iPhone 5, iPad 4, users in trouble, Apple warns

Apple, the producer of iPhone 5 or iPhone 5c, has confirmed that
the users of the particular brand will be in trouble soon following
planned introduction of a new operating system which would render
the named phones useless.
The new operating system iOS11, set to be rolled out later this year
will effectively make the iPhone 5 and 5c device obsolete in terms
of Apple’s ecosystem.
According to the news.com.au, the software update will run only on
devices with a 64-bit processor, meaning it won’t be compatible
with the guts of the iPhone 5 or iPhone 5c that feature 32 bit
processors.

The same goes for the iPad 4.
While the phone will still work (and it’s a little bit amazing that it still
does), users won’t be able to download the latest apps or security
upgrades to protect against hackers and vulnerabilities.
Such a move has previously been hinted at by Apple, with users
opening 32-bit software in iOS 10.3 being met with a message
saying the app will not work with future versions of iOS. And back
in 2015, Apple told developers that all new apps had to be written in
64-bit code.
When the expected change was reported earlier this year, a number
of readers expressed disappointment saying they preferred the
more compact size of the old device, which is notably smaller than
its successors.
But the first two generations of the iPhone 5 are certainly getting
old.
The first iPhone 5 went on sale nearly five years ago and was the
last Apple smartphone to be overseen by Steve Jobs.
It was the company’s second iPhone to support five major versions
of iOS: six, seven, eight, nine and 10. But that run has now come to
an end. (Source VANGUARD)
