That’s splitting hairs. Premium ≠ Best in all components. And the iPhone 12 and 13 have sold pretty well by all reports so the screen size is the only differentiator feature wise. (And battery which is unavoidable)

You are giving this Conservative government far to much credit. Their entire track record in government is full of poorly thought out sweeping changes. (See the entire Brexit process)

If the other party is 100% at fault, why should they not pay for the damage they caused? And its not “cheap” to not get comprehensive insurance. Its a calculated risk.
