    The whole business model of Apple is to force a hardware upgrade cycle on you and force all your devices to be in that same ecosystem.

    I mean, I can see the advantages of it on the short term, but on the longer term having stuff that keeps on working even as always even in older hardware (or you just install new hardware under it and it just recognizes it and keeps on working) is a massive benefit versus a $1500+ bill every two five years and having to migrate your stuff.

      It’s more like 6-7 years and the migration tool basically clones your drive in 15 minutes
