Just updating the OS can make a device obsolete, though I’m not 100% convinced that this is due to planned obsolescence. I have an old 16GB iPad that was perfectly adequate when I first got it, but subsequent updates of the iOS version gradually reduced the available storage to the point where, as of the latest version, iOS itself consumes nearly ALL of the device storage, leaving very little for apps, much less for storage of actual files. Basically my iPad is now useless. This is such a shame because I only really use it just as a sheet music reader. This could be easily solved by expandable memory, but of course Apple is only concerned with selling more devices.
