    I’m not convinced that capitalism could make phones better than the ones we have, for the reasons stated, and I’m not sure that not-capitalism could have made phones as good.

    Which maybe wouldn’t be all bad when you consider all the slaves and stuff.

    But this implied idea that we should have or are owed better phones is maybe worth some zooming out and some suspicion.

      I think the idea isn’t about the quality of the phone, or any other product. It’s about the relationship between the company and the customers.
