Apple is using planned obsolescence against the iPhone 17e

Gentleman if you haven’t updated to iOS 27 don’t update cause Apple will make you buy new phone…
It’s so absurd that Air is even competing with 17e. I bought this phone only because it has the best battery life in the 17 series except the pro max model..
Here’s the link of the YouTube video. Please don’t justify this if you are getting good battery life it’s probably still less than what other 17 series would get.

Does anyone face overheating problems while charging or while using your phone a lot?

Facing this issue a lot. Phone is only 2 months and under Apple care.

iPhone 17e as an iPod?

Hey everyone, I'm a bit of an oddball that sometimes I like to have a separate, "disconnected" music player, much like the iPod or iPod Touch from years ago, to store and listen to music and podcasts without easy access to social media and the internet.

Today, I use my old iPhone 14 Pro Max to do this, but it has some distinct downsides:

  1. Big
  2. Heavy
  3. No USB-C

I'm thinking of buying a used iPhone 17e from eBay to fill the role of an iPod, but curious if this crowd can think of any reason why that might be a bad idea with the 17e.

Things I'm looking for - a cheap, small, light device with decent speakers for when I don't have my AirPods.
