As somebody who was already a high school student deeply ‘into’ computer technology at the time, I perfectly remember the hype and release of XML.

IOS was released last week by mental accounting standards.

To hear both be branded as ‘legacy’ is, frankly... well, it makes me feel ancient.

You shouldn't feel too ancient, as the label is grossly misused by GP in characterizing iOS and XML :-).
XML came out in 1998, iOS in 2007 (or a year later for the SDK). It’s closer to XML than to today.
