KiltedTim - That would make sense, but Boston Acoustics is not "upgradeable" so I'm left hanging (e.g. no internet connection or USB port to upload a new release). $600 investment rendered useless (for streaming music) because Apple updated to the latest bluetooth release.
Updates to the latest bluetooth standard in Apple devices should also be backwards compatible so as not to obsolete all the peripherals that were sold to work with the older bluetooth standard. That is common process in high tech equipment and should have been done here as well. Apple should not blindly upgrade bluetooth haphazardly like that as it impacts everyone's "setup". A backwards compatible solution should be added to the next iOS release with auto-sense to determine which release the connected device is using so that operation is backwards compatible.
Apple works (or should I say worked) with Ford, Audi, Boston Acousitcs, and other third party vendors to allow for "Apple Anywhere" to take place and then without notice just changes the bluetooth standard supported? Again, not only is that poor software methodology, but poor business practice as well - in my humble opinion.
Hopefully, this will be taken care of in the next iOS release. Sorry to vent, but I think that is not a way to treat third party vendors and end customers. Apple enables competitors, when taking steps like this, to come in and propose solutions that won't change on a moments notice and provide some assurance to interoperability for the future. I'm an Apple fan and have been one since the late '80's when I purchased my first IIci Mac for $5,000. i just hope this is not a new trend.
