Frankly, comments like this make me *deeply* concerned about my longevity on this platform. I use a phone that's several years old and I have absolutely no interest in updating it until it physically fails beyond repair and comments like yours fly absolutely contrary to zero waste. #fail

we’re using the longest possible support matrix that we can. the most recent device that can’t upgrade past 15 is the iPhone 7, which came out 9 years ago and no longer receives security patches from Apple - it’s officially unsupported

@samuel.fm
also I can see from the stats that we have double-digit numbers of users on iOS 15

Just a shower thought: Would it be possible to support end-of-life devices via the web client? Maybe create a minimalistic version for old devices with a bare minimum of functionality? This could also have other uses for testing (or automations/agents...)

Some new web features (don't know which are used) will not work in that old version of safari. There's no good way to install a newer browser engine on iOS 15 either.
