We have a perfectly good iPhone 3G (not even 3GS, just plain old 3G) which I think I bought in 2009. But it can't access the App Store anymore. Like, it literally won't show the page correctly if you try loading it up. The CSS is all broken, and none of the buttons or links actually work (presumably the JavaScript is broken too). So probably around 2012 I bought an iPhone 4 (not even an iPhone 4S, just plain old 4). And even though the App Store still works on that, it was dropped by iOS 8, so we can't even get most of the useful new apps that come out, because most (if not all) of them require iOS 8 or higher. This is Apple's attitude towards anyone who isn't spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on their products every 2 or 3 years: you're sad and pathetic, and screw you. Back when Steve was in charge, they had top notch hardware and it lasted forever. Anyone who still has an original iPod knows those things still work amazingly well, they were built to last. But now Apple's software and hardware is going downhill quickly, so the high price tag is no longer justifiable. They've gone the way of Thinkpads after Lenovo took them over. I felt like a fool in 2012 or 2013, when I suggested to my employer that instead of buying me a MacBook Pro work computer, he buy a Mac Pro, because it would be around longer, and all we'd need to do was swap out the internals to upgrade it, which would be much cheaper than buying a whole new MacBook Pro. Literally like less than a year later, Apple came out with a brand new type of Mac Pro, completely ditching the kind they had what seemed like forever until then, and it's all incompatible internals now. Honestly I'm tired of Apple's crap and I'm abandoning ship. I'll still use this stupid MBP that I bought for myself a few years ago, but when it inevitably dies in a few years and can't be fixed, I'll probably look into older IBM Thinkpads and switch to Linux full time.
