> I think it's important to highlight Apple's mentality: That old devices are dead to them, and their pretending they don't even exist anymore.

Sorry but the HomePod wasn't "killed" just because they upgraded from gen 1 to gen 2. Gen 1 HomePod literally just got a software update a month ago with another on the way. The iPhone X wasn't "killed" just because they released the iPhone 11. This list is egregiously version-centric for things where it makes no sense.

They used to just kill those things with upgrades until they were forced not to.

Apple had much longer support lifetimes for their products than all their competitors long before talk of mandatory minimums started to reach actual governments.

Yeah. Still daily driving my two 8-year old OG HomePods. Compared to e.g., Sonos, who discontinued the Play:1 after 5 years, that's pretty good.
