All too common. I've had several devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) killed because Apple stopped providing any sort of software support until practically everything I used them for bitrotted away. The only old Apple device I have that still works fine is my iPod Nano, since it's too dumb to have this problem. I also have had to replace two otherwise pristine phones as 2G (Motorola Razr) and 3G (iPhone 5) services were discontinued, so there's that too.
