My mother-in-law is in the same boat. She is not a demanding user. She basically uses her iPad for 3 things: buying things on Amazon, looking at pictures of her grandson on Facebook, and checking her stocks with the Fidelity app. Well, the Fidelity app recently informed her that she could no longer login unless she installed a required upgrade. It turns out the upgrade is not compatible with the version of iOS that runs on her hardware. So just like that her iPad became obsolete.
- shdh 9y agoHave her try using the web applications instead of native iOS applications.
- gruez 9y agothat's probably worse. non-updated ios => non-updated safari => 0days galore
- brianwawok 9y agoYou should be OK going to Fidelity.com Not the deep web Of course not easy to communicate to parents or grandparents who are less tech savvy
- 45h34jh53k4j 9y agowhat about nytimes or any of the other sites that have been compromised by malicious ad networks? Its not safe.
- brianwawok 9y agoI did not say nytimes, I said fidelity ;)
- o_nate 9y agoGiven her level of tech-savviness, that's not as easy as it sounds. Also, it seems more secure to have her just use the app - less possibility of phishing attempts and the like. She already bought a new iPad anyway.
- lostmsu 9y agoCan't you make a shortcut for Fidelity on the "desktop"?
- lozenge 9y agoFYI, iOS lets you add sites to the home screen, when you do they behave almost appish.
