Well, good. The moment they stop, it's declared E-waste and Apple suggests you give it to them for free.

Fucked-up world we live in where a disposable vape can be reused for more purposes than an iPhone with expired software support.

I got plenty of old iPhones I can still use.

My pile of old android phones ... they sadly do not live long overall as far as a % of survivors goes. A few have lived long lives for sure, but overall not as many as my old iPhones.

Choose phones supported by LineageOS where the bootloader can be unlocked, and you can easily outlast iOS.

I used to do this back when I was on Android and official updates only lasted 1-2 years. Now I’m on an iPhone I get official OS updates for such a long time I don’t need to worry about flashing custom roms.

I want root reliably.

Every version of Lineage offers rooted debugging, even without Magisk.

I know that root can be obtained in iOS, but Apple really prefers that users be restrained from this capability.
