You can't call something "perfectly working" and then complain that it doesn't work. You're talking about machine contemporary to netbooks, the Lumia 900, the Nexus 7, etc. None of that stuff is perfectly functional out of the box in 2024, either.

To be fair though, the ability to sideload on any of those devices has arguably expanded their usable lifetime beyond any depreciated iPhone. That's a feature that doesn't break when your TLS functionality gets depreciated, unlike iOS.

That's a nitpick. The hardware is perfectly working. And who even mentioned restricting this to "out of the box" functionality? The point is whether or not it's even possible to make it useful. I guarantee you I could install software on a Nexus 7, whereas I can't install anything on the iPad. Oh wait, except for VLC. But that's about it.
