I think apple is doing some planned obsolescence with their software. I'm not sure exactly when, but I've been stuck on my current iOS version for more than a year. So 5-6 years of support? It's not very long for a trillion dollar company to support one of their main product lines.

The bottom line for me is that I just don't care about this area of tech. It anti-interesting to me. Handheld computer that can make calls, we've had them for 20 years now. Very cool, mostly unchanged. The screen is better. They still break when you drop them. There are a lot of apps now.
