Am I right in saying some Apple hardware is now a brick Not the ones I use. I use a 2008 iPhone 3 (15 years old) as an iPod daily with no problems, and a launch day iPad (2010 - 14 years ago) for reading e-mail with no problems. Plus a couple of shuffles I listen to in bed. All sync with the latest version of macOS and Apple's Music program with no problems.
