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.

Ever since the Pixel 2, the Android phones put out by Google have been long lasting. I have a Pixel 2 XL that still works just fine and it's now 8 years old. Doesn't get OS updates but it works.
