Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but anyone feel like Apple is slowly having an...over-engineering problem?
The Apple Vision Pro, this... the new iPad Pros with FUCKING M4 CHIPS THAT ARE RUNNING IPADOS (??????)
Like what is happening in their product development department lately?

Listen, I can't lie...my iPhone X is the best phone I've owned. Bought in 2017 and still going strong with promised support until 2026/27. I still have fond memories of "paying" my parents back for it (I was child labour 😀)
I bought a 14 pro and gave my nephew my X. Besides the island and the camera quality they are largely indistinguishable for almost all of my use-cases. And they are almost 5 years apart.
Huh? I was pretty sure it’d fall out of OS support this year. And without security patches, shudder
It still gets security updates, just not iOS17 support. My mum is on the 6s with iOS 15 and that still gets security updates. It's my secondary phone, and in it's lifetime l've had a two Pixels and a Samsung that I had to return for build faults (Pixel) or they stopped doing software updates/security updates.
There are many faults for Apple, but their iOS support can't compare to any first party Android. iPhone owners don't NEED to upgrade every two/three years, they do it because they're dumbasses.
Thanks for the info. Yeah, that support is even better than I’d thought, and it was already top-tier
