- mensetmanusman 5y agoI wonder if the longer usable life of Apple phones works against them in these metrics. We are now seeing consistent 5 year usage out of iPhones for those that don’t chase the newest colors.

At the low end they brand it as redmi and while the hardware lasts long, the newer android versions run slower and you end up purchasing new phones every few years.
