@johnlee83123 while i do agree 100% with you, I do realize that this is really not feasible. I do get the point of having updated software to support all the latest and great features and technology. What need to happen is that we need to stop upgrading and stop using the APPs that require frequent updates. It should always be left up to the end users discretion to update or not to update. I can tell you that most of my computers still run Win 7 and my phone hasn't been updated for a couple of years. I also do not ry to install any new Apps nor do I expect my phones to have the same snazzy feel as my colleagues iPhone 13 or even the 15. you know what, that is okay with me. I use my phone as a phone, yes it lets me text and take pictures but that is all I need. I do not need all the latest and greatest features :-) you see I voted with my pocketbook. I don't own it, I won't buy it. I refuse to be Apple's, HP's, Lenovo, Canon, Nikon and others piggy bank.
