   Personally, I don't have any cellular device at all, never have had, so   
   couldn't really care less.  :-)   
      
   In the last 10 years or so there has been a steadily increasing push by   
   tech companies with new-fangled gimmickry that nobody asked, and very   
   few people want or need. It's almost entirely simply so that the tech   
   companies can make more money via people having to constantly update   
   their devices.   :-\
