    They get updates, that will gank your device and make it unusable. Ask me how I know this.

    Are you talking about the underclocking?

    There was a generation that included many faulty batteries that caused undervolting. An undervolted CPU simply stops, causing the phones to shut off. The solution for those phones was to detect the battery lifecycle and underclock the CPU so it wouldn’t undervolt. For any phone affected, Apple offered extremely discounted (if not free) battery replacements, which would restore the CPU to original clock speed.

    I was an Android user at the time, and people were accusing Apple of planned obsolescence and decrying the underclocking, but it seemed like a solid solution to a faulty battery issue to me.

    Now, iOS tracks your battery health. If the battery has less than 80% battery health in the first, like, six months, it means a faulty battery and they will replace it for free.

    No, I'm talking about my Gen 1 iPad that picked up an update which completely brought it to it's knees because Apple apparently forgot how much RAM it had.

      The gen 1 iPad just sucked. For most apple products you should avoid gen 1 and gen 2. 3 seems to always be a big jump, and lasts longer.

        I recently tried setting up my old Wacom Bamboo tablet, but getting the drivers working on modern MacOS and Windows is a nightmare

                I have a 13 years old macbook with mx Linux on it. Works great. Faster than whatever last osx version it supported.

                Also have a 13 year old macbook air with LMDE, at some point they're basically useless without Linux.

                      Well that's Linux for ya. I boot into Linux and Windows occasionally, but driver compatibility for Photoshop and Blender via Wine isn't perfect.
