But all of the things that I payed for on my ipod, the games, the movies, can no longer be used again. Thats kind of ridiculous if you ask me. Oct 26, AM. The idea that Apple made a corporate decision to simply eliminate all older iTouch devices from existence baffles me. Why would I want to invest in any apple product knowing full well that in a few years I will simply have to throw it away. I don't have a lot of money to invest in things like this. Do you? There must be millions of the older iTouch devices out there that are good for nothing but a landfill somewhere.
Someone said all older computing equipment eventually goes away. Not so. I can still download old applications for those old OS's. There is no NEED to throw them away. I will always be able to get old apps for them.
I can still get old apps for win3. The older Apple device are now actually useless. That is the diffference, and it is a big one. As someone pointed out, it's corporate greed. So, yes, this and all other posts on this subject should be turned into an Apple bashing, Android vs IOS debate until we eventually get Apples attention. Really, the only way to get Apples attention on this matter is to switch away from them and hit them in thier greed which is exactly what I am going to do.
They came out with the first GUI years ago and made the corporate decision to not keep in touch with thier customers. Now look at them. The same thing is going to happen with the IOS, but much faster this time. It won't take long for people to figure out they simply have to replace there perfectly good hardware because Apple got greedy. Too bad. They made a good product. Dec 27, AM. Dec 27, PM. You've made very valid points.
I for one will not replace either the iPod Touch that is now virtually useless nor the iPhone 4 that will no doubt be heading down the same path to iOS obsolescence Planned obsolescence is purely about corporate greed. I choose to stop feeding the gluttonous monster. Dec 29, PM. Dec 30, AM in response to disapointed brazilian In response to disapointed brazilian.
You are seeing the power of the market here because there is not enough demand to support the old products. So they are being dropped by both Apple and the developers. Dec 30, AM. Feb 3, PM. Thanks for your helpful comments, Allan. You must be so pleased with yourself and your modern toys. Some real advice for the folks posting here would be to do as I've just done, or something similar, which is Many aren't great and I can't tell you what's available in other categories but I imagine there's still plenty out there that will meet what you are looking for.
I found a YouTube manager that works when I looked for that. I've already downloaded 20 or so decent little games for her to play just from looking through 3 pages of the Just to make it clear though, I too am sick of Apple's constant pressure to upgrade. I've been a Mac user since OS9 days and have never seen it reach the point it has now.
They even now officially state a recent development that they do not support devices that are more than 5 years old as they consider them obsolete - their own words on this very site. I have no plans to upgrade my current Mac or iPods again. Feb 17, PM. Oh yes, your iPod Touch is clearly useless. It only browses the internet, plays music and videos, still can use thousands upon thousands of apps that support iOS 4.
Complete and utter trash now. Good for only a paper weight, huh? However, here are some categories of apps you may be interested in: Apps Optimized for 4-inch Screens iPhone 5, 5C and 5S, iPod touch 5th and 6th generation. Back: Ask:. Article ID: A E23 1 8. Comment on this Article. Comments 3 :. This is brilliant, but it needs some work.
You'll need to find out what each device does and doesn't have, and add that to your search query. Additionally, some apps won't tell you what the problem is. I don't know how to work around that. Keep it up, and good luck! That would probably be because this article has nothing to do with what you're looking for. Subpages 2 : Rate This Article Share. Apple Club Sitemap. Steve Jobs.
