"expensive Apple device" I know it's a lot of money for some folks, but a new iPhone SE is $400, and old iPhones remain serviceable for an absurdly long time — the iPhone SE 1st gen was compatible with latest-versions on release date for seven freaking years. How is a $400 device that lasts seven years more expensive than even $200 budget Androids that have to get replaced every two years?
