Funnily enough, I've got a few friends who are long time iPhone users, who actually point this stuff out themselves:

"OMG! Have you seen the eye watering price of the new one?"
"Yay, I finally get stuff you've had for years."

Neither party would ever consider anything else, and they both buy the new model every year. 🤷

At this point I admit that my reasons for choosing Android all those years ago no longer exist or matter, but I can't imagine changing ecosystem either.

As a human being intrinsically tied to the fate of the Earth, you are legally required to mercilessly harass these friends for buying a new phone each year.

How the fuck can anyone justify this behavior?
