More and more apps are pushing iOS 18.x, while most apps support Android 9.

I’m on an American Airlines flight. I couldn’t get the inflight Viasat entertainment to load. The same for a lot of their sites on the ground, simply do not work.

Meanwhile, my Galaxy S5 running Android 6.0.1, it works fine. Even plays videos. I’m starting to think this is planned obsolescence.

Even more concerning, I also brought an iPhone 6 just for fun, and I got no connection whatsoever. The portal doesn’t even load, just stays on a blue screen.

Before anyone asks, everything else works including the free Wi-Fi but not their entertainment page.

The phone is actually an iPhone 8, but since the iPhone 8 sub is locked and this is the closest public sub, I just posted here since they have the same specs and iOS version

Bought one in great condition 79 battery for €20. Is it still good to go for a year or two as phone for a month?

Hi there, I would like to know how you guys would export/backup photos and videos and stuff from iPhone without Mac devices like MacBooks and iMacs. And what are the ways to do so? I’m not familiar with iPhones (not very much of an expert) I’m not satisfied with iPhones being difficult to backup unlike old android/ Samsung phones (whoops my bad 😜🤪) which are easy peasy (like the ones from 2015) and not complicated. My main concern is that I want the original date and time to be intact and never to be overwritten at all (meaning that I want the same information/details of the file such as date and time of creation without the new date). So what do you guys use? Thanks in advance!

Edit:just to make sure, I want the original date and time and information for my files.

PSA 2026-10-01: Pulled up GE App to skip the long GE kiosk line, only to find out GE App has been replaced by TT App. What’s worse? TT only operates on iOS18+, so my fellow iPhone X users are SOL. I am down to one banking App and no investment App. Safari can’t even pull up Southwest or United without 5-10 minutes of processing, then errors galore. This forced obsolescence is starting to wear me down.
