Forced to upgrade


On finally having to upgrade my iPhone

I've never bumped up against the limitations of the hardware (gaming on a phone is a bit of a mystery to me), and all of my photos and videos are synced to the cloud, so I've never even run out of the 64gb of storage space. The iPhone 8 will never support iOS 17 since Apple only provides software updates for 6 years after the device's release date. I have a perfectly functional iPhone that is becoming obsolete, not through any fault of its own or depreciation of the hardware, but due to dwindling support.
