I'm still daily driving a 2015MBP. Got the battery replaced, free under warranty, a few years ago. Running lates MacOS without any issues
The phones in my family are an iPhone 6S, iPhone 8 and an iPhone XS. All running the latest iOS. The 6S got a battery swap for 50€, others still going strong.
Similar with tablets, we have three and the latest one is a 2017 iPad Pro. All running the latest iPadOS.
Stuff doesn't need to be repairable and upgradable if it can outlast the competition by a factor of two while still staying on the latest official OS update.
Can't do that with any Android device. A 6 year old PC laptop might still be relevant though.
