They’ve been doing this for, what, 14 years now since Jobs passed. I fail to see anything substantially new since then. They’re quite literally milking the cash cow at this point. They became the company the old Apple fans despised.

Their phones are so good they don't have much they can do at this point to make them better. You can have a 5 year old iPhone right now and it's probably still a very good device, assuming you swapped the battery since purchase.

It's a pretty good problem to have.

That's definitely not what I've seen from people around me with an iphone.

Almost all of them complain about the device getting hot, batteries being short lived (even when replaced) and apps being sluggish.
