My <5 year old iPhone could not handle the absolutely braindead “liquid glass” of ios26. The phone overheated regularly. The battery drained twice as fast as expected. And every action on the phone took longer than on previous versions.

It’s also painful on the eyes, and removing the motion and transparency makes the user experience worse somehow.

Guess I’m fucked for not upgrading my phone every year, and Russia can have my wifi.

  Your <5 year old phone is very capable and could definitely handle it.
  They just want you to think it’s more advanced and more difficult to render, rather than a deliberate performance degradation to make you want to upgrade.
  
  The iphone 3gs could render infinity blade. Don’t let apple fool you into believing a pixel shader is too much for a device that came out a decade later to handle.

As an American I feel like the biggest digital threat is our government.

All others get smack in the face and a stern “we’re re supposed to be on the same team!”

The right thing for Apple to do here, is patch all devices. But they won’t do that. So… ok

  Apple did release updates for end of life iOS versions going back to version 15 because of this

    While I do know they support older devices better than some others, the article said anything 18 and below is vulnerable. Some of the latest updates in your linked page are only up to 16.7.14.

  Apple has longer support for updates than any other manufacturer. This exploit is for iOS 18 and it was already patched for most users on most devices by the time we are hearing about it.
