    Why is everyone’s solution to buy an android phone? As if buying a new phone is the solution to my music subscription going up by a few dollars 🤣🤣

      Buying a phone that is able to store your music locally is definitely a solution

          Let me rephrase that. You can pirate shit on android. You can’t do that with iPhone.

            For starters you can just transfer files.

            Other than that, you can stream things with YTMusicUltimate and SpotC++ and then you also have many torrent clients, though all of these have to be sideloaded, so just choose two + use sidestore if you can’t jailbreak or use trollstore. There are also web apps and PWAs for these.

            Tell that to my collection of pirated music on my iphone. Do you usually tell lies or do you actually think you’re right?

        This article is literally about subscriptions and somehow everyone has turned it into a hardware problem.

        If your subscription goes up and you’re not happy…change it. Or cancel it. Buying a new phone is not the solution.

            What are you on about?! This comment chain was started by me asking why people are comparing hardware prices & subscription prices 🤦‍♂️

      Subscribe to a different service. Choose to download your own music. Buy albums direct from the artists and rip them yourself. There are several solutions to switching away from Apple services. Whether you’re willing to give up some inconvenience for the sake of switching is entirely up to you.
