re: Apple admits to screwing you

quote:

apple (and i presume other companies, but not all) forces their phones to upgrade, so it's more like forced, rather than planned, obsolescence

they dont magically quit working one day.
you can use your phone as long as the cell carrier supports it.
you can still use XP if you want, you just cant use MSE or IE11 with it or get security updates. it isnt forced.
