They don't have high reliability, no more so than any other mainstream brand. They retain their value because it's Apple, who rarely put sales on, oh and they are fashion pieces.

    I heard Samsung started offering 7 years of support awhile back. Only took them 15 years.

    iPhones a fashion piece? Do people actually believe this lmao? No adult gives a shit what phone you have. Unless you’re a kid in grade school or just immature maybe. In my experience, hardline opinions on the subject tend to come mostly from keyboard warriors and insecure teenagers.

    I don’t really care how “easy” it is if it takes me 20 minutes and I don’t have to think about it for another 4 years. Usually I only swap them a single time because the next time around I’m probably going to be wanting upgraded hardware. Fairphone is cool and all but I prefer a higher ip rating inherent to iPhones in comparison.

    Accidentally drop your fairphone into a pool and the modular construction aspect seems less relevant.
