Re: old macs v newer macs

I can really see this backfiring in apple¡¯s face. I had no indication my iMac would be non-upragedable, whatsoever when I bought it. Absolutely zero on website. Why not just upgrade to a PC, run Ubuntu etc?. Apple's slowing down old iPhones & been fined for it. apple admits to slowing down old iphones?BSc

Currently I am hanging on to my old iMac i7 (I think 2011 vintage) because it runs all my old software (though I am considering a virtual box?on the iMac Pro with SL installed and run old software ).?
One thing to keep in mind if you have a more recent machine needing fixing it might be better economics and future proofing to go ahead and do the fix because ?that will run Catalina and 64 bit programs. ?If you go out and buy a cheap oldie replacement you risk being well left behind because an oldie just won't keep up and you'll very soon get frustrated as various bits of software just stop ?updating and Apple stops supporting..
