I'd wager that owning an iPhone is cheaper than a Samsung Galaxy or likely any premium Android.
An iPhone is typically getting 6 years of iOS versions, plus an additional 1-2 years of security updates. For instance, the iPhone X, announced in Fall 2017 was on latest iOS until iOS 17 comes in this month. iPhone 6S, released in Sep 2015, is still getting security updates.
If you are someone who runs their phone into the ground until the end of security updates, iPhone wins hands down. If you are someone who wants the latest and greatest, iPhone hold resale value like no other and its not even close.
Like gambling, buying Apple products is a stupid tax
It feels really stupid having the industries longest support length and highest resell value.
