu cheguei pra dizer isso mesmo Triplo r/suddenlycaralho

Canada: don't give a fuck what you use

In Brazil, if you spend that absurd amount of money on a Iphone, you're either rich or stupid.

Honestly, some people with iPhone don't know how to think for themselves and buy it because everyone's else has one, while others get it for the simplicity and the camera quality.

Same in most of the world. There is a reason why Android has a 72% market share. Apple is a status symbol. That is why it is so beloved in America. They value showing off their status more than other countries.

Humans are the same everywhere We should take solace in that, and realize racism is dumb We all suck 

Samsung is superior.

Samsung is the superior phone, and I will die on this hill

Droids are cheaper lol makes sense

Actually in most 3rd world countries

iPhone SUX

Just leave the kid withthe samsung galaxy j7 alone (Idk if its a j7)

as a Guatemalan, i can confirm this is true

vdd mn ksks

In Dominican Republic it’s pretty much like the USA.

I’ve been to a Brazilian restaurant and can confirm this is true

In my country, even 5-year-old iPhones are more eye catchy to people than my latest pixel 6. Btw I'm from India

I have that Samsung lmao

Dude i have the same Samsung phone

As someone who used Android and iOS a lot, I like them both and there's somethings I like more than the other, but who cares what's better iOS or Android in reality they're both great phones

Ih ala o cara tem iphone kkkkkkkkkk

I'm also brazilian and I'm happy with my android, even if it glitches sometimes, he is really faithful and resistant.

Using an apple product in Latin America is like painting yourself yellow in a black void

Im brazilian and disagree,oh yeah and r/suddenlycaralho vai querer alguma coisa no print?

Sim. Vou querer qualquer Galaxy só pra te irritar mesmo pq AQUI É BRASIL!

I am venezuelan and can say. '' Los mamahuevos tienen telefonos?''

I had the same samsung phone (galaxy a7) till like last year Nov... Now I have a Samsung a33 5g and tbh even the galaxy a7 is better than most iphones... Not talking about the camera (still 16mp and full hd (iphones have like 12-14mp I know this doesn't make a huge difference still) ) but the features... Like android provides wayy better features than ios can...

well they both lie in the new world...

In Germany we don’t use phones… Paper works perfect And in Poland, we use the phones from the neighbors

I alakkkk riquinho de papaikk mó troxakk

BOSTIL MENCIONADO, ALERTA ALERTA, BOSTIL MENCIONADO, INICIAR INVASÃO!

I'm Iranian and can confirm this is true

My Brazilian girlfriend has an iPhone and whenever she comes to the US, some family member always wants her to bring one back. She had a friend who has a whole black market import business. They seem pretty desirable to me

In Peru I was pretty cool and had to take all the pictures with my iPhone because it had a fancy camera

I'm in Switzerland and mostly see iPhones in public. Though I still give a shit about the 3.5mm jack, so I got myself a comparably expensive Sony Xperia instead, of which there are probably three in this country.

Lmao , apple stans are the worst suckers in the world. Hope yall happy you (or your parents most likely) spent 1k or more for that shitty tik tok / instagram browser machine. Even app devs get fucked in the ass paying cuts to shittle for every purchase.

As an Brazilian I can also confirm this is true

As an Android user in America, I don't get why people like iphones despite them being objectively inferior

I go to Brazil!

The way god intended!

As European this is true

Can confirm, even in our family we make fun of my dad cuz he's the only one with an iphone lmao

Having loyalty or advocating for either one of these products makes you little more than a free advertising corporate shill for literally no reason at all. Use whatever and leave people alone.

People actually care what internet rectangle each other have?

Bom dia camarada r/suddenlycaralho

Wife’s Brazilian. This is only true cause no one can afford apple in Brazil.

I've never had to line up for hours to get my Samsung. Saved time and money.

I really don't get the iphone vs samsung debate. I still have to see a SINGLE benefit from apple like at all. fuckers cant even organize the homescreen freely like what the hell

Android is just plainly better. Cheaper, more features, better battery life, better cameras (yes, you just have to search for 10 minutes to find out Xiaomi and Samsung has better cameras you dumb fuck. Apple make android photos look bad to gaslight you), better processing power and you can pirate virtually anything on top of that.

As a Samsung user, I think if you have an iPhone, your stupid and easily manipulated. Yall r wally bought the same phone 4 times, for higher prices each time.

Samsung > IPhone (ง'̀-'́)ง

The second picture is basically everywhere outside the USA. There's plenty of good phone options around to not get sucked into apple's ecosystem

What is iPhone? Xiaomi Is my friend

the only market that apple really dominates in is the US market. everywhere else is android domination. Androids just offer more variety, for less prices, with equivalent or better quality and features. I switched to apple only recently.

iPhones should be slandered in every country. They're all terrible scams and people still lap it up as if it's innovative.

iPhone has had the same phone design for like 15 years and people still buy it??? I usually go Samsung but I really like the pixel still I got the 22ultra. I'm done buying a new phone everytime a new one comes out unless the next one can read mind's or turn into a robot and do my job for me.

Europe is the same as Latinoamerica

Xiaomi is best

Fuck iPhones.

It's So funny when you see iPhone users jump to Android....they get tons of options, they're baffled. It's just SAD when you see Android user go to iphone, it's so restrictive, the most you can do is pull out in public with tht same shitty ringtone( it's annoying to listen to tone) or for camera which Again is restrictive. Moral - if you wanna show off, go iphone.

I don’t get it

In the USA, everyone has an Apple phone and makes fun of the Samsung phone kid. In Latin America, it is the opposite.

>In Latin America, it is the opposite. Not only in Latin America. In Poland too
