iOS Updates

If you have an iPhone note this is how long Apple will provide updates to make sure the phone is secure. For most it's basically just five years and it really depends on the phone you have. So if you paid over one grand you have three years to stay secure. So overall Apple is no longer giving you the best for your buck and you might want to look elsewhere when it comes to saving money. 

It's kind of sad hearing the new Apple information but at least you have other options.

AWS & Microsoft Cloud Domination

In the meanwhile these two companies should start strategizing to practice fair business practices with other providers so that they do not come up under the radar that their company is a monopoly.
