Older iPhones Bricked for Being Too Outdated – Locking Users from Their Data

Last update was 2020, but I don't really care about the updates nor "security", which is just blanket term for lockdown, aka security for the vendor, not your security. Android allows me to do things and does not treat me like a criminal in addition to feeling like I actually own the device.

I don't know if I would keep some of my most private information on a device that has not had security upgrades for two years. Especially when exploits like [CVE-2022-20465](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2022-2046...) which bypass the lockscreen exist.

I wouldn't keep anything important on a phone no matter what phone it is. And even then if I did, I would use separate encryption app for storing such data.
