Default Tame Apple Press wades into Freedom Phone

$500 for a $200 phone? But that is Apple's target market

A 22 year old Bitcoin millionaire’s plan to build a phone just for US conservatives that had nothing to do with the evil Google and Apple appears to have backfired.

Erik Finman, who made all his cash on Bitcoin, wanted Republicans to ditch phones made by the “liberal” tech companies of Apple and Google. The “freedom phone” would liberate Americans from their "Big Tech overlords".

According to Apple fanzine The New York Times , he made a splashy video, with stirring music, American flags and references to former Presidents Abraham Lincoln and Donald J. Trump. The phone got a lot of attention from Conservative pundits who hawked Finman's Freedom Phone, and his video amassed 1.8 million views.

Finman had thousands of orders for the $500 device and then had to deliver the phone before the duelling banjos of his customers stopped playing.

His first plan to put his software on a cheap Chinese phone had the snot kicked out of it by the Tame Apple Press which did not take the idea of having its idea of marketing phones to stupid people taken away from it.
