Heavily disagree when it comes to their phones and tablets. They’re top-tier lil machines with insane lifespans and they’re priced accordingly. I’m using an iPhone XS Max still—how old is that, five years? Still fully supported, original battery lasts all day.
For tablets, I don’t even have to justify anything. No Android tablets come close.
You might be right about computers, though—I haven’t kept up with those! I still use a 2011 MacBook Pro, just swapped the optical drive out for a solid state drive, and maxed out the RAM. That fucker was expensive originally (2.2k USD retail, but I got it for a steal cuz my old laptop got warrantied to death) but fuck me if it doesn’t still run wonderfully for being 13 years old. Doesn’t update to latest OSX though, which sucks.
