Dracula
Count Dracula possesses functional immortality, having maintained continuous existence since at least the 15th century according to canonical texts. His literary presence spans 127 years, during which he has appeared in over 200 films and countless adaptations.
The vampire's longevity strategy proves remarkably robust. Unlike technological systems subject to planned obsolescence, Dracula requires only periodic blood infusions to maintain optimal performance indefinitely.
iPhone
The iPhone demonstrates a lifespan of approximately 3-4 years before users experience socially mandated obsolescence. Apple has released over 40 models since 2007, each rendering predecessors increasingly non-functional through software updates.
This planned mortality stands in stark contrast to vampiric immortality. An iPhone purchased in 2015 now qualifies as archaeological artefact, while Dracula remains perpetually contemporary.
