iOS 12.5

Submitted by Effective-Ad6542 t3_zxpbsw in iphone

Yes, I am one of these guys that still use an iPhone 6, don't get me wrong the device is pretty functionable...But I am planning on buying a new iPhone at start of 2023. But for now, as time passes a lot of apps are becoming incompatible with iOS 12.5 and its kind of frustrating how apps like Twitter, Medium, Notion, Pocket...etc. don't support iOS 12.5. While I appreciate the fact that the iPhone 6 is an 8 year old phone and the fact that it doesn't have the power to meet the standards of certain apps we have today, yet can't I just download older versions of these apps?

Be glad you got the use out of it that you did.

It’s time to upgrade.

Meanwhile, Android phones equivalent to the iPhone 6 will continue getting app updates probably forever due to the fundamental open nature of Android.

Show me an android device from 2014 that has the same responsiveness as the iPhone 6, plus the OS updates the iPhone 6 did.

The first PIXEL didn’t even come out till 2016.

Irrelevant if the iPhone becomes a device where you can no longer use software, so yes that old Android device is funnily enough becomes the better and more useful.

I think cause so few (relatively) devices get android updates devs code to older SDK versions yea?

You can download older version of apps, just not that old.
