How to tell the good/bad guys apart: look who's using Apple phones

OK, so Rian Johnson is the one person to make an actual whodunnit in the last decade. But if he can't make a movie without kowtowing to advertisers, well, I guess that explains why anything interesting is coming from Netflix these days.
Knives Out was interesting. And good, too.

Well then, I am pleased to announce that I am very much a villain. I think Apple phones are over-priced pieces of plastic. It also tends to be the phone of choice for the self-indulgent, entitled idiots* of our generation.

*Please note that I am not saying all iPhone users are self-indulgent and entitled idiots, just that I have noticed a trend that a somewhat large number of self-indulgent and entitled idiots use iPhones. Same with drivers of BMW's. You may now carry on with your humorous commentary.
 




Remember when Morphius used that spring-loaded slider cell phone in "The Matrix," and then everyone ran out to buy one? I can still hear my roommate's cries of anguish when he discovered it didn't really exist.

More recently, the non-existent phone that I want comes from the 2014 film "It Follows".

Check out the clamshell phone and/or e-reader from the film about a quarter of the way down this page:

All of the "foldable" phones that are coming out these days (and are generally failing terriblly) insist on bending the screen. Why can't I just have a clamshell smartphone with two screens? The Nintendo DS had a version of it 15 years ago. I don't know why we can't get a modern implementation.
