Had a 6 and 7 plus for years.
Apple definitely builds phones to last.
I still have my iphone 10. Works beautifully!
Macintosh Computers were always reliable. But now not sure, alot of parts made overseas, to save on costs. Just like cars, cheap parts, bad results.
Now, this doesn't mean a basic car has to be 55,000 dollars either. This means the car or phone manufacturers have to give a little to get a little, and cheap labor dint work either, cuz if people have NO MONEY than all Empires fall. And does NOBODY any good.
Very simple logic here, if there is not enough money circulating around, than all goes to dust.
Were not in Kansas anymo!
