This is one of the funniest rants I've read in awhile. He's whining about having to pay a fee to use his phone. I guess that means he doesn't pay a carrier to use his phone either? Doesn't pay a cable company for WiFi access? Does ALL of his phone use at Starbucks so he can surf and text and use WiFi calling for free, I guess. LOL. You cannot use a smartphone without paying, and paying a bunch, month after month after month.
And I guess he never uses a streaming service, or plays games with micropayments. Only listens to FM radio, and never Sirius or Spotify. Or maybe he pirates all his music.
Unlike your carrier and internet service, if you really don't want to pay for the AI features just don't use them. The S24 will continue to work just fine without them.
Watch out buddy, because subscriptions are coming to every aspect of your life. Your next car is going to make you subscribe to use navigation, or remote start. Maybe even heated seats.
