ESPECIALLY Apple. They developed a subscription model for hardware.
- ratsimihah 8y agoI don't care if my device is 5 years old, they've often been. As long as they're not too slow to use.
- raydev 8y agoYou say this as their oldest supported phone is entering 5 years since release. Instead of accusing them of designing for planned obsolescence, maybe consider the gigantic performance gains between each model for the first 5 years.
- lwansbrough 8y agoLet’s not pretend like yearly release cycles are still necessary. And 5 years is only commendable on mobile, but is becoming less so as many of the software changes that impact performance are superfluous “improvements” like Animoji and live backgrounds. Imagine if Windows only supported up to 5 year old hardware.
