This was the first thing I tried looking for in the settings and was sad to see that it wasn’t there. For the most part, it is useable, so it’s good enough for me.

I’m a software engineer who uses a lot of open source software and I use Apple devices whenever possible. Electronic devices cost a lot of money, so I want my money to count. With that said, every Apple device I’ve owned has lasted me for a very long time and are still working today; The longest one being a 2012 Macbook Air which is still alive and kicking today after 2 battery replacements.
Every iPhone I’ve ever owned have received major iOS updates for 5-6 years. Meanwhile, every Android flagship phone (which costs similarly to the latest and greatest iPhones) I’ve owned have stopped getting major Android updates after 2-3 years. People criticize Apple for planned obsolescence, but other brands have it worse.
Even if you do listen to your friend’s advice and decide to go for another brand, which one actually advocates for the ideals your friend has shared with you? The direct alternatives to Apple products aren’t better in any philosophical way. The ones that do either offer a completely difference experience or an inferior product.
Don’t feel bad about what your friend is saying. He doesn’t pay for your stuff.
