Why? Unless you need specific kernel features, Docker is superior because of containerization (runs on host kernel with no overhead), uses less space (layered image), and is easy to set up a complicated network (you want certain apps to run behind WireGuard with reverse proxy? Few lines in yaml).
Idk the myth of Apple being a luxury brand. It’s true like 7 years ago, but all flagship devices from major brands cost 1k if not more.
Buying the latest tech and using it for a long time is the most frugal thing ever. Buying outdated tech just means it gets outdated sooner.
OP, why not wait till Apple releases their new model in this fall and compare it to other brands to see which one you like :3
