A Day on the Pale Blue Dot - 4

Wednesday, 3rd May 2023

Apples & Droids!

It was another working day without much happening. At office finished off some work that was started yesterday. A colleague bought a new phone. An iPhone 13. She was an Android user and is new to iPhone. Curious to know about why she made the switch, I asked her. Well, she just wanted to feel and get to know what the thing about iPhone is that everyone talks about. I asked her if she is into videography or photography, since iPhone camera is definitely awesome. To that she replied in negative. She mentioned it is more secure. Well, I did not think it was a very solid reason to spend ₹70k - it may be more than ₹40k - ₹50k more than an Android phone with similar specifications. But her life, her rules. 😀

During our morning tea break, another colleague asked me if I did not like iPhones. To which I replied that it is not that I do not like iPhones, it is just that I can get what I want with an Android phone at a much lesser price. For example, the current phone I am using, Redmi Note 10 Pro, has served me excellently well for more than 2 years. Even today I get around a day and half of battery on it (touchwood), allows me to take pretty good photographs and videos. Pretty content with it.

I would put that extra money elsewhere - since I am looking to grow wealth - a goal I started taking seriously only recently. May be more on that in another post.

If at all someday, I need to do something that requires an iPhone or Apple product, I would buy it. For example, maybe I want to do something related to media and some serious video editing or 3D rendering, then I might opt for an Apple product.

Back home, ended the day watching Seinfeld over dinner.

Until tomorrow, tada!
