Contempt. use any apple device 2 updates back or more. you're screwed.

You would accept this in no other place in life, except that apple gives it for free, and puts a 'security' sticker on the box.

It's a racket. Planned obsolescence 2.0 - Users forced to update, update removes features, breaks working apps, breaks paid for ip ( literally removed from phones), apple blames the devs. bullshit.



It is a shame that you can't choose to get security updates only without app-breaking feature changes. So you have to update (because security, actively exploited vulnerabilities, etc.) but then your apps (mostly paid apps in my case since I dislike subscriptions and obnoxious f2p monetization schemes) break.


It mostly works?


yes. and it's what I use every day.

the plan evil though.
