My partner’s iPhone is six years old. We’re going to replace it soon because it stopped receiving security updates. She’d keep using it until it completely bricked otherwise.
I appreciate they’re some of the best around for longevity but I wish they’d push further. I have a Fairphone and their firmware support is the same so it’s frustrating that there’s not really an alternative here.
I wish more devices would move in the Framework laptop direction, where hardware can be upgraded and old hardware can be repurposed.
I think it has more to do with all that evaluation being propped up by the idea that AI will be massively profitable. All the things you mention were true five years ago when their evaluation was less ridiculous. When Nvidia’s stock evaluation falls they’ll be fine. I think the rest of the market is going to take a big hit and I expect a recession is inevitable.
