I mean, the week the iPhone X came out, they put out an irreversible update for the iPhone 7 that made it unusable. They also tried to charge me 2,300$ to fix just one broken keyboard key. Apple is definitely that bad.

I tried to search for info about an update that broke iPhone 7 phones. Couldn’t find anything. Can you point me to some more info?

It never happened. I used a 6 and a 6S Plus, fully updated, for many years after my I got my wife an XS. Not that it proves nothing happened to the 7 the year before the XS came out, but,

A) it would have been huge news if Apple bricked all iPhone 7, and

B) it makes no sense to brick iPhone 7, but not the ones before it.

Yeah I used my original SE until iOS 16 came out (actually until last year) and it was never bricked.

Looks like we found the “things that never happened” double Jeopardy for today
