    Just an example: If Apple simply wants to turn your iPhone into a brick, it can do that and there is no one who can reverse it.

        They already do so with apps.

        If Apple deems the app too old, then it won’t be compatible and is as useful as a brick.

          You know I have software on my PC old enough I can’t run it even in compatibility mode, I’d need to spin up a VM to run it or a pseudoVM like DOSBox, it’s not unheard of it’s not even uncommon.
