  25. Compare this to Apple, e.g. an iPad from 2013:
    * ships iOS 7,
    * runs new major iOS 12 from 2018,
    * support updates to 2023.

    a MacBook or iMac from 2010:
    * runs new major macOS release from 2016,
    * with support updates to 2019.

    That's 5 new major releases you'll see, and 10 years of long-term support, e.g. a new TLS root cert for Let's Encrypt.
