      Convincing people they need to buy basically the exact same shit yearly.

      And fighting a lot of lawsuits involving their planned obsolescence and monopoly so they can keep it that way.

        I find it kinda ironic that apple users upgrade every year, cause iPhones can last forever, that’s the very reason I use it, my cousins 11 pro is still going very strong, and I plan to use mine atleast until I break it or Apple ends support

          Not quite forever, but I went from a 6s to a 14. Had to change the battery a couple of times but other than gradually getting slower it was fine (until OS support was dropped).

          I’m on my third SE version, which is the SE2, so I still have an SE3 to go. I’m set for at least 6 years.

          Briefly went from my last SE (the first 8-body SE) to a 13 because I got a deal. Hated it, sold it on ebay two months later, bought an SE2. Thrilled with my decision.
