The problem with Apple is: the newest device is probably better than its peers, but any device more than a year or two old is probably way worse, because it's being bulldozed into artificial obsolescence.
My half-decade-old budget Android holds up better than my Apple devices from a year or two ago. And it certainly holds up better than whatever iPhone was being marketed back then.
(Not that Google doesn't do this, too. They definitely do. But not quite to the same extreme.)

Boss: Why is your work only 80% complete?
Me: Oh, yes! There’s a very good explanation for that.
In my last performance review, you noted that I was exceeding all expectations, but that you were only giving me a 4 out of 5 because you “never give 5s” because “there’s always room for improvement.”
As a result, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver at 4/5 capacity to ensure I’m performing according to your expectations.
As we’ve already established, I’m easily capable of performing at and above 100%, so please let me know once you’ve adjusted my performance rating to a 5 and I will adjust my performance accordingly.
