For the record, I virtually never buy any #Apple products. I've never owned an iPhone. I consider Apple to be an ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing. Predatory practices and pricing to control their vastly overpriced hardware (even cables!) and blocking competition, fake "privacy" practices really designed to again kill competition and mainly improve their own profit centers, and nightmarish deals with China. And they've ALWAYS been this way, while depending on their fanboys to cover for them.
