⚖️ Who Is Apple Best For?
   User Type                                                 Recommendation
| Graphic/Video professionals          |      Best paired with a Mac
| General users who want stability  |   Apple offers long-term value
| Tinkerers/customizers                     | Android and Windows may suit better
| Budget-conscious users                  | Other brands offer better entry value

🔚 Final Verdict: Straightforward Answer
Yes, Apple is still expensive.
But… if you value long-term support, system stability, user experience, and resale value,
then “the price might be justified.”
If you're after affordable value or customization freedom, Android and Windows are still compelling choices.
