P.S. Some of the ‘big’ carriers, now and then, offer much less expensive ‘plans’. Some event beat the prices in this article, if your ‘Data’ needs are limited.
Not all budget plans are necessarily good… I’ll admit to being a cheap fucker. I can afford a top tier cell plan, I just won’t pay for it. :)
For YEARS I had a Virgin mobile plan, but I had to drop it when, in their infinite wisdom, they dropped Android support and went iOS only.
They eventually changed their mind and tried to revert back, but the damage was done and they exited the US market ENTIRELY.
So I sucked it up and went with a Tmobile plan, which was fine, right up until they pushed an update that bricked my phone and they wouldn’t take responsibility for it.
Sooo… back to MVNO world. Picked Metro PCS, which was under Sprint at the time and had no problems, and 1/2 the price. Everything worked well… and Tmobile bought Sprint and Metro and my reaction was “Oh, HELL NO.” Not being under Tmobile again.
Thought the Mint commercials were cute, tried them out and found that while the calls and data were fine, there were so many problems with SMS that it was essentially unusable AND they got bought by TMobile…
So… Visible it is… MVNO under Verizon. 5G speeds in my area aren’t the best, but it’s functional and not Tmobile.
That being said, there IS a more accurate way to define Apple usage among teens and that would be to survey the school districts.
“How many students do you have? How many devices connect to your network wirelessly? What percentage of those are iOS?”
That still wouldn’t be 100% accurate due to teachers and staff bringing their own devices, but the students vastly out number staff so the variance could calculated.

In this case, it does not. But if the comment was removed, there wouldn’t be anything to link to anyway.
When a mod bans a user, there’s a checkbox to remove content automatically, which makes sense, if it’s bad enough to merit a ban, there’s no way the comment stays.
If the comment itself were simply removed, you would see a copy paste of it in the modlog.
