iPhones last just three years says Apple
"Apple admits it expects the mobile devices to last only 36 months.

If your iPhone conks out after three years, you might feel shortchanged.

But for Apple it's all part of the plan. On its website, the US technology firm admits it expects the mobile devices to last only 36 months.

Its watches and iPads are also assumed to last around the same time. Owners of Mac computers can hope to eke out a fourth year of use.

The relatively short lifespans come despite some steep prices: the iPhone 6s Plus is £789 and an Apple watch with a solid gold case costs more than £10,000 (NZ$20,512). A 27in iMac is £1,849 (NZ$3,792)."

All these turds at Apple care about is raking in billions in profit at the expense of both their customers and the poor Chinese workers who slave to make their products.

F you Apple.

Re: iPhones last just three years says Apple
It's fine!

I don't buy iphones because i know they are heavily over priced and you pay through the nose for tiny limited data caps (me here paying £15/$21.30 for UNLIMITED monthly 4G cellphone data and calls).

The reason i say it's fine, is because the actual rate of change ie the rate at which technology improves and evolves in accelerating and has been for a while. After 3 years yet it really will be worth getting a new phone. Its not like the early 2000s when you could wait 5 years or the 80s when you could wait 10 yrs, or the 1950s when you could own something for decades before you upgraded. And besides they hold their value quite well indeed, all you need do after the 3 yrs is sell your old one.
Now if you can't afford that then i have to ask what on earth are you doing on an Iphone contract in the first place...

My I-Pad is fantastic and it can even make the Tea but when it comes to turning the microphone off of stopping the camera taking pictures, well you know it above them.

All these devices are spying on you, not just apple and they all come for big names in the USA who get money from the CIA/NSA.

You every move is being recorded one way or another and all the data that at first glance looks useless is being feed into A.I system that are getting smarter by the day.

You have to pay on a regular basis in order to be a full fledged member of the elite "Apple Church".

Makes sense.

Like a regular renewing of your vows to them.

I recently 'upgraded' to a 6. When my contract is up I'm going to downgrade. The whole industry profits from our dick-measuring contest of who's phone is more up-to-date. Pathetic.

So doing so fast math at $649 minimum that means you are losing about 18 to $20 per month just for a stupid phone. A phone which the battery will probably go bad before then and you can change it out and then it cost you even more money and that's the reason why I buy Androids and I love it.

Re: iPhones last just three years says Apple
Why buy something that RF waves can harm you? In the early days I owned a cell phone. I remember at a red light I was waiting to change green, I was on the cell phone talking to somebody. The ligh changed to green. It took a few seconds for the brain to wake up and notice it's time to go.


No phone for me money maker or not.


Now I get my RF fix from the monitor. I need a beer to calm down using it LOL
