      Same actually, and a refurb m1. That’s not to say apple doesn’t use predatory tactics, and hard agree with complaining about laptops sold with 8gb of ram. I use windows, Mac, and Linux daily, and for my devices I want to last and not worry about, I go apple.

        +1 for the M1, went for a refurb on a whim and it was the first time in a while I genuinely felt like I was living in the future. That thing can run Stray at more than competent frame rates and still be dead silent and lukewarm to the touch. It’s like a big Steam Deck

      XS Max here, it’s insane how long these things last. I will be upgrading this year though, cuz my partner has a 64GB phone and needs way more space for cat pictures. I’d like 120hz and USB-C!

          Most high-end phones are 900-1000$ nowadays anyway, so it really doesn’t matter much. It’s more of if you want Android or Ios.

      See you say this, but anyone who bought a cheapo Galaxy S20 in 2020, stopped receiving major Android version updates in 2022 whereas anyone who bought an iPhone XS or XR in 2018, will still get a major iOS version update in 2024…

      Oh wait, what’s this, the S20 was a flagship device, comparable or more expensive than the iPhone 12 at the time? Well that’s a bit embarrassing…
