Yes, those are fairly popular.

To ask the standard you've been throwing at those with whom you disagree, prove it. Show us one person who uses Jitterbug.

You mean like post a picture of a person who uses Jitterbug phone? No, such request is no my standard, it is yours.

You could try common sense instead.

Would they still be in the market if no one used them?

I am a witness to someone that used a Jitterbug.


It was about 5 years ago though... older Gentleman he was 75 years old. He was a old client of mine. But he def had Jitterbug. Seen it with my own eyes.

but it's only the 60% of those who can afford $400 who have them. Come on, this is too easy.

The studies Finn, the studies?!?

Same with my father in law. Jittebugs have health related features, and their target group is seniors.

I re-posted and balded my point to make it easier to understand. Yes, there are many iPhones out there, many of which are 5+ years old, and very few are high-end, which is why Apple cut back on the orders.

You've, on multiple occasions mocked our assertions by stating that we should show you an example of someone who buys an iPhone when they can't afford to, even after both Rachel and I each gave you a personal anecdotal example.

When you don’t even have $400 in saving, buying a $99 phone or a $14.99 subscription is CRAZY!

No, I never asked for "an example", because that would suggest I argue such people do not exist, which is NOT what I argue. I specifically said that everyone knows such people exist, but reckless spending is only one of the many causes for people financial struggles.

Why are you having such a hard time with this?
