Has Apple Already Won?

In this video, I investigate and unpack the truth about buying an iPhone, and what that means for my and other Apple users' quality of life and, ultimately, our bank accounts!

I bought my first iPhone in 2007. Fast-forward to now and I find myself looking back, ponderingly, on the last 17 to 18 years and wondering: 'how much of my hard-earned money have I spent on Apple products since then? And how did THAT happen?'. This video is NOT an Apple-bashing. It's an exploration of my journey through the Apple Universe, asking the ultimate question: was it worth it?

[Update: The Apple Watch was actually first launched in 2015. My bad!]
