Dear Apple, on behalf of the plebs who value freedom and sound money, open networks over walled gardens, self-sovereignty over state-corporate control, this is a message to you...

You broke the brick which is worth more then the phone..
I see this as an ad for iPhones, like how sturdy are they now? It breaks the brick, this is the Nokia 3210 meme in reverse 😂
Actually you are doing Apple a favor by destroying the iPhone because this is going to be one less iPhone that can be sold to the used market and one more brand new iPhone that can be made profit with by Apple.
It's about the symbolism.
I'm not so dumb to think removing a single phone from the world will itself affect anything.
It's about making a statement.
Nothing more than a extremely childish behavior!
My intention was to make a clear statement that would draw attention to the cause against Apple's anti-freedom anti-Bitcoin practices.
Clearly I succeeded.
By even commenting on this you are giving it more attention. Thank you.
Statement? What statement should that be? I don’t like a decision someone in a big company made, so I will smash the hardware I bought before 🤡
Sorry to say, but it’s the same childish behavior like russians who destroyed there Apple products after Apple stopped there services operations.
As has been mentioned by multiple others - in 2014 Apple removed all Bitcoin wallets, people smashed iPhones, Apple reversed the decision.
But if you need this spelling out to you here it is:
I used to be an Apple customer. I have spent at least $10k on their products in the past.
I am no longer willing to spend a single penny or sat with them ever again.
As the "go to tech guy" near enough everyone I know asks me what new phone to buy, what new laptop to buy... do you think I will recommend Apple to them ever again?
I am encouraging other plebs to follow my example (which they will) to show it's not only me, it is many of us they have now lost, people who are their most lucrative customers, people who think nothing of smashing an iPhone to pieces and have money that would have gone to Apple but now won't.

Fucking hero!
Valhalla has a place for you among the Gods.

You destroy a phone you already bought! Oh no, what is Tim Cook doing next?
Correct he is counting the money you spend on the phone 🤷🏻♂️
That is so silly.
People did this in 2014. Back then Apple slowly removed EVERY SINGLE BITCOIN WALLET on their App Store. Only after enough protests did they bring them back. They might be starting their old shenanigans again.
Apple doesn't give a fuck one way or another
Yeah, I get it. But, if they really do go back to "no crypto" again, crypto folk will get another phone. How many people is that? I wouldn't think too many at all. But if it was enough people to get them to change their mind in 2014, it's certainly more than enough people to stop them from doing it now.
Man smashed the whole brick too. He wasn't playing no games 😂😂😂
nostr:note1qtpjtpqan5azt54l96uf8z9scz9teulznspwrw6gj8u9mk95kj0szmamjs Apple forcing Damus to remove the Zap feature is another reminder that we need to be finding alternatives to these big tech companies. We need to become more self sovereign and take back control and responsibility for the services we use
👀
YEAH!.. WOOHOO!..👏👏👏👍🧡💜💎🤠🗽
To the people saying I wasted money, you're missing two important points:
1. It's a symbol and symbols are powerful
2. If I think nothing of smashing an iPhone just think how much lost revenue losing my custom presents to Apple
3. Buy a Plebphone preinstalled with GrapheneOS then smash your iPhone - make it bigger than me
I’m going to take a moment and appreciate how many times you had to hit it before it went dead. 🤣
Tbf I smashed it quite a bit after it was already dead cuz of the adrenaline 😅
Oh I waited for the screen to go out. Not disappointed, NGL. 🤣
Good show mate. Can’t take anything away from your passion and conviction.
It was a lot of fun!
A fellow pleb is joining me in this shortly. But this individual owns an AK... 🤣
Imagine destroying $500 instead of selling it
Got this 2014 feeling right now 🤔

You could have sold and converted it into sats, and zapped during a #zapathon to #nostr plebs, would have made a better gesture.
I'm being zapped quite a bit which will be redistributed among plebs, naturally.
I'm also selling Plebphones which are Pixels preloaded with GrapheneOS for sats.
Not an apple fan but destroying working hw is stupid.
amazing lol destroy your OWN apple products while apple still lets you do it
Are androids better🤣💥
If they are de-googled absolutely.
Even if they aren't, you can still use F-Droid etc.
If you want privacy and security you want GrapheneOS which is an Android fork. You are not getting either from iPhones.
Exchange control for Sats
This looks like a not very eco friendly destruction of an apparently still functional phone. 😡
That was surprisingly satisfying
That was surprisingly satisfying
:( poor phone, he didn't hurt nobody...
اوه خدای من😬😬😬
Protip for fixing this!
With Apple up to their old bullshit again I feel like bringing this back 😅
