   Imagine a world where you have to buy a whole new iPad because the old one is not powerful enough to RUN NOTES.

   Bonus points for “device needs upgrading, device can’t be upgraded”. I have no mouth and I must scream

     @random_access_memory No. It’s a computer. It can run arbitrary programs. It doesn’t matter how old its CPU is. Everything else is just making excuses

     @grumpy_website By the way, in this world, some devices just stop being supported at some point, witch is very standard. And all new features, no matter how complex or elementary, will not make it to these devices because the OS itself will not be updated.

     @twoframesperminute I mean, bundling apps with OS is a stupid choice too

     @grumpy_website Where exactly does it say older versions do not run notes at all?

     What is strange about new features not being backported to old unsupported (!) software? That's exactly 100% standard in software development.

     Sometimes stuff makes sense, and you just become an old man shouting at the sky.

     @grumpy_website Just to be clear: this is about a 13 year old device (4th gen iPad from 2012). The 5th generation iPad runs iPad OS 16. The oldest iPad to run iPad OS 15 or higher is from 2014.
