When any fan of any thing can back up their love for that thing with legitimately commendable things, I don’t think it should be shot down or avoided simply because you have a personal problem with it.

Apple is notoriously anti repair for sure, and they are the pioneers of insane price jacking for their devices, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they really do support their hardware with software updates for a long, long time. One of the longest for sure.

The iPad Air 2 only stopped being supported in 2022 with iOS 16. It stayed on the list for nearly 8 years (just 1 month shy of 8). That’s insane. Do you even remember 2014?

I really, really like StarCraft II, in fact it might be my favorite game ever. For all of Blizzard's misgivings, that is one thing I cannot and will not take away from them.

My point being, what does that have to do with the article?

I'm running an 11 year old MacBook Pro on the latest version of iOS. Credit where credit's due.

My favorite supermarket carries great golden kiwi and has carried it year-round for like 10 years now. Credit where credit is due.
