Apple has a product people trust.

More importantly, Apple really isn’t in the business of randomly abandoning products out of the blue (I’m looking squarely at Google with this one).

That’s one of the main reasons that got me to switch. I know if Apple abandons something, it’s for a hell of a good reason and not just because they feel like it.

When they abandon it is usually years later. My iPhone XS had updates 5 years later

Getting rid of the headphone jack was such a brave and great reason /s

Lmao @ people who still have the headphone jack living rent-free in their head, and never recognized that it has been a non-issue for five years now.

Just for context, I moved on to wireless earbuds before apple found the 'courage' to remove them so it never personally affected me. However i find it very easy to sympathize with those out there who are serious audiophiles and have very expensive headphones that obviously do not work over Bluetooth.
You may not care about them then maybe you care about the countless number of people that just needed a private sound experience instead of using their phone speaker on public transport and didn't require any $300 pair of earbuds to achieve that?
Yeh. It was a shit decision only made to sell their airpods. Which evidently they did (look at the revenue brought in by it) but some people did fall through the cracks
Edit: this is response to a comment saying whatever apple does is for a good reason. I just stated one time that it was definitely not for a good reason for the end user...

I was an Android user for about 12 years until yesterday. Got so sick and tired of Google's bullshit and insane lack of support or innovation. Apple gets it. The other guys don't.

I used android for years until I picked up this iPhone 13 Pro Max. It’s the software for me. The health app is bananas.

I’m no expert and I don’t keep up with all this tech stuff. But, didn’t Apple get into trouble with a lawsuit several years ago? Something about deliberately messing with peoples phones that were older models to force them to upgrade? Around that time I had a friend from work that told me a story and first I thought “conspiracy theory” in my head, but after he told me the story I was like “well damn?!?” I don’t remember all of the details but basically his phone was glitching often. And he was convinced that Apple was doing it on purpose. And he caught up Customer Service and threatened them with this or that and told me that five minutes after he got off the phone with them his phone was working perfectly. As if his threats were taken seriously and they fixed his phone after he hung up with them even though they of course denied it all while still on the phone. I have Apple products I always have. And I’m not planning on switching or anything. I usually upgrade my phone after two years like most people do. Now this could be a complete coincidence, but I swear I never had a problem with my phone. This past August I hit my two-year mark with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Ever since then I’ve been having problems with my phone. It made me think back to that story my old co-worker told me. Maybe it’s nothing, but it’s awfully coincidental. But, it makes me wonder???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_rot?wprov=sfti1 . Try reading this. If you are experiencing too many bugs try restoring phone using iTunes it usually fixes lot of issues. This due to upgrading phone directly on phone is not as clean as upgrading phone using external device which in this case is a computer which actually wipes the device and completely reinstalls os rather than upgrading existing os. Also I don’t think calling and threatening apple is what fixed his issue it’s probably placebo effect or he just simply restarted his phone which surprisingly fixes lot of issues not just phones but any kinda computer.
