Apple will fix this by making new IOS software updates inoperable on older models/ turning “older” iPhones into bricks.

Sub in iPad and that is my situation. I currently have 2 that are getting more and more useless with each week.


As for phones, I refuse to pay 1k for a phone unless I absolutely have to. My wife was complaining the other day that we needed to upgrade our iphone 8's because her battery was going downhill fast. All it took was turning off all the apps that tracked her all the time and actually updating her phone.

I used to upgrade every 2 years but now I'll just ride until they die. If they came back down on prices I might consider every 2 years again but I don't see much of a point unless they make some major changes in features (not camera).
