> but there are zero Android phones of a usable size available for purchase. So iPhone it is.

My local dollar store has a couple of prepaid android 5.5" phones. Not much size diff from my iphone 12 mini.

Point still taken though - 'regular' sized phones from 6 years ago are mostly gone from the mainstream market. I really hope there's another mini or a bumped up iphone se. I would like them to keep the physical home button with touch id as well. Or maybe a touch id sensor someplace else...?

those android phones will have terrible materials, terrible internals and non-existent support. Their existence doesn't really say much.

I also dislike many things apple does but all too often, their hardware quality is good and lasts a long time. I'm still using a 2014 macbook. it is on its last legs but eight years out of a piece of tech is borderline amazing.

I think that is pretty normal. I'm still using my 2014 $700 Asus 'gaming laptop' for CAD, emulators, gaming, etc.... Only reason I even upgraded was so I could have 6gb VRAM for various AI purposes.

Time for my kid to use it for a few years... Then I'll turn it into a server.
