  • I’ve had my current iPhone for 4 years, not bought a single replacement cord or anything for it. Apple hasn’t done anything on my device to make me want to upgrade, I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

    Of my buddies with comparably priced android devices I think they’ve all gone through 2 or 3 phones in that time frame. Multiple Pixel devices.

    The updates that “slowed” the older devices was for battery performance and was made toggleable. Android devices do similar things.

    The iPhone XR, from 2018, still receives iOS updates and older phones still get security updates.

    My son is using my iPhone 11 Pro, from 2019. The batter is still fine and I can get it easily replaced if I need to. The phone works, gets updates and nothing is pushing him to upgrade.

    You’re not actually right with your criticism here, you’re just biased.
