Apple at one point would stop fixing "bugs" in the software after a period of time so people would have to upgrade when the old one slowed down to the point it was hard to use.

Almost every company is guilty of this. Looks like what splinterlands does every two years with rendering older cards less relevant while printing newer ones to keep the money coming in.

The newer Samsung are poorer then what Samsung use to manufacturer, and funny enough the newer ones are ridiculously expensive.
