   This is an important question given iOS has the shortest full support   
   lifecycle of all common consumer operating systems, including Android.   
      
   FACT:   
    *Apple fully supports only a _single_ operating-system major version*   
      
   That means, as of today, an iPhone 8, for example, is toast from a security   
   standpoint (which is why iOS has the most exploits of all mobile systems!).   
      
   Of the few iPhones & iPads which are still fully supported on iOS 17...   
                       *How old are they?*   
      
   HINT: The iPhone XR, shipped in October 2018 is only five years old.   
   DOUBLEHINT: The iPhone 8 shipped in September 2017 is only six years old.   
      
   Think about _why_ I ask given iKooks lied for years about Apple support.
