I’m using an almost four year old iPhone 12 mini, with absolutely no desire to upgrade. I plan to use this phone until it’s a brick.

I have pixel 3....works just fine. Except there are no more updates past Android 12 for this phone.

Apps that I need, like okta verify now require Android 14. So I'm forced to upgrade.

Just like others who had older iPads, then they call me asking why Chase app doesn't work and says they need an upgrade....but old iPads won't upgrade to the version needed.

Planned obsolescence.... I hate tech nowadays. I want 90s back with dial up Internet and home built beige boxes

I've been using a 12 Pro and if it wasn't for the version number in the name I wouldn't even be aware of its age. They are all so fast these days the battery dies long before it becomes too slow to use. If it wasn't for CarPlay and iMessage I'd absolutely use a flip phone with Android Go or something.
