Considering legal action... Just because I can.

THIS IS A TROLL THREAD

I 100% disagree with the real reason the OP wants to sue. If they had legitimate grounds that this iPad had to run on software prior to iOS 8, I could understand a letter to Cook but not a lawsuit.

Look, I am 100% not happy losing a very important iOS feature (to me) with iOS 10 (being able to take screenshots of iTunes DMR movies, which I knew they were going to axe eventually); unfortunately I lost iOS 9.3.5 with my iPhone hack / activation lock fiasco.

but as everyone else has said, OP, you elected to upgrade your iPad 2 to iOS 8.0. That's the risk you took.

BTW my mom's iPad 2 is running iOS 5 and it now runs like crap because everything else has moved on, while my mom refuses to upgrade. Just sayin'.

So are you suggesting that we coddle him, rather than give him the ridicule he's earned? Should we shield him from being told he's wrong and acting like a fool? What good does that do? What progress is made?

We should ignore.

I have a lawyer on retainer too!

But seriously, if you are so big and bad....why do you need to post on MacRumors about it?

I have a huge team of attorneys on retainer, and last week I started a lawsuit against Apple because my 3GS doesn't support iOS 10. That's just BS, and Apple _should_ have to update my 3GS with dual cameras! Planned obsolescence!! Let's get this Class Action rolling!

If you have money just buy a nice iPad Pro, or go with a competitor as mentioned before. At some point you have to consider the wasted time of complaining about this and possibly more time in court. Time is money!

I support this. My iPad Air is not usable after being nagged to install iOS 10 multiple times a day. Not that iOS 9 ran much faster. If you accidentally click to upgrade, it is all over... no going back. How can Apple keep you from using the OS you paid for to begin with? This alone should be worth legal action.

My iPad Air 1 is terribly slow now and I find it impossible to use due to the slow speed. Apple broke their product and they won't let you downgrade to a more usable OS.

You and the OP can sue Apple together...

I would have thought very hard before putting an air1 on iOS 10...you're too trusting.

Can't believe no one's busted out the popcorn for this one yet...

I have a team of attorney's too. And a private jet that I take to my private island. My cadre of financial advisors suggest I "JUST BUY A NEW ONE" which would make sense considering my expansive resources.

But then I couldn't troll about how upset I am at "the man" and use my tech from 4 years ago.

And everyone knows how much the wealthy love using prehistoric tech. That "state of the art" crap is reserved for you "average" folk. Not me. The wealthy prefer to use the old stuff.

All because we CAN. Boo-ya! Now back to my caviar and watching Honey Boo-Boo on my first generation TiVo!
