Because prices rise every day? The cost of food in many countries has risen 10%-20% over the last 12 months. Do you think people should stop buying food?

Can't compare apples to oranges mate. An iPhone and a MacBook are wants and not needs.
We all know they're overpriced and marketed at a premium. If you want a phone or laptop, there are dozens to choose from that are far less than what Apple offers. My phone was $600. My laptop was $800. Both have the same performance as Apple's offerings. I'm quite happy with them.
Now if you need a connected device there are significantly cheaper options out there that again provide the same level of performance. You can even get government assistance for a new phone or laptop. Unsurprisingly, no iPhones or MacBooks. Will be low end Android and Windows devices just enough to do basic tasks.
Those that do loans are much more likely to have negativity equity when trading in. Which is already proven with those who have terms longer than 4 years. This means on trading in, the borrower is looking at an increased car payment on top of the already higher average transaction price of $35,000. If you put money down, default on the loan and lose the car, you've quite literally given away money.
It's true the average loan is 7 years, but within the last few years there are 10 year (!) loans are available. This helps bring down an $800 payment. But that interest is gonna suck if you don't get a very low rate.
Those that pay off their loans tend to keep their cars for 10 to 12 years. Assuming the car doesn't catastrophically fail. Which anecdotally happened to our family. 1.6L Ford EcoBoost defect killed the engine 2 years after a 4 year loan was paid off.
Why can't it be both? Just because you have money and can realistically afford these devices, doesn't mean you should buy it. Purchasing tells Apple you're fine with the price.
System wide DNS over TLS (DoT) as it's called "Private DNS" was introduced in Android 9. Which was released in 2018. I'd genuinely like to know what Android device today ships with 8 or older, or, ships with 9 and later but has it intentionally removed. If you're still using an Android device running 8... Why?? It has not received security updates since 2021 and is officially unsupported.
iOS devices can import certificates to enable system wide DoT. This was introduced in iOS 14. Which was released in 2020. Given how Apple has a 7 year track record for device support, the oldest Apple device to get 14 was the iPhone 6. Which shipped with iOS 9 on release.
For the longevity of the battery, you shouldn't let it get that low. Lithium batteries really dislike being below 10% or above 90%. Ideally you should charge above 30% and stop at 90%. Samsung even offers a feature for when to stop charging. Apple has a battery health report that tells you how well it's performing compared to when it was new. Fast charging above 30W is hard on health too. You should use a charger below that. I personally use an 18W charger.
You may have long battery life now, but it won't last with poor battery hygiene. I've personally ruined batteries in the past in 3-4 years to where the phone can no longer accurately read the battery level. People I know have done it too. My last phone lasted a whopping 6 years before the battery finally started screwing up.
RCS chat at the top already proved the number is real to the spammer who sent it. Otherwise, RCS straight up fails with a client side message it can't be sent/delivered. In which case the client would retry as a basic text on prompt.
Lol. You have to understand the context here. This is just translations. Actual code has many, many more eyes on it. An entire university was banned from submitting code to Linux, because of two dumbasses. They found and fixed genuine bugs. Built up lots of trust. Then violated that trust with actual use-after-free bugs submitted intentionally.
The submitted "patches" to the development branch was to prove it's easy to get exploits into high profile open source projects. They ultimately proved the contrary. Making their "research" bunk. The code they submitted never made it past the development testing phase.
I doubt that Cloudflare won't adopt it. They're actually pretty privacy focused. What's funny about your comment, is at the time of viewing, the comment above yours in this thread links to the authoring of the draft. Which lists an employee from Mozilla and an employee from Cloudflare. Repo for the source draft is here. If you view the commits you can see authors. Click the names to view their profiles
Two years goes by fast. The only people getting extended support are enterprise customers. And that gets progressively more expensive until the extended support ends.

We really should move away from 30 fps as a baseline for PC gaming.
