alt Hacker NewsI have an iPad Air that I love, made in 2014, last iOS is 12.5. I’d love a slightly more current browser, but the rest of the software is working fine. I spend 6-7 hours using it each day.
Just a browser is all I want.

And this is a great example of planned obsolescence because Apple does not allow any other browser with its own rendering engine on ios - all browsers on ios are forced to use ios provided browser engine, and thus when they stop updating it, all browsers, even the non-Apple when become "outdated" to. All apps that also use WebViews also become "outdated". (Note that Safari is "bundled" as part of ios and thus stops receiving updates when ios updates stops).
