Apple bowed to pressure and sought to silence rumors of a self-destructing chip by revealing the iPhone's life expectancy. Let us remind you that years ago Apple had to offer a two-year warranty instead of a one-year warranty due to European legislation (previously this was offered only with additional payment - AppleCare), but this did not silence the insinuations. So what is the life expectancy of an iPhone as claimed by Apple?
You know what she's like iPhone life expectancy? Apple, which successfully keeps the innards of the iPhone (and other devices) away from the prying eyes of the public, has revealed the life cycle of the iPhone to the public without software upgrade. Although the reality is that the lifespan of a phone is a generation or two at most, phones actually last longer, although they appear speculation about "self-destruct" chips, which was also blamed on Apple and its iPhone, which quickly fades after the warranty expires. Is there any truth to it, or is it all twisted from the vine?

With laptops, by updating the software and changing some "organs", the lifespan can be extended to 6 years, it is also possible to extend the life of the iPhone by upgrading. But let's be realistic. Raise your hand if you have a three or more year old iPhone in your hands right now. Nobody. It seemed to us. Maybe you have it, but it's tucked away in a drawer somewhere. You know, yes you are sitting on a gold mine? More on that soon...
