>More future landfill material.

I wish Apple devices were more upgradable (and cheaper and more fixable), but I would speculate that Apple devices are the last devices to end up in a landfill (or more aptly, recycled). If you outgrow a device there is a very robust resale market and that machine will happily fill someone else's needs.

Apple devices seem to stay in use for an eternity.

I used to upgrade my Mac mini every time a new one came out. The resale value was amazing.
