    Not even trying to be edgy here, but I personally wouldn’t consider buying a used apple product (that has a battery).

    My Mac laptops for work have all failed before the standard 3 year auto-renewal period. Two failed hard drives in the earlier laptops, and 2 failed batteries in the newer laptops. My partner and his family are all iPhone users, and from the observation of a casual yucky outsider (aka Android user), there seems to be a high rate of failure with the batteries. Like, I went the first 10 years of my smartphone existence without even knowing that lithium batteries swell up and die, to now I hear about it on the regular because of Apple products.

    “My batteries keep dying for some reason, so I just buy new apple phones all the time!”

    I mean, selling my old iPhone couldn’t pay for my lunch. I’m an Apple user but I don’t see the point of this ad.

    This sounds like an algorithm-made ads that pull random joke comment from reddit and then give it a random name.

    Duh. If he’s in debt, he just needs to buy more iPhones to resell them at a lower value. This is not hard to understand.

    Or better still, create a network of resellers who would buy iPhones in exchange for recruiting additional iPhone resellers (imagine a pyramid). The growth potential is almost infinite!
