  • I’ve got an iPhone 13.

    I used to upgrade about every 2 years because that’s how long my contract was and there was usually some killer feature I wanted. Now, new releases only have incremental improvements so I’m not in any hurry to buy a new phone.

    I’ll probably keep this phone for another year or 2 as there is nothing wrong with it, even the battery life is still great.

    So I’d say iPhone sales are “collapsing” because of a lack of innovation in the market, cost of living pressures, and handset durability, they just last longer.

    Who is unsuspecting? I choose to use a iPhone because:

    It is a closed ecosystem, a billion apps is enough for me. I wanted to be able to update the phone for many years I didn’t want to have preinstalled 3rd party bloatware I wanted a device that was less prone to malware

    Android is a great OS, and it is better in some areas than iOS, but nothing particularly important to me.

    Only Americans are concerned about green and blue bubbles. If it’s so upsetting to you, use WhatsApp. Don’t blame Apple because Google couldn’t standardise on a single messaging app for more than 5 minutes.

    Using Google devices and pointing at Apple and saying “they’re evil, don’t use them” is laughable. They’re all bad companies, no organisation should be worth trillions.
