Why not use Apple’s built-in VPN, iCloud Private Relay? Same protection aside from from the location spoofing that a VPN will allow. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/icloud-relay/

That doesn’t do what you think it does.  Furthermore it doesn’t do anything for apps, such as banking.   I fear that you don’t understand what iCloud private relay actually does, and by extension many other users are getting a false sense of security by using that feature 

This has to be a mistake.  Donald doesn’t pick qualified people and qualified people wouldn’t work for him.  Probably a fake resume.

I upgrade to the Pro Max every year. First off my carrier pays for most of it and since my whole life is on my iPhone I want the most up to date security, speed and features( Apple Intelligence is great btw) etc. 

I wouldn’t do that no matter how much money I had.  That’s just dumb.   I’m sure the real cost is included with your carrier payments.   I pay $20/month unlimited with Visible wireless (using the Verizon network).  Lemme guess, you’re paying more than $70/month, probably more.

In the early years they made significant updates with each new model.  Today’s updates are incremental.  Zero need for purchasing a new model just because.   I’m on the SE bandwagon myself and skipped 2022.   The 2020 model is just about ready to be replaced.   $400 to $500 every 5 years is reasonable.

I don't think screen quality is bad on the air. 

The baseline people won't care, Apple needs to make it thinner.

I agree.  I have the M3 MBA and don’t care.  Display is fine.  I prefer a good value at a lower price than a fancy more expensive display.
