2.7M Brits still use a 3G only handset, as the 3G switch off looms closer
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 10 Jan 2024

I have a 3G device still able to watch YT and a very old Kindle Fire that has NewPipe [1] installed for watching YT in bed (whilst my phone is on charge).
I don't see why not either - if the device was capable of H264 when it was released, why not now?
