Are you expecting Apple to convince people to stop buying iPhones?

How about keeping older models alive with updates and not sabotaging customers right to repair? Least that they can do.

To be fair, they are doing the former. iOS 12 actually made my iPhone 6– which I’ve had since 2014– noticeably faster.
Yes, Apple actively stabotage right to repair. I'm not a fan o them because of that and some other things. But at the same time iPhones are pretty sturdy phones with OTA updates spanning years, while most android manufacturers seem not to care.
the 5S, a phone from 2013, still gets iOS updates. What Android phone still gets updates 5.5 years after release?
