I spend a lot of time using my phone, and can afford the latest & greatest - but I use a 6 year old apple phone, because it's _perfectly fine_. A 10 year old apple phone is "just barely usable".

When I was in the android ecosystem, a 4 year old phone was "just barely" usable, and phones stopped being "fine" after about two years.

I'll give apple shit for a lot of things, and they could definitely do _more_ about e-waste... but this is as likely to be "we put the image encoder on the camera module, so it would have been slightly more work to backport to old phones"
