So you’re angry that a Google service doesn’t have longevity on an Apple product?

Your argument makes no sense. Who even cares if these ancient paperweights work? That’s not “planned obsolescence”, that’s just hardware and software getting old.

Well there was no such thing as the “iPhone 3”. There was the iPhone 3G or the iPhone 3GS, but no “iPhone 3”.

And this doesn’t prove anything lol an iPhone 3G can still connect to a 3G network and make calls and browse the internet.

“Planned obsolescence”? Like where the iPhone 7 and on have received 6 to 7 years of software updates?

Called it. Elon's doing exactly what I thought he would do: [https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947](https://aus.social/@ajsadauskas/109979152813584947) in c/[email protected]

We’ve known about the X everything app for months now. Elon hasn’t been hiding the fact that he wants to compete with all major forms of social media. Twitter’s acquisition was only the first step. Soon it will be YouTube and Twitch competition, then Instagram, etc.
