gollark: I mostly just end up buying very cheap phones and replacing them every ~2 years.
gollark: In some areas, not others.
gollark: Neither of those do *matter* much for normal use, though, really. Unless you like compiling things/gaming on your phone, or are very audiophile.
gollark: I have no idea about that, but given the lack of headphone jacks, meh.
gollark: They do have some nice things going for them, primarily that Apple's CPU design team is apparently hypercompetent and managed to beat everyone else massively.
