We’redefinitelynot ones to encouragethe cycle
of non‑stop iPhone upgrades. Hanging on to your
phone for a long time is a good thing. But just as
some users feel compelled to upgrade way too
often, others stubbornly refuse to get a new phone
until their current one literally won’t function at all,
and might need a little help accepting that their old
phone is holding them back.
If one or more of these signs apply to you, perhaps
it’s time to replace your iPhone.You can’t get iOS updates any longer
Apple does a better job than any other phone maker
of supporting old hardware with new versions of its
operating system. iOS 12 is supported by iPhones going
all the way back to the iPhone5s (releasedin 2013)
and iPads back to the third‑generation iPad and iPad
mini (released in 2012). That’s six years old.Even if you can live
without the new
features in the latest
version of iOS, you
shouldn’t forego its
security updates
