    Let me guess. It’ll only operate on Apple-approved roads, can only be charged by Apple branded chargers and get bricked after 2 years when “It’s no longer supported”

      Look, I dislike Apple’s walled-garden as much as the next guy, but let’s give credit where it’s due. Apple has been phenomenal at supporting its older devices, much longer than most Android manufacturers. The iPhone 7 only recently stopped getting updates, and it was from 2016. The standard for Androids is still 2 years, so when it comes to long term device support, the point undeniably goes to Apple.

          Pretty much every smaller Android manufacturer only gives two years of updates. Google and Samsung are the biggest two, and it’s great that they’re giving longer support, but if you want to try another manufacturer (Asus, for example), you’re getting two years.

        Apple users are getting settlement checks starting this month because Apple lost its lawsuit over intentionally throttling previous model phones with their “updates”

          That’s what moved me off the Apple ecosystem. Can’t use any of my apps unless I update my phone, every update made my phone continually slower.

              Well, you see, I do get regular updates - about one every 3 months on average, and my 4 year old phone is still as fast as the day I bought it.

        My fusion drive iMac was rendered unusable by an OS update that was optimized for SSD and put any hard drive Mac to a crawl.

        I had to change to a SSD, which was very fun because I had to unglue the screen and glue it back when I was done.
