The first paragraph, I can get along with and understand where you're coming from.
The second paragraph, could you elaborate what you mean by "eat up your phone plan just by existing"? I personally use an iPhone and have had very normal data usage rates that is accurately tracked through both the phone and my carrier's app.
Also regarding borrowing a charger, they just moved to USB-C so that will be a non-issue a few years down the road when lightning is phased out.
Plus how can you hold "borrowing a charger" against a phone company? If you don't have a charger on hand that's your fault.
Because they insisted on using the inferior lightning connector instead of using USB C like everyone else.
Yes, that would've been a very valid reason for that person to not recommend an apple product. But to not recommend it because they can't borrow one from everyone around them is such a weird way to put it that I didn't even consider Apple's absurd reasoning for using the lightning connector
