I'm not saying a 6S is 'old technology'. My point is, it's the newest that is available/usable to me, and my path to an upgrade to 'new technology' is non-exist

I'm not saying a 6S is 'old technology'. My point is, it's the newest that is available/usable to me, and my path to an upgrade to 'new technology' is non-existent. I am saying, that the impression OP gave me is they were literally throwing it on the CEO's iPhone X, they felt like it worked there, and didn't bother to even go a couple generations back. This wouldn't be the first time I've actually seen this kind of business-destroying, frankly elitist behaviour that does not benefit business.
