... and how dare iPhone users shop at online retailers like Temu and Shein!

Those are for peasants and not high society iPhone users.

I dipped my toes.

Had the Temu and Banggood app open on the same items. Banggood was cheaper, but with delivery more expensive.

You are talking about very entry level Android phones. Xiaomi Redmi 9C as a example. Slow as fck. Spend 2 - 3 thousand more on say a Samsung A35 and you wont have lag. You get what you pay for. Unlike IOS, Android and the OEM's caters for those that cant pay off a R30 000.00 cell phone for 20 years.

How's your experience with Temu? I am very skeptical AF!

I thought iPhone users render 4K videos, play a ton of games & run geekbench all day? At least, that’s what they are always saying
