Pretty sure my iPhone isn't spying on me so Apple can extract more value.

And the first-gen iPhone didn't have a replaceable battery or screen either.

As far as I can tell, iPhones have only gotten better. And ever since Apple introduced the SE, they've become more affordable as well.

It's way better at being a phone than an old Nokia as well -- the convenience and sound quality of wireless earbuds, using higher-quality audio and background noise removal, is really something.

I sometimes use my Sony noise-cancelling headphones for calls, and the sound quality is amazing. BUT: Bluetooth lag makes music-making apps unworkable.

Well sure, that's what Lightning port adapters are for. Which allow you to connect both traditional analog devices as well as USB digital audio.
