Apple products last longer, retain their value longer, and are supported longer than their peers virtually across the board.

AppleCare is extremely cheap and comprehensive. I have had one Apple product fail in at least fifteen years and it was replaced without hesitation. It’s been nearly a decade since I’ve had an iPhone screen crack from dropping, and that used to be a regular occurrence. And if I do, again, it’s covered under AppleCare.

There are many harsh criticisms to be leveled against the company. This is not one of them.
