Today I went to the Anting China Unicom branch to switch my dad’s phone plan. Suddenly I spotted they had stock. Snapped one up immediately. 286 RMB plan, free phone. Then the crowd behind me went into a mad rush. It was like buying an apartment.

I’m not an Apple fanboy. I don’t think Apple is better than Android. I just kinda like the pretentiousness. Overseas, this thing is a toy. In China, it’s a symbol of status, dignity, and face. This phone is my domestic China phone. When I go abroad, I still use Android. Because Android phones in China just don’t have that status-signaling mojo.

This blog post was written on my iPhone 4 on the subway. Typing speed is about half of what I get with Sogou Input on Android. But in that time, at least thirty morons shot me looks of envy and hatred.
