My experience is that my older relatives get new phones frequently because they get their old ones so malware laden that they no longer function correctly.
That and apps grind to a halt because the developers use top of the line hardware and don't notice how wasteful of resources they are being.
- homarp 6y agobut your older relative also expects: a) the bank app to install b) the whatsapp or whatever "everyone my age uses that" they are using to install c) candycrush or whatever is the trendy game of the moment to install d) Netflix/Disney+/... app to install I really doubt these will ever be ported to PinePhone. And then, if they were, I am sure malware would also be ported, so back to square one.
