Yeah, and the ones Apple makes are both consumer grade and nothing special.

“Consumer grade” is literally the best though. The iPhone isn’t some watered down version of the good thing that governments and rich people use. It’s as good as money can buy.

They aren't 'literally' the best, not in software or hardware. They might be high tier consumer items, but that makes them luxury items and does not magically elevate them to best business grade software or hardware (broadly speaking).

You mean 'lower', now 'elevate'. Business-grade software is usually a tier below consumer-grade. After all, you only have to convince management on the business-advantages of your software, not the actual users who have to use it on a day-to-day basis. They don't get a vote. That's why business software gets away with terrible performance and UX.

What are those superior "business-grade" phones, computers, OSes? Please provide some examples.

Feel free to wake me when IOS and Macs are running most of the IT infrastructure in the world.

That’s not a refutation. Show us the phone that only billionaires can afford because it’s better.

Why are you suddenly bringing in billionaires in this picture? This is about Apple software and hardware not being the best in class, an example no-one can refute being the hardware/software needs for businesses. Hell, depending on what you're looking for you can buy better consumer level items (and often cheaper).

Apple makes luxury consumer items, this shouldn't even be questioned.

That is debatable, and it also doesn't negate the fact that they're nothing but a consumer electronics company.
