No. With Android you can still run newer versions of apps on older OSes that aren't being pushed out to slowly make your device run slower! The idea that you need the latest OS and not just the latest security updates is baffling to me.Amazing in the can’t say the same thing for Androoooid
Sorry but this is not even remotely true many Mini android version is from 8.0 on word actually it started with android Oreo onward some abs are not compatible certain devices even the hardware support adjust the developers haven’t even bothered to make sure that they work across the entire lineup of hardware. Moreover what’s worse is not just the app compatibility across all devices is the OS so if the android app has been made for certain OS it cannot be pushed down or download it manually to an older android OS version
I don't think that's fair.
Of course the new iPad Pro is great. It’s just severely underutilized for the chip inside. And today apple gave little Reason of anything coming to entice anyone with a 2018 pro or newer to upgrade.
I agree.
I think that is true of every single Mac I've ever owned, given my use cases. A faster chip will get whatever I want to do done faster. I'll never complain about that.
Apple gave those reasons when the M1 iPad was released, but only to those that wished for a more powerful, keep-for-longer iPad. Everyone who wants a Surface equivalent is going to continuously be disappointed by Apple for another 5 to 10 years.
Partly that the OS is mature, partly selective feature sets for older models, partly that the A9 is a powerful chip, almost absurdly so for a phone back in 2015/16, this just underlines that...
I agree.

I held back on buying an(other) iPad for almost a decade. The M1 IPP changed my mind. Now it has enough storage, RAM, and processor power to last me another decade.
For me, the Post-PC era starts with the M1 IPP.
To be fair, iOS 14 is still pretty snappy on my 6S. The thing that drove me to upgrade to the 12 Pro last fall was the horrendous battery life. I didn't feel like replacing it again to keep it usable for a little longer. If it hadn't been for that I would have kept it another year.
So my Mini 4 will still receive updates (I normally use my iPad Pro) and my 2016 SE ("home" phone, so don't run anything on it)
So leave my 2016 SE on 14. And upgrade my everyday phone the 12 Pro. Maybe a sign of performance issues on older platforms, but leave it an option to upgrade. Maybe a way to downgrade if you do a DFU since the older version would still be signed.
This is ain’t 1980 anymore and devs can drop some devices in the cutting room floor as they like when they believe apps won’t run nicely on certain devices.
Ok, for one thing Apple isn't slowing down older devices. Let's shut that theory down right here.
Battery life on a 6s plus with iOS 14 is miserable, even with a 3 month old battery. Phone performance is …OK for normal everyday tasks but you can’t charge the phone again and again.. I totally agree with you! People reading this with A9 devices on older batteries, don’t bother changing it again. It’s over, if you can afford buy a new iphone. The 6s plus was such a great device, bought it on day one and loved it for many years, but at this age and time with iOS 14, the old SoC just eats the battery like crazy.
