Lifespan of Apple products continues to amaze me even if it should not.
if you can put up with each update making it worse, slower, less precise user interface. There's a reason old macs run linux rather than macos or go to landfil.
For the amount charged they should be usable for 15-20 years. Enschittification is very much an apple thing. Cue outraged apple cult memebers.
I’ve got an old iPhone 8 that runs great.
I've got an iphone 6 that doesn't, along with a couple of ipads that switch on but are useless and a couple of macs that now have to run linux to be useful in any way.
I've also got an iphone 15 pro that has started on on the enschittification update path. Pauses after presses, many more typos and it's just not slick and nice like when it was new.
But sure, in my experience, apple zelaots just won't believe it happens even while observing it.
