Is macos ventura good12/2/2023 ![]() ![]() I pulled out my older ipad, reset it, and decided to create a new apple account for my business. I have a side business, and a few weeks ago I decided to do a pop-up and needed a device to take payments on. If you try to download a new App and the latest version does not support your version of iOS, the App Store will NOT download the latest compatible version, it will just fail! The App Store will only let you download previous versions of software you have already installed. I know other companies are often worse but we really need legislation around this something ala if the biggest players drop support for some hardware let the user upgrade anyway even if performance will be worse, otherwise release all drivers so that you can at least install linux or alternatively release some "trimmed down versions" of the OS for legacy systems that can still run basic functionality. It's the same thing with older iPads, i wanted to use one as a "hub" for homekit, but you can't because it can't update ios beyond 9 (regular browsing + video + 99% of apps is also broken), so people just throw it in the dumpster with a great battery, a fine screen and a processor that could easily be used as a server, video player, browser etc. But i could only upgrade to Monterey with the legacy patcher like many others, seemingly problem free. I generally really like Apple, and is planning on retiring my 2014 Macbook Pro for an M2, but it's still working absolutely great. It seems wrong to me in an age of excessive e-waste that seemingly arbitrary thresholds is set that has zero hardware links. Is there any legit reason Apple is hastening the drop of support for older computers when they can be upgraded just fine with the OpenCore Legacy Patcher? ![]()
