Awesome story! My dream phone is the 1st Gen SE, which I used on/off from 2017-2024; but with time it's suffered too many battery drains/replacements, with websites being very hard to navitage on the old 4-inch screen.
I love the iPhone 4 almost as much. Back when the 3G networks were still up (2022), I also used just an iPhone 4 for months; I only gave it up when I got a job that required "the apps"...

Tried going 'mainstream' last year with an iPhone 15, but ultimately it didn't stick. Recently got my current 6S+ with a 100% battery health (replaced by previous owner), and no joke this battery life is doing better than my wife's 15 Pro, and overheating is hardly as bad.
The 6S will surely hold on for a few more years... literally yesterday I got locked out of the AirBNB app, which now requires iOS 16, so I just switched to the web app in Safari and hardly blinked.

Incoming rant about modern apple...

People misunderstand the whole battery degradation issue soo much...
What they did was, they made great SOCs that took a very specific amount of power to perform as advertised. The whole problem was that they didn't realize old batterys couldn't provide enough power to said SOCs to perform as advertised years later. So THEY SILENTLY DOWNCLOCKED on that condition.... TERRIBLE!

When the outrage arrived, they made this optional, It defintly is still RIDICULOUS because you sold the original hardware advertisiing a specific GHz, I Couldn't belive when they actually addressed it the correct way.

Mine is still performing at 100% perffromance, but i see a battery replacent in my very near future.

TLDR:
* Apple pushed some SOCs too far back in the day, soo far that they couldn't function at the advertised frequency after battery degradation.
* Apple addressed this by throttling SOCs with degraded batteries, fueling conspiracy theorys.
* Apple got rightfullu attacked about this non-disclosed throttling
* Apple made said throttling optional (thank god, can't belive this is up to the user).

I just did better PR then apple ever did🤣

Just tested out 7.2.7 on my Sawtooth under Leopard. Video downloading (I use 360p my Sawtooth) and streaming (I primarily use QuickTime as ffplay has a tendency to cut videos off a few seconds early) work as they should. Thanks for giving us this new release!

Gonna add e̶r̶r̶o̶r̶ ̶d̶e̶t̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ AI to the next PPCMC release so that if you i.e. request 480p and it isn't an available format it will get you to the next available format (like 360p).
