- resource_waste 2y agoShh Apple is using the "Social Proof" infulence. Everyone else does it, you must do it too! Or you are a weirdo that needs to be ostracized!
- whartung 2y agoWe bought our current iPad in 2016. I honestly have no idea what version of the OS it runs. Safari still works, it runs the games my wife downloads. It can print to our printer. Mission accomplished. Appliance. Like the toaster oven.
- dialup_sounds 2y agoI wouldn't bet on it, given that that's all of the iPads from the last ~8 years.
- forgotacc240419 2y agoBased on the user data I went through last year to see if we still needed to support anything before Safari for iOS 16 there was a surprising number of ancient iPads hanging about. I get the impression a lot of iPads are handmedowns. With pencil support and sidecar, I see hardly any reason to move on from the 6th gen model. Maybe they'll disable sidecar on it when it's no longer supported or something. Think the bulk of tablet use is fairly resource light; nowhere near the scale of multitasking going on as there is on phones. I've a ten year old Android one that's still pretty usable for me (OLED screen so mainly reading and media; it struggles with the web unless you've adblockers and whatnot though)
