Biggest issue with my M3 Max is apple mandatory fun bloatware. I think it's the same playbook as phones long term. The hardware is still powerful but the software is optimized for the latest CPU, so older models run hot, take a fraction of the second longer to load the resources, etc. That stacks up over 5-6 years of releases to make older models feel slower.

Apple makes security updates available for the last few major OS versions, and even backports really bad ones further back on a case by case basis.
But with all of the AI-discovered exploits I think it'll become more important to keep everything up to date
