Bhai Apple walon ki strategy samajh rahe ho? Unka dhandha ab hardware ka nahi raha, unka dhandha hai sharam aur guilt bechne ka!

Pehle saal unhone box se charger gayab kiya. Bola—'Environment bachana hai.' Customer ne bola theek hai. Agle saal earphones gayab kar diye. Bola—'Wireless is the future.'

Ab sunne mein aa raha hai agle saal box mein sirf Tim Cook ka signed letter aayega jisme likha hoga: 'Thank you for giving us ₹1.5 lakh. The phone is purely conceptual, please imagine using it.'

Aur uske baad shuru hota hai asli khel—Subscription!

Phone on karte hi pehla notification: 'Your iCloud storage is 99% full.'

Bhai maine abhi phone unbox kiya hai! Isme 3 photo kheenchi hain—ek gallery ki test photo, ek bill ki photo aur ek mummy ke WhatsApp Good Morning quote ka screenshot! Isme 5GB kaise bhar gaya bhai?

Ab har mahine ₹75 kaat rahe hain iCloud ke, ₹99 Apple Music ke, ₹199 Apple TV ke. Aadmi subah uthta hai toh pehle 4 OTP aate hain subscription deduct hone ke.

Mera dost bol raha tha: 'Bhai lagta hai 2028 tak phone ki screen unlock karne ke liye bhi per-swipe ₹10 ka UPI karna padega!'
