Description

This week, Luke (our resident Gen Z) is grappling with the harsh reality that his beloved 7year old iP{ad has hit its expiry date. No longer able to support the latest apps, it's sparked a bigger question: is it fair - or even ethical - that technology becomes obsolete so quickly?

From nostalgia for the vices we once loved to the environmental and financial cost of constant upgrades, we unpack what it means to live in a world where tech has a shelf life.
