To be fair, brands sabotage their own phones to try to force people to buy a new one every year. 1000 euros would be fine if the phone lasted the better part of a decade, but between lagging or non existent software updates, broken updates, and no affordable reparability, 1000 doesn't buy you a phone it pays for an expensive rental.
