between the back and forth as you guys about it. The only thing I don't like about mine, because I'm on the iPhone 6s Plus right now, is how Apple, while they cater to certain groups of people, you know, which is good, it's also not very friendly for people who aren't blind. Because for example, if you got an iPhone or Kevin got an iPhone, well, within, we'll say the next three years, they're already three miles ahead and yours is already out of date. So that's my only complaint against iPhone. They always have to keep jumping and getting ahead, getting ahead, getting ahead. And then, you know, it gets really expensive and hard to find parts for older ones, like mine. Yeah, they already have like- manufacturer, they're exactly the same way. Samsung puts out like four different new phones every year, with all updated specs, right? But you can get lower priced ones for the newer devices. There's always like a budget tier. Now, unfortunately the budget tier, when it comes to iPhones is still like $700. But like you say, it is expensive, but every manufacturer puts out new equipment every year, it's just how it is in tech. Apple is just unfortunately a bit more expensive than the rest. Yeah, they already have a few new models. Well, no, they have one more from the one I already have with the blind shell. I'll just buy it, right? It's not a toughie for me. I know it is for most other people, but that's where even blind alike, you have a touch of reality. People aren't gonna just get everything for you, you know? These things cost money. Freeride's gotta stop somewhere, right? Now perhaps maybe providers like Verizon, Comcast, Rogers, TELUS, perhaps they'll put it as part of their plans so you can lease the phone, but that's not what they're about. They're about trying to get you to get the latest A5, Google, amazing, whatever the hell, right? I mean, they have phones they promote. They're not gonna promote something that they're not. That's not the majority. Oh, the blind shell runs on Android 10, and apparently Android 10 is like, you can manipulate it to do a lot of things you want it to. It's got a lot of programming, things you can do with it. The way I know that is because when I read my PayPal receipts and my Amazon receipts, it'll tell me that they came. Somebody from an Android 10 device has logged in as you. Is that you? No, I have an evil twin. Who do you think it is? But anyways, yeah, so I've seen the receipts and I'm looking for it where that comes up. Anyways, yeah, I mean, the reality is for at least older blind folks, people ain't just gonna pay you away. Eventually you gotta get away from your mother's titties. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven, November, Quebec, November, this is two Kevin, even Android 10 now is six years old. It's gone crazy, but it is. These new operating systems, man, they're coming out every single year with a new version. And every new version adds new stuff, adds new features, new bells, new whistles. And when it comes to a device that's adapted for someone who's blind, like you say, you're still using Windows XP and perfectly fine with it, providing if you can still get up-to-date services, which there's no damn reason why people can't still write an up-to-date browser that runs on XP or an up-to-date something. There's no reason why they can't do that. They just don't because they want everybody to move on to newer technology, newer computers, newer processors, more RAM, bigger hard drives. It's like very, very, very, very crazy. And I'm one of those people, man, I love new, faster, more powerful computers because I'm into things like video editing and lately gaming streaming. That's something that I just started doing. I can play my Steam Deck and have people watch it live on YouTube because I've got a streaming setup and all that running here now. It's pretty cool stuff, but you need top of the line hardware to be able to do that stuff. So it's a pain in the ass because stuff is expensive.
