1) iPhone 3GS, screen backlight stopped working after 3 years. One component change fixed it
2) iPhone 4S, zero issues
3) iPhone 5S, zero issues
4) iPhone 6S, battery didn't like the cold after 2 years, swapped a new one for 50€, my friend's kid still uses it
5) ... etc up until the current one. No issues
Along with multiple Apple laptops, I'm still daily driving a 2015 MBP for my mobile needs. I did get a free battery and topcase replacement due to a recall around 2020-ish.
Multiple M1 and M2 work laptops, zero issues.
The best part is that I could resell every Apple product I've bought for a decent amount of money because people know the software is still getting updates for years and the hardware is solid.
The chicklet keyboards were trash though. Touchbar would've been nicer if it didn't replace the F-keys.
