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.

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.

I remember with my 3G I held out until Apps stopped working which was only a 3-4 months after the update came out, I think that's changed over the past ~5+ years as apps strive to be backwards compatible and hardware has gotten better so yeah, I'll hold off on updates if I get an iPhone SE.

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

It is actually easy for me. For the last 15 years work has handed me a cell phone and said "this is what you get we will upgrade when we feel like it".


My wife is always the first person in line for any new Iphone that hits the markets whether she needs it or not.


All decision making, tracking changes, comparing different types is all out of my hands.

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

Oh look at Mr fancy "so important to the company we need him to have a cell phone" gosh darn baby boomers with all your handouts, bet you have subordinates personal cell phones that you'll call in an emergency but does he get help with his cell phone bill nooooo...

I'm not bitter.

LOL well it beats hell out of the pager days!
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.

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.
