Apple Stops Signing iOS 12.2 Following Release of iOS 12.3

"Apple routinely stops signing older versions of software updates after new releases come out in order to encourage customers to keep their operating systems up to date to ensure incremental planned obsolescence"

Even an iPhone 5S is supported (iOS 12), that's a 6 year+ old phone.....

It's like talking to brick walls with their terrible obsolescence narrative. Biggest cause of obsolescence is the passage of time.

Shhhhh, that sort of fact based argument doesn't fit in with nonsensical Android based astroturfing. If they keep repeating a lie long enough they count it'll stick with some people. Remember, Apple with those security and functionality updates for users phones (like the 5s, a 6 year old phone) really screws over Apple customers compared to Android where the longest updates (google) is only 3 years with other vendors often only 2 years of updates or if its not a top of the line phone (Samsung) a good chunk do no updates at all. /s

Apple supporting 5 year old devices: planned obsolescence!
Android OEMs stop updating their devices by year 2 or 3: innovative!

Just FYI, you’re not required to update your iOS. You can keep your iPad 2 on iOS 5 for as long as you want.
