The only common consumer electronics that does NOT get better, faster and cheaper over time - are the highly marketed Apple products sold to morons.

This article delves into why where Apple cultivates an especially ignorant customer base who is easily swayed by silly stupid things - like the color.

*iPhone 15 price: New Apple handset could be by far most expensive ever* �<https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/iphone-15-pro-max-price-new-b2408069.html>

"Rumours have suggested that Apple is looking to offer new options
at the very expensive end of its line-up, in an attempt to encourage
growth of its profits. Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, appeared
to confirmed that strategy during an earnings call earlier this
year in which he said that he thought "people are willing to
really stretch to get the best they can afford in that category".

The funny thing is I understand Apple's strategy of cultivating an ignorant gullible customer base far better than that ignorant customer base does.

An iPhone user for 5 years now I can state that you are 66.7% wrong. iPhones have improved and are faster versus the top of the line when I switched from Android. I don't see Android top level phone prices dropping. Of course there is a wide range of
cheaper, less capable, phones in the Android world. I owned several, and speak from experience. I'll not be switching back.
