Are they making smartphone apps just for the sake of making smartphone apps!?
I bought a new charger yesterday because the one I had finally died (the USB-C cable does kind of work, but never seems to recharge shit), and the box shows "Please download our apps for iOS and Android".
Would the next step be that you can't use the charger at all unless you install the charger's proprietary app on it?
Imagine the consequences of that:
Once the battery runs out entirely, you'll have no other choice than to throw your smartphone away, because the charger would only work if you'd use their app, and with the exception of the ガラケー and Linux phones (the only phones worth using anyway), you can't replace the battery, so the chargers will contribute to even more e-waste, all while (of course) putting an SDGs logo on every single side and write how sustainable the charger is.
Fuck you
#NewWorldOrder, fuck you
#UnitedNations, fuck you
#SDGs, and fuck you
#smartphones.
