    Like what? I’m still using my 2011 MacBook Pro, and my phone is about six years old.

    I can’t update my 2011 MBP to the latest version of OSX, but it still works fantastically for everyday stuff. Phone can update to the next version of iOS.

      can’t update

      Yeah, that’s the problem, if your hardware can run the latest software, it should be able to update to the latest software

        It’s THIRTEEN YEARS OLD! It still functions! If it stops functioning, I can put Linux on it!

        It’s a first-gen Core i7… I don’t think the hardware would support the latest version that well, if at al.

            not even a browser

            Try Firefox maybe? Safari and Firefox work perfectly on my 13 year old MacBook… I don’t know what’s wrong with your machine.

            Edit: you can’t put Windows 11 on a 13 year old machine, that’s a straight-up lie. Mind you, not because the hardware is broken or unsupported, but because Microsoft simply refuses to allow it.

                Why don’t your browsers work? Mine do.

                Also I’m still getting security updates.

                Edit: I don’t know why I’m entertaining you? The equivalent of the latest OSX is Windows 11 and you’re saying other shit?

                I get the APPLE BAD shit but that’s so disingenuous.

                I don’t think you’ve ever used Apple shit

                    Apple supports current macOS plus the previous two. If he’s on one of those ( which it sounds like) everything will work just fine.
