I am positive that I am on the right forum. I have at least 3 iPads that can no longer be updated and are no longer supported by crApple. It is no longer possible to download Apps either. If crApple doesn’t want to maintain these tablets why should anyone be locked in?
So your solution is communism ?
I have an iPad and a couple of computers that can no longer be updated. It’s not Apple’s fault; look at Moore’s law. They’re just responding to a marketplace driven by technology and consumer desire.
If they were to stop what they are doing to hold your hand and give you infinite life out of every product they make, they would go out of business.
Cars, refrigerators, microwave ovens, and yes, even cell phones have a useful product life. Many of my electronics are serving useful purposes not having been updated in years; many others are on the donate/recycle pile.
I feel your pain, but really, it’s ok. It’s normal...
The do last a really long time don't they. I still have an original model works fine, still does everything idk did when I bought it and then some, but if I want to run the latest software that new hardware requires I use an iPad Pro. You can pick up iPad air models for a little more than a hundred dollars and they run the latest software.
