I don’t get this argument iPhones are the phones with the highest longevity 4-5 years software upgrades. Repair shops have displays and batteries on hand and the labor is cheaper than for most android phones. Even years into the product cycle you get new accessories and parts. I used my SE for 5 years with two battery changes for 50 per pop and my wife used her 7 for 4 with one battery and display change. Even after the 3-4 years of use you can get good money for your phone from resellers which refurbish the phones and sell them again. This is not happening in the android space at all. It’s FOMO from users and nothing else. Calling it forced obsolescence is hybris.
