Just don't ever update it. Used to update all my iphones and they would eventually develop problems and not even last the length of the contract (2 years). I stopped updating with my current iPhone 6, and I mean not a single update since I bought it, and it's still performing the same as when it was new.

I gave up, every few months I check the market to see if there's anything interesting and then move on with my life. It's not worth it and the market doesn't actually move that fast with only 3-4 real updates per year worth knowing (which you'll hear about without much effort, like this thread) and at this point half of them don't actually have much impact.
Apple adopting a standard wireless charging standard may be cool and pan out in a few years. Imagine tossing your phone on the table at whatever coffee shop or casual restaurant of choice and getting a bit of charge out of it. No wires while you're on the go, no outlet searching, just a ubiquitous spread of surfaces to charge your devices. The tech was around years ago (Nexus 4 in 2012 was the first device I saw with it, Kia has a charging surface as an option in their cars now) but with Apple adoption it could push it more mainstream.

One positive to Android, they don't bother supporting devices long enough for the OS/apps to outpace the hardware! |

Same for me, I have iphone 6 from work that I pay nothing for. We are allowed to upgrade every 2 years to the model behind the current one out.
Free phone with unlimited everything, makes me not care anything about what is currently being released |

I found it odd that the earliest computer can be traced back in time to Adam and Eve.
It was an Apple. But had very little memory, only one byte. then everything crashed

The problem is since they gave it to me they expect me to answer it 24/7. It isn't all fun and games. Yes my subordinates have cell phones that I will call (it is the other way around about 90% of the time though) and if they are not company issued ones I do sign off on any costs they submit without a moment's hesitation.

He forgot that after initial boot the phone requires a password before allowing face unlock.
I find it funny that these leftover Apple big wigs all try so hard to dress casually and yet can neither imitate nor understand Steve Job's vision of the work uniform (idea from his visit to the Sony factory in Japan); Levis 501 blue jeans, Issey Miyake black turtleneck, and New Balance 99x grey running shoes. Actually even the iPhone itself is a ripoff of the Sony Ericsson P800, just like how the iPod was a ripoff of the Sony Walkman, and how the MacBook Air was a ripoff of the Sony Vaio X505. Hell even the first PowerBooks were engineered and made by Sony. Jobs must have been a Sony fanboy. Greatness. Then there's Jonathan Ive being a fanboy of Dieter Rams at Braun. Again greatness. Almost forgot about the bit with Xerox PARC lmao! Absolute greatness. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J33pVRdxWbw"]How Steve Jobs got the ideas of GUI from XEROX - YouTube[/ame] I wonder if Steve Jobs put Tim Cook in charge of Apple on purpose to fucking totally destroy it for his own benefit by leaving a mark in the history books.
