Excluding their cables Apple products held up incredibly well for me. Maybe I’m just lucky but they outlasted every single Android phone and non Apple laptop. It would be interesting to see actual statistics about the average lifespan of each category.

The milled aluminum laptop chassis deserves most of the credit for the build quality of Macbooks. With it, Macbooks easily last 10 years. I've never seen a similar quality chassis in any Windows or Chromebook laptop. Consequently, they last ~3 years.

Amount of laptops I had to throw away because the chassis broke in 20 years: 0

Amount of devices (laptops, phones, watched) where I had to switch out a battery that died: 5-10

Same. Apple products have very long physical lifespans, generally receive software support far longer than competitors’, and typically have good resale value after several years of use.
