Its just rude to support such eco system.
As an experiment i tried an iphone4. Apple support helped register an account which didnt work any more for multiple reasons, the app store works just fine, you just cant get any software. Clicking on download does dl the apps but then it says you must upgrade your OS.
There is no software!
Developers say they have a version for it but you may not install apple says. What kind of deal is that? Its a good device, it could have all kinds of applications.
- scarface74 5y agoThe iPhone 4 is not a “good device”. It’s 3G only and the networks have already announced that they are completely shutting down 3G networks by the end of the year.
- ratww 5y agoSure, but it could still be used as a wifi-only device. I have an old iPhone 8 that I keep around for music and streaming to a TV.
- scarface74 5y agoAnd an iPhone 4 running iOS 7 can still stream your personal music collection that you can either sync via iTunes or download on your phone. iWorks still works on my first gen iPad.
- seba_dos1 5y agoOnly some networks. I'm not worried that 3G will stop working where I live anytime soon.
- throwaway14356 4y agoit was revolutionary at the time. It doesn't need a sim to be useful, it needs software. Lots of software exists but new things are also an option. say, what does a video doorbell with a screen cost? Reducing the functionality to a single thing it would do better as a proverbial alarm clock than my flagship phone where i cant seem to figure out how to kill all sound except from the alarm.
