He has Verizon

Not sure why you find it hard to believe. They have various phones on display that are either "free" (everyone knows you actually pay for it and then some, but it doesn't have an additional cost) or cost extra per month with your contract. When my dad had to switch to a smartphone, one of the iPhones was the only one he could get at no additional charge. If you have more questions, you'll have to talk to Verizon and ask them why they don't stock their shops better in bumfuck, South Dakota. I'm telling the truth, but it's not worth arguing with some rando over a shitty phone just because you doubt me for no reason.

"premium" phone

I don't even know what this means. You're not making sense.

Go argue with someone else about something that matters instead of directing your unhinged rudeness at me.

Dude, why are you so angry? I was just pointing out to people that it likely isn't the case. Maybe it was the only one they told him about or had in stock, but Verizon has a ton of "at no extra cost" options I'm pretty confident at all times. They may have needed to order one to the store if it's really that isolated, but unless something strange happened they had other free phones.

Premium phone means iPhones/Samsungs/whatever else. There are tons of other brands that are cheaper but a better value. They aren't premium though, and aren't the ones ever mentioned.

Why am I so angry? Oh, I don't know -- maybe it had something to do with the fact that I shared a simple anecdote from my life, which was met with "I don’t believe this." by some prick online. I'm so burnt out with pricks like that online. I don't meet as many of you here as I did on reddit, but I've just started giving people the "fuck you" attitude they deserve when they respond to me by being unnecessarily hostile and argumentative.

And obviously my dad couldn't wait for them to order one in, or whatever you're imagining. Maybe you have a pampered and privileged life where you have the luxury of being able to be without a phone while you wait for one to be delivered, but most people in my circles cannot.

Now please don't talk to me again.

You're very perceptive. Have you ever considered working as an investigator?
