Idk about that. I'm pretty sure that people who constantly want a new BMW just lease. BMW has this real awful spot with their 5yr warranty so a lot of people buy a pre-owned BMW off a lease and then drive it for 3 years and then get absolutely wrecked by the maintenance costs.
Apple's business model is reliant on people buying a WHOLE NEW PHONE for ~1000$ every 2-3 years. And you get to sell your old phone for what? like 200$ trade in?
Apple also constantly locks you out every 5-6 years of iOS updates and then you can't run, say, spotify on your old ipod touch because you can't update the OS.
I actually find it hard to believe your propping Apple up here with their huge fight against right to repair.
- ramphastidae 5y agoSo ... what’s your example of a company besides Apple currently providing first-class mobile OS support for their 5+ year old devices?

- virtue3 5y agoIt's five years. Not 5+ (according to their website). I don't have to provide a counter example because that wasn't even remotely the argument I was making (that no companies really do this because their objective is to SELL NEW DEVICES).
