I read "Sent from my iPhone" as "I apologize for brevity and typos" and don't get offended.

Well I don't get offended, I just roll my eyes that someone is okay being a walking ad for a company that has plenty of money.

Do you roll your eyes at yourself whenever you, say, drive a car?

We're surrounded by things that have their company's branding prominently plastered on them. Hell, stuff like luxury bags (eg: Louis Vuitton) exist specifically to flaunt a company's branding.

Of course, it would be nice if we weren't surrounded by marketing and advertising everywhere all the time, but that's beside the point.

I mean, the line hits a bit different coming from Steve Jobs, he built* the fucking thing.

If you don’t get offended, perhaps you get things out of proportion?

People who are so image conscious that they care about that kind of thing in themselves or others really seem like they have their priorities in the wrong place.

It ends up being a great filter, leaving things around to bother the kinds of people you don’t want to impress.

I understand that, but keeping the default email signature might also mean that said person is so busy or detached from technology that they don't even know/have-time-to change their email signature.

When I read "Sent from my iPhone" I feel sorry they don't have a proper keyboard and that they have to touch cold, hard glass instead; what an unpleasant tactile experience!

And then I remember I now have to do the same, because someone switched off my fantastic BlackBerry (R.I.P. until resurrection comes!)...

Between body heat from being in your pocket and heat from the electronics, the unpleasant glass usually isn't cold.

I explicitly leave it in for this sort of interpretation. I remove it from my iPad, but not phone.

Someone with common sense in 2022. How uncommon :-)
