Apple still giving software support to the iPhone 8, released almost 6 years ago. Is there currently another company still pushing updates to a phone that old?

A PC from 2003 still runs a modern OS. No Apple isn’t the good guy, other companies are just even cheaper.

Can it run Windows 11 with that tpm or whatever it was called requirement?

Some very minimal versions of Linux.

And I’m sure an old iPhone can run some jailbroken shit as well. So afaic there’s little argumentative difference.

It can run a very competent desktop. The hard things to run are web browsers.
