Every iPhone I ever bought suddenly farked at the 2 year mark, every single one! Then I started taking them to that guy who owns a shop that Apple had been attacking for years! $100 new battery new screen. Apples next attack is no software updates. Fine I turned off up dates. So they turned off support. My phone stopped working. Ok I can play this game. They sent me a brand new phone free of charge. I turned off automatic updates. Let’s see where this goes.

I solved this problem by not owning a phone.

$92 for a class-action settlement is actually quite a good payout.
