Apple at least has a good track record of making newer iOS wirk on hold devices... I think they go back ~5 years? Same cannot be said for most Android devices.

The excuse that Google shit stinks more so you should enjoy Apple shit. Apple won't sell you a screen,keyboard or chip to fix your hardware, I am waiting to explain to me how this is very green

  "everything stinks" may be true but isn't useful.

    Not everything, look at other laptops and desktop computers. You have Android and iOS that stick because of this 2 players not competing(they are happy with current market share and Google and Apple are pushing now on other fronts). With desktop computers we can still replace parts without having to ask approval from someone, we can still install whatever we want and this is because there are more then 2 laptop or desktop suppliers. Also it is not about form factor, yes it is easy to replace parts on a desktop PC but for Apple phones they refuse to give you screens or batteries and they bully people that refurbish parts from broken devices and try to hide repair documentation and software(this is opposite of green)

Apple phone are super simple to physically brake accidentally. My definition of premium includes "it's robust so I don't have to worry", their definition of premium excludes robustness. My definition of premium includes straight forward sustainable repairs theirs includes hampering anyone who tries to provide such (they don't).

  iOS 12.x has continued to get security releases, as recently as 12.4.8 a month ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_12#Updates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_12#Updates). If you bought a 2014 iPhone 6 in 2018 it's still being maintained today in 2020.
