I have had the iPod and iPhone 3GS. iPod had a harddrive firmware problem, never got the warranty. Loved it though iPhone water issues because of a person and a swimming pool :p Never wanted anything of Apple since then because I was afraid all prices would rise too much and I think it did, for all "premium" products. I saw people buying it who can hardly afford it. But since a long time, I think they don't give the bang for the buck also ( 2016). I kept Windows and used Android. Touchbar, non-standard cables, Apple licenced accessories, ... None of that is worth it to me. Phone = calling, sms, email and surfing ( some). Tablet = x360 ( convertible laptop), a regular tablet is just for consuming. Not for producing Development = Windows with Linux subsystem and Visual Studio. I thought about an Apple mini as build controller, but didn't want to support it.

Never wanted anything of Apple since then because I was afraid all prices would rise too much and I think it did, for all "premium" products. I saw people buying it who can hardly afford it. The first iPhone was $499. The iPhone 7 while three generations old, is still faster than all but the highest end Android phones and will probably 3 or 4 more years - $475 The original iPad was $499. The newest regular 9.7” iPad is $329 When I bought an “entry level” Mac LCII it was $2100 back in 1992 with the monitor. The lowest cost iMac that anyone should buy is $1699 - 21.5” iMac with 256Gb SSD and 16GB RAM. The base level MacBook Air for $1199 is a perfectly good laptop. Apple has never been the lowcost leader.
