Right but if you life in a densely populated area and you're not an outdoorsy person, there isn't really a situation where you're going to need it.

That's like saying you can't plan for emergencies, so you better back that lead anti-radiation suit wherever you go. You know if you're the type of person that needs such a thing or not.

Apple loves adding stupid bs stuff to justify the new products.

My iPhone uses a face scanner to unlock and a third of the time it can’t recognize my face and I have to enter a password anyway.

Everyday when I’m driving to or from work my gps is popping up with notifications telling me things I don’t need to know. If I left my house 5 minutes ago I’ll get a notification that I’m 5 minutes from my house.

If I connect to a Bluetooth speaker I’ll get notifications that my “headphones” are too loud and the volume is being lowered.

I miss my old iPhone and I miss being able to plug in wired headphones and not having to carry around a plastic box to keep my headphones charged or risk them falling out at work and getting dirty or lost

And PlayStation and Xbox, as Sony and Microsoft are also Foxconn clients. HP printers, Dell computers, Kindle and Echo devices, the list goes on.

I’d wager that many if not most American households have at least one product built by Foxconn even if they own zero Apple products.

Foxxcon doesn’t just manufacture iPhones.

So your tech is made in hell. Even Smart TVs. If you’re a consumer, you contribute.

This is how brands make billions, by treating humans as modern day slaves.
