Heheh can't wait to see how disgustingly slow Apple manage to make the older devices. What a great business model.
Honestly, I'm more on the android side of things honestly... I still like apple's products, but the competition has caught up to the point where they offer a better value over apple's products. My thoughts on iOS 11 is more like meh... Only thing that I really liked is the stuff they did to the iPads with the little dock that you can open up to open apps...
It seemed a bit weird and confusing at first but after seeing some videos I actually like iOS 11. The only changes I want in iOS 11 is the 'Smart Invert' feature to just be a dark mode and a less disruptive volume HUD (it was gone in beta 1 but reappeared in the second beta). I would update to it right now on my 6s but I don't want to daily a beta software.
I like it. The betas have worked pretty well. But I also am using it on my 7 Plus so the newest software works well with the newest hardware. It has a clean and useful interface, and I welcome the many changes.
It will be interesting to see how iPhone 5s and iPad Air 2 handles this update, because at the time of release they will be 4(5s)and 3(Air2) years old. I couldn't care less about all Maps and Siri and similar improvements, because I live in small country, where most of it is unsupported anyway. I'll update my 7 Plus as soon as possible, but I'll wait with my iPad Air 2, because I don't want it to become unforgivably slow like with my iPad 2 back in 2013 when iOS 7 dropped. Also, is there any reliable untethered jailbreak available for iOS 10.1.1? The last time I checked, there were only semi-untethered or something like that
I have an iPad 2 running the latest IOS 9, that is really slow, but its a bit more forgiving when you realise it is only a Cortex-A9 @1ghz
Yeah at a snails pace, once you are in a third party app it's not bad, but the stock apps are very slow, and Apple disable some features such as Siri
The biggest issue with these old iPads, I think, is the inability to browse the internet normally, which is what most people besides kids use them for. Safari crashes and reloads pages too often and it gets annoying quickly. I don't know why is happening, amount of RAM, maybe?
I'll be honest 512mb of ram wasnt a lot back then either, Web pages have become more ram intensive so the poor iPads don't work as good. Also the scrolling performance can now suffer too
And.... there goes support for the iPad with Retina, or the 4th generation iPad. That was the last 32 bit iPad ever.
Yeah, it's a shame as the A6 died too quick, anyway let's hope the A7 runs for a long time, like the A5
