Iphone is the superior phone for people that really dont want to know how a operating system works and dont want to learn either. Always when i talk about something i do on my phone that Apple has locked its users out of doing my iPhone-friends go "That sounds complicated" when its mostly basic af. I would not even dare call myself a power-user, because i am not. Its just that iphone is perfect for the tech illiterate.

Hm, we should start saying iPhones are for boomers, that'll probably change the tide lmao

TBH boomers and gen-z are quite alike when it comes to tech savviness and social media use, especially when something isn't an app.

Apple's whole shtick for a long time now is ease of use. In that way, one could argue that they played a part in the current level of tech illiteracy (though if people wanted to learn tech in the first place, they wouldn't have succeeded, but I disgress). So, they're just harvesting the fruits of their labor. Pun absolutely intended.
