It’s crazy to think supporting a five year old device is now considered ground-breaking. Windows did (does?) officially support devices fifteen years old. Desktop developers are only now starting to release apps that don’t support Windows XP, released twenty years ago.
From a consumer perspective, it’s crazy how often we’re expected to replace mobile devices (even though the story now isn’t as crazy as it was five years ago) and how much we shell out for them (even putting aside the monthly bills associated with them). Not to mention a PC was shared by the family and now every kid needs their own phone. Great for the economy but oh so wasteful.
