Oh yeah, I’m not saying the 4S is a good phone nowadays, but I still consider it the best phone of all time when you consider when it came out, what its competitors were, etc. Similar to the Nvidia 1080 GPU.
What I’m saying is that Apple made sure to turn it into a bad phone three years after its release, while the 1080 is still a decent GPU several years later.
I would nominate the Gtx1080 (actually the 1060 6gb too) as the best of the best GPU ever made.
The price/performance ratio at their launch was insane and even 7 years later, they’re still valid options for budget gamers.
That’s one. 1080 GTX. And it’s been about 6 years dutifully chugging away
Literally just replaced my 1080ti after about 5 years, absolutely loved it

My 4S became unusable after the … iOS 6? 7? update; nothing would remain running in the background and apps took several seconds to start.
Switched to Android and never looked back.
Edit: looked up a few dates and I think it must have been iOS 8.
