ios 6 not compatible for ipad 1?, ios 6 not compatible for ipad 1?

Mr Hassinger, some advice just for you

You may try to bore everyone with your fancy words and 'Clock Speeds' which, FYI is to do with the speed of a car, but the cold hard truth is... Apple have been capable of providing support up to IOS 5.1.1 so, why stop now!? Greed.

Greed my friend, is the main factor in this lack of support. Every single staff member is now rolling in money, so what more could they want... Money. I don't care about clock speeds (Automobile 0-100km measurement) what I care about is another 1000 dollars just being put into a two year investment that eventually will lose support. I, like most of you, can't just afford to go to the nearest apple stockist and hand over the credit card. It's the complete opposite with apples current CEO, yes he still cares about the 1000 dollars, but he WANTS it in his multi BILLION dollar kitty. So, to quote my old argument, 'We are apple's most LOYAL and TRUSTING customers, yet they still chose to throw us out the window'

So, James, if I may call you that... How smart are you now?

ipad1 is too old,no reason to continue supporting ipad 1

He hit the nail on the head, most users don't even WANT or EXPECT the newsest features from iOS 6 to work on the origional iPad... We just want a maintance release of iOS for the origional iPad...

For example it would be nice if htye could fix Safari so it doesn't crash so often, I wish I could write something in the crash reports that I know my iPad sends to Apple and ask them to FIX safari. You can keep your Apple Maps app, I barely use Google Maps on the my iPad as it is.

Hardware in the iPad one is STILL perfetly find for what people use it for but the BASE apps that people use like Mail, Safari, Calendar, Music are falling behind and we dont' have alot of options to replace them.

And the iPhone 3GS isn't then?

So the biggest issue with Apple dropping iPad1 despite the fact it's the same as an IPhone 4 is Security Vulnerabilities. When IOS 6 came out, there were w whole list of CVE's issued for old releases that are ONLY fixed in IOS 6. Please blissfully continue to use your product with it's security holes. I think it is crappy that Apple doesn't address those. The iPad has an A4, which is much faster than the 3gs. If anything else, they should be providing security fixes.

Resolution create and collect many signatures, maybe it helps?

In a pinch, all users should write e-mails.

We are many people and Apple lives of our money!

What else can we do?

I bought my iPad in March 2011 new!

Too old? 19 months and electric scrap?

So the iPad 4 is coming out in a day or two.

No trade in options to reduce our burden, Apple? It's only fair that you offer this to us since according to what I hear on Facebook, you're giving those who bought a third gen iPad over the last month a one-to-one exchange.

What to do with my original iPad? Throw away? I thought Steve Jobs was an environment freak!

pvbrug, your iPad 1 is not a brick, and your comment adds nothing to the discussion. In fact, it is that kind of comment that reduces the seriousness of the discussion, and waters down the arguments that are being made. As for your iPad 1, you could mount it in your kitchen to provide a recipe portal, place it on your bedside table as an alarm clock, or if you cannot bear to have something in your home that can no longer be updated, give it to a charity...all before you consign it to landfill.

For the general discussion, with the release yesterday of the iPad 4 and Mini, people with an iPad 2 should start to consider when their device will be made obsolete. Based on the time between the international release of the iPad 1 and IOS 6 (845 days), the iPad 2 will reach this point around 17 Jul 2013. Perhaps iPad 2 owners might like to preemptively join this discussion and we (iPad 1 & 2 owners) could together start a campaign to convince Apple to not build artificial obsolescence into these products.

Alright, this has gotten ridiculous.

I woke up this morning to 5 updates to my iPad. One app cannot be updated because it requires iOS 6 and above.

The app in question? Cut the Rope.

I don't understand why a puzzle game meant for kids require the new OS just for a few new levels. Heck, it was working fine just a few days ago.

This isn't cool, Apple. Especially since I paid money for this app. Make it work on iOS5 again! Especially since I'm still unable to secure a loan for the 4th gen iPad, said iPad doesn't have a set release date yet over here, and is expected to cost somewhere around $1800 in Malaysian money for the basic 16GB Wi-Fi only model when released in Malaysia.

Great, Angry Birds is probably next given that it's by the same publisher.

I concur ramchyld, I bought both experiments and hd cut he rope, but what do you know! iOS 6 required

Poo Poo to apple what!

I still want apple products, but I am just annoyed at this change of outlook for apple.

And the iPad mini, stupid or what!

Please reply to me

Very Annoyed

Am I missing something. Surely Apps already installed will still work fine. The only annoyance is the update number still appearing under App Store.

I've Jailbroken my iPad and unstalled Update Hider to ignore any App that isn't compatable with IOS 5.1.1

Dear Mr. or Mrs. Arcadelt

What part of my statement do you think does not add something to your precious discussion? Ah got it, Steve Jobs was not an environment freak

Cheers,

pvbrug

Hello Pvbrug

Your emotive comment that you may need to discard your iPad 1 is the part that doesn't contribute. Extreme views add nothing, whereas a more balanced comment would be very valuable. After all, most here are trying to get Apple to consider reassigning IOS updates to the iPad 1, and extreme views alienate all readers, including any Apple representatives. BTW, it is not my discussion - I didn't start it.

Have a nice day...
