> Buying an iPhone (and increasingly Mac) is like going to Disneyland: You pay a lot of money to be allowed in so you can pay them even more money.

Bought the latest SE over a year ago at considerably less than my last comparable Android device. Have spent under $100 in the App Store since.

Phone does everything that I want it to do including some fairly complex multi-app automations 15 minutes before I leave, when I get an SMS, etc...

That's just like going to Disneyland, but packing your own luch and not going on any of the rides. :)

More like going on the rides, but not paying for the Fast Pass. Taking the Fast Pass is like paying for Apple services. I took the shitty Fast Pass for Apple Music and iCloud Drive, but I'm not paying for bloody Ted Lasso!
