They have a huge second (or third-forth)-hand market though (which is actually maybe the greenest part of Apple’s operation and one I will applaud them for). Most people would probably be much better off buying a 4-5 years old iphone than buying the latest shitty low-end android phone thrown at them by telecom companies that will be slow even as new and will be literally unusable a year later.

(Though the same disgusting practice is used on laptops where a mid-class 5 years old laptop can easily outclass a “modern” low-end one..)
