    Almost every new iPhone. The product line is the iPhone. The product in the like is the specific phone. Saying apple abandoned the iPhone is like saying chevy abandoned the Silverado, the longest running truck model in America, by releasing a new one every year. It’s literally the exact opposite of the point you’re trying (very very very badly) to argue.

      I am not arguing, its sadly a fact. Apple abandon every iphone or macbook that is older than 1-2 Generations ( or rather said 1-2 Years ). They make on almost all iterations something incompatible or deprectating stuff to force “old” generations userbase to buy the new product. The iphone LINE is very long running but every iteration is not that long. I said it about repairability about their phones, they just either refuse to repair “old” (1-2 year old) laptops or smartphones, and that is what bugging me about them. With it the iteration is dead/abandoned by apple, as they control every part that a third party repair service could use, literally making your phone very risky if something breaks nothing can be done.

        Apple repairs all hardware for 5 years after the last day they officially sell the hardware.

        The oldest phone that still runs the newest version of iOS was released in 2018, so frankly I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

        You are conflating abandoning a product (such as iPhone) with abandoning a model (such as iPhone 13). These are not the same thing.
