iPhone
Apple officially supports iPhone models for approximately five to six years following initial release, after which software updates cease and the device enters a state of planned obsolescence. Battery degradation typically accelerates this timeline, with optimal performance declining measurably after 500 charge cycles.
The practical lifespan of most iPhones concludes not through catastrophic failure but through the gentle pressure of incompatibility—applications requiring newer operating systems, networks transitioning to unsupported frequencies, and the social pressure of possessing visibly dated technology.
Wolverine
Born in 1882, the Wolverine specimen has maintained full operational capability for over 140 years. His healing factor arrests the ageing process at its cellular foundations, rendering him functionally immortal barring intervention of sufficient magnitude to overwhelm his regenerative capacity—a threshold that has proven exceptionally difficult to identify.
Conservative projections suggest indefinite continued operation, limited only by cosmological timescales. The subject has already outlived countless technologies, nations, and social movements, and shows no indication of approaching obsolescence. His cellular architecture simply refuses to acknowledge entropy.
