          I mean, maybe it’s not out of the question that the dog could still be around. Most dogs get neutered young too. 16-18 years old is definitely an old dog but not unheard of for a small breed. Jack Russells are no slouch for longevity.

          But yeah almost certainly they are gone

          This however is completely ignoring the fact that the dog was photoshopped in and could be from really any time

            He doesn’t look 16 to me. The OG iPad was available in the States 15 years ago this month and Europe 15 years ago next month.

            Even assuming this is as early as Christmas 2010 I would argue he is 29 today or maybe just turned 30.

              Being the exact age you’re talking about and vividly remembering that time: we don’t have enough pixels to tell if he’s 12 or 17, honestly

                You seem to be arguing the same point I am from a different perspective; he would have to be at least 16 to be “at least 30” as the other commenter said. I am also arguing against precluding several years of age that the boy in the photo could be all of which would result in him being less than 30 today.

                • You two sound like my siblings during a long car ride. Just arguing over the dumbest shit that doesn’t matter…

                  Besides, even if they’re in their twenties, they’re old enough to buy their own shit! :P

        That means they can have children and buy them devices - but it doesn’t happen automatically when you’re in your 30s, so - potentially?
