Comment on Why iOS 6 Just Turned Your iPad 1G Into a Paperweightparent

Comments

Problem is: a lot of apps require a recent version of iOS.

A likely solution would be to stick with old versions of your apps running on an old iOS version, but:

* you don't get the feature updates

* you don't get the bugfixes

* some old version of apps just won't work anymore (especially the news apps that connect to a server)

* if you've got an app that constantly crashes (I've had it with one game in particular), you're stuck with it

Right now, my iPad 1 is running the latest iOS 5. It's obviously slower than iOS 4 but I could update all of my apps. For now...
