    Man, there’s a lot of shit one can criticize Apple for, but planned obsolescence? I’m typing this from my 2012 MacBook Air, which has my iPhone 8 plugged into it that I use for work every day. I don’t upgrade because I don’t have a need to.

    I don’t upgrade because I don’t have a need to.

    You don’t upgrade because you can’t. Apple intentionally locks down its products. And that’s before getting into the numerous lawsuits over battery life and iOS slowdowns.

    Apple is absolutely engaged in planned obsolescence.
