   Says Jolly Roger who lied for years claiming that Apple fully supported   
   more than a single release when even Apple wouldn't spew that brazen lie.   
      
       
       
       
      
   Back to the topic at hand, the fact is Apple products don't work in the   
   real world if you simply don't log into Apple mainframe servers daily.   
      
   1. You can't do the simplest things without logging into Apple's mainframe   
   2. You can't install apps   
   3. You can't use the messenger app the way you're used to using it   
   4. You can't use the facetime app   
   5. You can't use activation Lock   
   6. You can't do seamless Apple Music or Apple TV+ streaming across devices   
   7. You can't use homeKit-compatible devices   
   8. You can't back up your installed IPAs   
   9. You can't even update the operating system   
   etc.   
      
   There is only one other common consumer operating system set up as a   
   similar dumb terminal lacking even the most basic functionality, and that's   
   ChromeOS (which might even be worse than iOS given how limited it too is).   
      
     ChromeOS === iOS (same dumb terminal concept)   
      
   Both ChromeOS & iOS have no innate functionality without constantly logging   
   into the Apple mainframe matrix servers for most of its basic capabilities.
