Oh come on, you’re not even trying to have a fruitful discussion. You don’t have to love Apple, but at least put a sliver of effort into the discussion.

Meaningful to me is something that improves quality of life for majority of people like vaccines, cure for terminal decease, better public transport etc. Making a $1000 phone sadly does not fall into same category.
Apple did push the industry with personal computers in 80s and better smartphones in 2007 but since then it’s been very incremental improvements.
NFC payments don't consume much energy on a phone either; you can generally set them to work even if the battery is dead.
Apple does provide all those as first party services though, so you might think of buying new phones as subscribing to that if you like it.
