Kids - just bring an Android phone if you’re going to scam, since events can’t require customers to be iPhone owners, and Apple didn’t design this with universal compatibility in mind.

"events can’t require customers to be iPhone owners" unfortunately idk about that

Right -- I'd already have thought places "couldn't" require people to be any kind of smartphone owner to participate in commerce, but I notice that more and more these days.

But only one specific brand of smartphone? That’s different.

Are you saying that you think an event wouldn’t do this because they’d be losing android-owning customers? Or that they couldn’t do it for some legal or regulatory reason?

There are already a lot that require "verified" brands. So iPhone or Android only, maybe recent versions only, and not the hackable Androids like Graphene. Wouldn't be surprised if a more niche place unintentionally required an iPhone.

Definitely. I just feel like a boiling frog sometimes.

Well, those events don't want them poor kids from coming and dragging down the place, right?
