Eventually, updates may stop for the original iPhone, but not for now. Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) came out after Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) came out. However, the Panther OS is, as far as I know, no longer updated.

thank god for that.



anyway, apple still updates old ipods, and the software that iphone1 and iphone2 run on are similar enough that updates will continue long enough. I don't think there's anything to worry about here.

Why did they abandon Windows ME? I had it and I never had a problem with it...

I too had ME and never had any problems, but you are right it was an appetizer for XP.

I think we can safely assume updates until at least this time next year. Apple's internal accounting for v1 included 2 years on the books. After that, who knows?

yea i do think that they will eventually kill the iphone 1 and everyone will have the iphone 2. but i think that even thought that will in fact happen that they still need to keep the iphone 1 up to date.
