The current iOS 17 is compatible with the iPhone XS, which is from 2018. That's 6 years for a piece of tech that the majority of people replace after < 4 years.

Also to nit pick, Apple is based in Cupertino (northern CA) and JPL is in Los Angeles - so it'd be quite a bike ride lol
- AstroJetson 2y agoI have an iPad Air from 2014 that hasn’t been able to get updates since iOS 12.5, so 2019. The electronics are fine, a browser update would be awesome. Would people not replace phones in < 4 years if they could have current software? 4 years on a $800 thing doesn’t seem to be a good deal for the majority of us. Sorry about the distance thing. I’m from Philadelphia, so all of that (vaguely waving west) has got to be bikeable. But I’ll remember the /s for next time.
