Not to mention the recycling program they've been operating for years.

    Whilst the high cost of this phone is forefront in my mind, iPhone or Apple has restricted / disabled media sharing features like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
    IPhones as is even if sale prices made them essentially give away, NO

      Apple providing 4+ years of updates goes a long way to help keep these devices for longer, and some focus on sustainability can be appreciated

        Most Samsung fanboy-ism keeps on forgetting that Apple's main strength is software. Before the iPod/iPhone/iPad/iWearable revolution, services like Music App (Beats music/iTunes), etc. were bound to come to Apple without these devices.

        Before the "iPortable" industry game-changer:

        ALAC/AIFF
        Final Cut Pro
        Macintosh
        OSX
        MacBook Air
        iMac
        Apple TV
        etc.

        Apple has been a industry-leader in innovation for decades unlike one-hit-wonders like Huawei, Xiaomi and BBK.

            you have to commend Apple's ability to make a product (and ecosystem) people think they can't do without.

                    The single most popular piece of electronic from a singular company has to be the iPhone. I wouldn't be surprised if it has already surpassed Sony's Walkman in it's booming times. The best part is, it doesn't look like iPhone sales are going to end anytime soon. Apple will probably think of a way to clone human beings so they could sell more iPhones to them.
