Both my iphone my MBA are now 4 years old. Both are absolutely fine and short of accidental damage I expect them to last me at least another couple of years. In all the time I have been forced to use windows laptops that were of “premium” quality, I have never ever had one last into its third year.
So could it be that pre-2015 apple products were better quality? Probably. However, I don’t think we can say that current Apple products since 2015 are inferior to their android or laptop counterparts. They may be inferior to themselves, bt I think their builds are still superior to everything else.

I've heard this often and I find it baffling. I've replaced only one PC in my lifetime when it quit working. Everything else I've replaced at 5-6 years old while working fine. Dells, system 76, Lenovo's, Asus, they've all held together fine. Heck my old windows 95 Toshiba still works.
- kcplate 4y agoI just retired a MacBook Pro 2008 this year that my wife has been using daily since 2015 because its battery started swelling. That device started its life as my traveling work rig in late 2008 and served me well until 2015 when I gave it to the wife as her personal device. I think the total lifespan was just over 13 years from unboxing to retirement. Hundreds of flights that device traveled with me. Had two Dells, one lasted 18 months (cracked case). One almost 3 years (broken hinge). Bought a MBA 2018 and it works and looks as well as the day it was unboxed despite tons of time traveling.
