It surprises me how Apple continues to add a lot of fancy feature and ignore basic day to day usability features like these.

I'm surprised they aren't using the iPhone 14 in the promo images. Anyway, looks like my old iPhone 7 is finally going to have to retire. :/ I can't wait for a good Linux phone. Edit: 7 years of use isn't bad compared to Android, but the phone is still just fine, and it really bothers me that it's turning into e-waste for no good reason.
My daughter as an iPhone 6, so its many versions pass and I think they have stopped security patches with this upgrade. How much risk is she of being hacked without those updates -- is there any way to track identified risks?

Apple is getting ready to release iOS 15.7, which will work on iPhone 7…

It's the biggest thing I've missed after switching from a Pixel to an iPhone this week. In my first day of iPhone ownership, I received more spam/text calls than in an entire year with a Pixel.
Why would you switch the same week they were going to announce all new stuff?

Select "Silence unknown callers" and you're done. Last month I had a flurry of spam texts and calls. I moved the slider to the "enable" side a few weeks ago and have had zero issues since.
I would have this on if it wasn't for the fact that I get calls from delivery drivers, who all have unknown numbers, and for whom the notification must be immediate.

iOS 15 will continue receiving security updates for a while yet, so there’s no pressing reason to upgrade. Or you could donate the phone to Apple in case they can melt it down and reuse it instead of shredding it.
iOS 14.8 was released on September 13, 2021, iOS 14.8.1 on October 26, 2021, and then nothing else.
Apple’s call and sms spam filtering remains subpar to say the least. When I had a Pixel, I had the option to let the OS transcribe what the potential spammer was saying and end the call. It’s puzzling why Apple isn’t doing more here.

It's the iOS app support that suffers. Apple makes it pretty unbearable to get apps for unsupported devices so I take those and relegate them to single use non-data holding devices like dashcams and other uses.
