>An unmodified iPhone SE (2022 model) with OS support until 2032 What makes you think it'll be supported for a decade? Looking at the past models, the support period is around 5-7 years. If you count security updates that might get you to 10 years, but at the 7-9 year mark apps will eventually refuse to update because you're not on the latest ios. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone#Models https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone#Models

To be fair my 2016 iPad Pro is up to date and can still run any app I throw at it

If you’re not using it regularly, why would you need anything except security updates?

  You will also need to accommodate the banking apps updates, banks will not support very old versions of their apps( very old varies but probably about a few months ). Beyond that the new versions may require hardware support that may not be available in a decade old phone.

    History here is they will require a recent OS version even if it is unnecessary.

By the time that iPhone SE 3 finally goes unsupported (even the iPhone SE 2 from 2020 has yet to lose support) you'll just buy a cheap refurbished iPhone 16e. Old-gen iPhones are widely available and quite cheap.

  i think most here if not all, people complaining by predatory practices of not supporting or liberating your device to whatever you want, are not worried or effected by monetary reasons for my smartphone usage, i could still use my iphone se (1° gen) perfectly fine and that would include writing some pieces with garageband; which got deprecated and non-download-able because newer versions weren't aimed to my iOS version. heck the vast majority of smartphones aren't compilling software with local hardware (nor i know why someone would do)... guess we could stop with processing power advancement of 2015 just fine to run Whataspp and Instagram. producing hardware is costly, not everyone has a decent job nor minerals are infinite and have no ecological impact
