It's also worth noting that the first 64-bit iPhone/iPad were released in 2013, so they've been around for a while. The iPhone 5c will have the shortest support window from its release, at 4 years.

The 4s will be 6 years old this year, and iOS 10 dropped support for it in 2016. The iPhone 5 will likely not be compatible with iOS 11 when it arrives in September. I think 5 years is a pretty good run, and it seems like the standard now.

My $200 Canon P&S that I bought in 2013 still takes better low-light pics than my iPhone 7. Phones are good enough, sure. But top of the line phones still can't do low-light very well.

Until the last year Apple didn't make any devices that could actually reasonably drive a 5k monitor (save the iMac of course), and that's ignoring the connectivity problem.

I skipped over it but I did go back to a GP. Got more prescriptions for hydrocortisone+dovonex, and that if it should get significantly worse, to line up a referral to a derm. After that, I had a relatively stable 5 years where my fingernai

iOS may be popular but it also seems very much tied to onsite work. Whenever I do remote-specific job searches there's 100x more remote opportunities for web devs.

Only UIWebView, which is going away soon. But surely you can see the difference between executing limited actions inside a web view, and making available any native method to a web view.

If they're using JSC, then they can definitely download JS and execute native methods. They could subclass any UIKit object and make it conform to JSExport. Done, now they're "running native code."

What media outlet, TV or radio or web, promotes active violence against Trump supporters? I'll avoid naming them, but there at least 5 loud rightwingers who make millions of dollars promoting racism. Not just on the web, but on TV. On
