I don't think I have bought an App in the AppStore in years, so the only money they're getting for me was from the device I buy every 5 years or so.

Phone support for devices usually ends a couple of months after the purchase date as far as I know, or has that changed?

I never had to give serial numbers or anything when calling, so I don't think they know/care?

Even at the Apple Store, they help with out-of-warranty items all the time. I recently gave away an iPhone 8 and they helped my friend setup.

A nice woman there gave me new rubber-thingies for my AirPods and it's been out of warranty for the longest time. I mean they never checked or anything.
