Completely agree! I am using an iPhone 13 right now to write this comment. It cost me $325.87 with taxes. There’s no way I’m buying accessories for this one or downloading paid apps. I will sell it off once I don’t need it. I use it for work. This will be the only and last iPhone I will own. I already have a Samsung S23 (personal use) and the Google Pixel 8 for traveling and gaming. It’s perfect for both and I don’t have to worry about draining my Samsung’s battery on the GP8. $1,300 dollars per iPhone? No way! Have you seen the rental, gasoline and food prices? 💸💸💸💸💸

They started this with the iPod. When the iPod came out, I was playing music on my PDA using a CF memory card. Flash memory prices were dropping so it made sense to buy new CF cards for more capacity as needed. But with the iPod you had to buy a whole new music player no matter if it was HD based or flash. The business model was hugely successful. They've been milking this for ages.

[@zark4711]

Super good. As a long time Apple Fanboy (80ies) I was not aware of some things you mentioned. Great research. For the Intel vs M4: well it is a different architecture so a lot on the board is different. But for the point of illustration: yes, it would be nice to swap the CPU for a faster one of the same architecture at a later point. I did that back for my PowerPC chips in the Macs.

[@AyaWetts]

its like 85% of the cost on the whole board ... and so much wasted space trying to make it big enough for sockets. Even new Intel chips made similarly are not replaceable or upgradable.

[@trevorelvis1355]

Hi fanboi

[@username7763]

@@AyaWetts This is not a difficult problem to solve though. Instead of swapping out the CPU, swap out the logic board. Support taking your M1 Mac and put a M4 logic board in. Also, Apple computers don't have to be so super thin all the time. Make portable computer where space is at a premium and then make desktops that you can upgrade. None of this is done because Apple makes money off of people disposing of their products and buying all new again.

[@AyaWetts]

@@username7763 You are in the minority about making small thin and light computers. Most people love that. Apple knows it cannot please everyone, so it chooses its audience where it thinks it can make the most money. New designs being able to fit in the old cases is very limiting. It sounds like Framework laptops are for you, but even they struggle, and aren't that popular.

[@username7763]

@AyaWetts but Apple could do that. They choose not to. And yeah I don't choose their limiting products either.

Apple AI is a good feature to have, but you dont necessarily need it, at least older iPhones are still compatible with the latest software and software animations, unlike android phones with only 3 years of software updates

You know Android software updates depend heavily on the model and manufacturer so you’re being wilfully dishonest just to run interference for a trillion-dollar company. Gross. Pixels come with 8 years of support, and Samsung ranges from 6 to 8 years depending on the model.

The non-standard SSD is just a throwback to the Mac mini 2014 and the trashcan Mac. OWC did make a small number of drives that would work in the systems and I even bought one. But it didn’t work very well. I had lots of problems. It was probably cheaper for Apple to do it this way than to solder them to the motherboard.

[@ybfxtv]

Sure, here’s a version closer to the original wording: One big issue is the lack of upgrades for devices older than six years, which automatically makes them obsolete. This happens even though they may have more-than-capable CPUs and other hardware. Without updates, these devices are left behind, even though they could still perform well with modern software.

Apple can be a very good buy if you are careful. I purchased a 2006 MacBook Pro in 2006 for the *same* price as a comparable high-end Windows laptop. I used for nearly a full decade. I replaced it with a 2015 iMac 27" 5K, which was the same price as a Dell 5K monitor. I'm still using it, and still insanely happy with it nearly a decade on.

If only it was just that... 7 years ago I had an iMac, top of the line... Problem is, it was restarting randomly.. Sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 1 hour... I obvisouly formated the thing and reinstalled OSX, several different versions, but no luck... I went to the apple store, they said the machine was 5 years old and was considered "Vintage" (their word) and so impossible to repair. I vowed (very vocally in the store) to never buy an Apple product ever again, went home, installed windws 10 on the thing to tets it out... And my son is still using the damn thing to this day, without any problem... So, the only explanation I have is that OSX creates ghost hardware failures artificially when the iMac goes to "vintage" terriotory to force you to buy a new one. I kept true to my word and never braught their crap again.
