.....Apple always does this.....force upgrades by make stuff obsolete.....

I wouldn't call not being able to run the latest software "obsolete". We bought the 2 when it came out and I would still be happily using mine if I hadn't accidentally dropped it a few years ago. My wife doesn't feel the need to upgrade hers and I'm guessing I'll be using my Air for sometime (unless I drop it). Depends on the user, of course.
....the usual m.o. is that they will stop making OS updates for "unsupported' models.....soon certain apps won't work......eventually, you have an iPad that works but limited......
Tru dat.

Just buy an Android tablet, I'm sure they support their models longer than Apple. That's what competition is for.

I think you should add the "/s" fake mark-up, Lew…

Theres this thing called "technology" that advances pretty rapidly these days...

iP3 is 4 1/2 years old? And runs the latest iO S9 -- but you wont update to it -- and you are upset it wont run iOS 10?

So the minute iOS10 comes out and it wont run it, its useless?

I get the rant, but not sure it applies here?

I'm not upset it won't run iOS 10. However, I'm not impressed with Apple lately. Not mutually exclusive.

That's valid. I'm in that camp. I guess I just didn't see how your post conveyed that. =)

I should have made two paragraphs. Separate thoughts. Occasionally I have them.

Agreed.
