Apple event as a consumer vs. investor

Can confirm. 😉
And despite some apple fanatics not caring about any of the announcements, they'll most likely still end up buying the latest apple product the second they have the time and money.
I will never understand people who buy apple products. I have used apple, android and pinephone and settled on android as its cheap and gets all the basic functions like calls, music and gaming work without any issues.
It's easier for the non tech savy person to keep in a working state, Android depending on the OEM and Windows come with a lot of bullshit that the average person don't know how to uninstall and avoiding accumulation of bloatware, even simple things like unchecking a checkbox on an instalation wizard are a mystery for most people.
Apple restrictive environment ends up removing a lot of footguns.
Are you saying apple has no bloatware ?
Really? I'll give you a clue, it's the same reason why people buy gucci clothes. Or rolex watch.

I got an mi max 2 from the same era, running android 13, thanks to crDroid
Maintainer is even working on a newer kernel to allow android 14 to run
It's honestly running better than ever, UI usability is on par with way newer phones running 60hz
This is the problem with a restrictive ecosystem which has no room for development
