Not sure what you mean by that exactly...

But if you're referring to something that's widely available, reliably good, a good value, etc... then it would be Cordoba in my opinion. Only difference is that I've owned 12 Cordobas and ZERO iPhones!

I am sure you can find a luthier or brand of guitar that equals your opinion of the iPhone as a brand of phone.

It's such a subjective topic that you're going to do better by trying to play different models and hear what your ears are telling you.

good luck!

I agree with what Red Label says. Well, with a few exceptions: I have not owned twelve Cordobas, I do own one of those iPhone thingies and the Córdoba is a far greater value in a classical guitar than any i product that I know of😁

I think the OP means, "which brand is designed to be replaced every two years and then bricked by OS updates 6 years down the line."

But seriously, was this a serious question, and if so what aspects of iphoneishness are important to you when thinking of guitars?

I have no idea what the OP means, but I am curious so hoping for clarification.

Being the iphone of guitars could be good, or could be bad.

Good:
Easy to use, looks flashy, works well with other products, and did I say it's easy to use? Brand recognition is enormous and foreign made parts are assembled in the USA.

Bad:
Not priced appropriately for the quality of materials in comparison to other brands. The iPhone specifically has lesser graphic capability and resolution, storage, and processing power than LG or Samsung.

Which quality are you looking for?
