        I just saw that clip a week or two ago and I’m still laughing at it every time I see an apple product

      Listen, I can’t lie…my iPhone X is the best phone I’ve owned. Bought in 2017 and still going strong with promised support until 2026/27. I still have fond memories of “paying” my parents back for it (I was child labour 😀)

        I bought a 14 pro and gave my nephew my X. Besides the island and the camera quality they are largely indistinguishable for almost all of my use-cases. And they are almost 5 years apart.

        Huh? I was pretty sure it’d fall out of OS support this year. And without security patches, shudder

          It still gets security updates, just not iOS17 support. My mum is on the 6s with iOS 15 and that still gets security updates. It’s my secondary phone, and in it’s lifetime l’ve had a two Pixels and a Samsung that I had to return for build faults (Pixel) or they stopped doing software updates/security updates.

          There are many faults for Apple, but their iOS support can’t compare to any first party Android. iPhone owners don’t NEED to upgrade every two/three years, they do it because they’re dumbasses.

            Thanks for the info. Yeah, that support is even better than I’d thought, and it was already top-tier

      Or they have a ton of M4 sized wheels and it’s easier just to use the same wheel for everything
