Hmm. Checks ancient iPhone SE 1st gen, doesn't have a SIM, not connected to
wireless... Pages (a very old version) still works. Same with Keynote.
Didn't try Numbers, no reason to expect that it won't work. The iPhone SE
was replaced by an iPhone SE 2nd gen, which has now been replaced by an
iPhone 16e (what would have been the SE 4th gen except someone at Apple got
cute) The SE is NINE YEARS OLD. Still works, including the Apple apps which
haven't been updated in years.

Good question. He’s simply too stupid to read and understand the phrases
“doesn’t have a SIM” (no cell connection) and “not connected to
wireless” (no network connection, as there’s no Ethernet on a cell
phone.) The two devices in question were not connected to a network for
YEARS. It’s IMPOSSIBLE for either of them to have seen an Apple server for
YEARS, they had no network connection!

Arlen’s an idiot.
