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

As far as I’m aware almost all phones will do this, including iPhones.

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

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.

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.
