Now you know the real reason for these gloom and doom articles. If they were true people would dump Apple and get a Droid, fact is they are not.
The life cycle of a phone is two years why would you expect to run the latest and greatest software on outdated hardware? I have a 1st generation iPad that still works like it always did, probably because it can not be upgraded to the latest iOS 8.
I have a 4s iPhone running OS 6, and a second generation iPad also running OS 6. No problems. Refuse to update the OS system,
.
Have a ten year old iPod, a iBook computer running OS 10.3, a Mac 575 running OS 8 and a Mac Book Pro running Snow Leopard. I’m happy with all my computers.
I will probably upgrade my phone when my contract expires this Fall, reluctantly. I like the old graphics interface, I don’t care for the new one.
That’s why I bought the stock. Love the product, and thought it would be a good investment for when I’m a senior citizen.
