upgrades between devices are seamless,

Same with android

and the phone retains value after 4 years.

Aight you got me there, except for that apple has been proven in court to slow down their older models of phones

Plus, the backup restoration is insane. If you stole my phone, I’d be back to where I was within an hour or two

Same with android

I agree, if people are willing to buy into apple they get what apple serves them.

Oh wait
