Yeah.

The hardware is fantastic.

The software is like one of those brides where they bind the feet so they can never become independent. And then services revenue is a goitre on this creatures neck constantly throwing it off balance as it tries to shamble forward.

I very much want ~2010 apple, where the hardware was maybe a bit meh, but the software was top tier.

The hardware is premium. That doesn't mean it's good. It's impossible to work on or upgrade, for example. The parts are all high quality and the design is usually solid (except for a handful of things like systems known to overheat and "you're holding it wrong" antennas), but for how much it costs I don't want to have to buy a whole new one when I want to upgrade or have a hardware problem, no matter how much Apple would want me to.

People say the hardware is top-notch but every single person I know who has an iPhone has a cracked iPhone.

Meanwhile here I am with a supposedly very delicate folding phone and no case, and it's absolutely fine. I'm not careful with it either I've dropped it loads of times. I have no idea why Apple insist on making their screens out of sugar glass.
