Why it worked

The video taps into a common frustration among users of older technology: the inability to use new apps due to outdated software. By framing this as 'planned obsolescence' and highlighting the disparity in support between iOS and Android, it resonates with a broad audience concerned about device longevity and software accessibility.

Summary

The video discusses how many iOS apps are dropping support for older versions, forcing users to upgrade their devices. It highlights that older iPhones, like the iPhone 6s, are still widely used in emerging markets and are being left behind by app updates, a phenomenon referred to as planned obsolescence.

the iphone 7 plus was released in late 2016, and was discontinued in late 2019. even tho the iphone 17 pro is already out, the 7 plus is still mainstream in emerging markets, such as the philippines. it even outperforms every current low-end android, thanks to its a10 fusion system on a chip. it was the first iphone with stereo speakers and a dual camera array. it also removed the mechanical home button and added a pressure-sensitive one with no moving parts. it can run most apps flawlessly. sadly, most apps stopped supporting ios 15 ages ago. even youtube ended support for it a year ago. google photos requires ios 18 (2024) or android 6 (2015), and this is called planned obsolescence (keywords: iphone 7, iphone 7 plus, iphone 7 in 2026, iphone 6s, ios 15, planned obsolescence, fix youtube ios 12.5.8, ios 14, ios 18, ipad air 2 in 2026, android, android marshmallow, android 6) #TechTok #fyp #xyzbca #cidstech #iphone
