Apple products are no longer durable, well-made or a good value, so their "services" are now required to keep them operable, which explains why said "services" revenue is now more important than purchase price. Think of Apple products as American-made Mercedes rather than a Volvo.

Last I checked my four year old iphone still works without paying for apple music, icloud or any other apple services. It also lasted longer then the phone I had before it (an android), and my friends phones that run android. I don't know if your argument holds water.
