    Like what? I’m still using my 2011 MacBook Pro, and my phone is about six years old.

    I can’t update my 2011 MBP to the latest version of OSX, but it still works fantastically for everyday stuff. Phone can update to the next version of iOS.

      can’t update

      Yeah, that’s the problem, if your hardware can run the latest software, it should be able to update to the latest software

        It’s THIRTEEN YEARS OLD! It still functions! If it stops functioning, I can put Linux on it!

        It’s a first-gen Core i7… I don’t think the hardware would support the latest version that well, if at al.

          It’s THIRTEEN YEARS OLD!

          Thirteen year old Windows computers still get updates (not to mention Linux).

          It still functions!

          Really? You don’t have any apps that refuse to run because the OS version is too old? My 10 year old iMac won’t run hardly anything…not even a browser.

          Mind you, not because the hardware is broken or unsupported, or the software is supported, but because Apple simply refuses to allow it.
