just had to do some math here... 12 years after their initial release, Apple is still supporting devices with the iPhone 5S

from 2013!

that's like keeping old friends alive for another year or two. I mean, we all know what happens when tech companies stop supporting old stuff - they just start to die and become total junk

but in this case, it's like Apple is saying "hey, you can still use us... sort of".
anyway, here are some numbers: 80% of iPhone users are still on iOS 14 or older

(source: Statista), and that's a huge chunk of the market. So when Apple does these updates, it's not just about keeping old devices alive - it's also about keeping customers happy and invested in their ecosystem

.
also, did you know that the average smartphone user replaces their device every 2.5 years?

that's like going through a whole new phone cycle every year... crazy! but hey, at least Apple is showing us that even old tech can still have some life left in it
