"I don't like iPhone"


My brother repeat after me: I will never be Poor!!!

If I have to spend a thousand dollar plus on a phone I will still not buy an iPhone I'd rather buy a good one plus product perhaps a nice Samsung note 20 plus. It doesn't have anything to do with poverty. It's a matter of choice.
