Tim Cook’s reason was that the iPhone replaces many gadgets (digital cameras, MP3 players, and phones). That feels completely out of touch. I think most people use iPhones because of their longevity and strong software support. What frustrates me is how Apple manipulates users with software limitations, even when phones share the same chip as the iPhone 15 and 14 Pro. And let’s not forget—the gadgets the iPhone supposedly replaced are still perfectly usable today.
