Also Apple is known for supporting its devices for years and years longer than Android phone makers, so I have no idea why anyone would claim anything about planned obsolescence.
If a browser (iOS) is tied to a system update, you can claim to give out updates years beyond anyone else and it might include anything but a brower "update" and they'll still be able to call it a security update. Those updates to older iOS devices are watered down versions of what latest phones get.You'll also get security patches but Android can provide many patches directly through Google play store and services without pushing a system update.
Android manufacturers might abandon phones, but there's an after market community which provides trustworthy updates and security patches long beyond Apple does. I still have an Android tablet which won't update further than 4.4, but can still run apps that are regularly updated through f-droid(website, their app doesn't support 4.4 anymore). With Apple you're fucked with Appstore, being the only source for apps. And your old device is as good as a pdf reader.
That is planned obsolescence and both Android manufactuers and Apple do it. With Android, you still have after-market options without rooting your device.
Sure you might say those third party app and ROM security isn't as reliable but for less half the price of Apple devices, they last way longer than what fanboys give Android devices credit for.
Also Apple hardware is top-tier because they have exclusive contracts with with top-tier hardware manufacturers and limit everyone elses access to it. That's what you can do when you're a trillion dollar company. And yes, I agree their hardware is top tier, That hardware that runs only what Apple wants is what I reccomend to old folks and teenagers who are less technically literate and are likely tap every link on their email, popup on scammy website or download obscure game/apps from the internet.
I currently have a Pixel 6 and and iPad, the most I do on iPad is watch some movies. And I say that as someone who hates both of them
