Wow. iOS 14 is hella bloated.

I would like the option to run an iPhone OS 1.0 sized OS on a modern iPhone.

But why? You'd have no 3rd party apps, gps, cell service, and Safari wouldn't work. To make it usable, Apple would have to put in a lot of effort.

Safari would work with my own site, and probably with Google Search.

But not with HTTPS.

I think HTTPS is overrated for most applications.

It has many drawbacks, too.

This is presumably part of the reason the iPhone 6S is not going to receive iOS 14 next year - since it was sold with 16GB as the lowest capacity. The next model along, the iPhone 7, had 32GB as the lowest capacity.

From experience it’s typically used to mean ”Something I dislike”

haha you got exactly what I was driving at. Wehn you're driving anyone passing you is a reckless maniac, and anyone slower than you is an idiot. When you're programming any convenience a language/standard library has more than your favorite is just Fisher Price childish handholding, and any missing feature is senseless busywork that should be built into the library.

And when it comes to OSes the word of choice is Bloated it would seem.
