      I mean, it is a three year old device by now. While I wouldn’t consider it old, it’s definitely not new anymore.

      One reading of ‘to venerate’ suggests you respect the thing for its advanced age. Another is just straight up synonymous with ‘well respected’.

      It does feel slightly off as a choice of words, I don’t think it’s strictly wrong.

        Not strictly wrong, but it’s a really weak choice stylistically. Feels like that thesaurus tab was open for about twenty seconds.
