Every time I see people state that #Apple is designing the #iPhone with planned obsolescence in mind I want to spit. Nothing screams sheer idiocy more than this stance.
What they are actually doing is designing a device with longevity in mind. This allows for higher resale value on the secondary market which is a huge growth driver for Apple.
God forbid your iPhone 8 from 2017 not be capable of running the latest version of #iOS as the system requirements for software continue to increase.
