So, let’s say Apple stops updating the XR tomorrow. Does your phone explode? Does it turn into a brick? Absolutely not. It just stops getting new features and security patches. Your apps will still work for a year or two, and your phone will still look sleek in your hand.
Compare it to a car that stops getting factory upgrades. You can still drive it, take road trips, and enjoy the ride. You just won’t get the fancy new GPS system. And honestly, most people don’t even use half the features in the latest iOS anyway.
