True. I am sorry for not specifying it, I should’ve done it. Of course if someone gets a cheap 100$ phone out of necessity, it is very weird of me to judge this person.
You know, you’re right. I’ve deleted my main comment - I think this topic cannot be broken down that easily. While I am concerned that privacy laws are often ridiculed by big companies, my comment was very classist. So thanks for calling me out, I feel weird about it now.
Yes, absolutely. But many cheap devices are relatively data-friendly, and many expensive are data collection machineries.
While there is obviously a correlation, it definitely isn’t a causality, and I feel strange breaking it down like that.

Sometimes people don’t buy cheap things by choice

you can get older flagships for $100 on eBay that work way better then a new $100 low end phone. And you can even put custom roms on them
As if expensive phones are any better

Oh, no need to feel weird about it. Many devices have gotten cheaper than their alternatives because of the grotesque amount of data they collect.
So assuming that cheaper means more invasive seems perfectly plausible, I can’t fault you for that.

They don’t know better.
