Got a slightly older Apple device that Apple refuses to update? Fuck you. Right in the ass. Dry.
My 2016 gen 1 iPad Pro isn’t getting this update for the first time (iOS 17). It barely runs the last iOS, but still gets security updates.
I’m fine with that.
👍
I have the 2018 model iPhone and I got this update, what do you have that isn’t getting it?
iPod 7.
What is a “slightly older” apple device in this context? They still support back to the xr/se2 with ios 17.3

iPod 7 for one, it’s newer than the xr.
Internet user reading comprehension challenge (impossible)
Article says it’s for iPhones, not all apple devices
The iPod is an iPhone without cellular. It has Find My etc.
Ok
It does kind of suck though. Those devices are less likely to be stolen but still have wide open access to everything with just a passcode.
Hopefully support is expanded to other devices.
Oh yeah it sucks ass that I can’t enable it on my iPad 10, and i expect my watch se wouldn’t have it either
