What’s kept me on iOS for this long has been being able to run current OS on often ridiculously-out-of-date hardware, after getting burnt by an HTC phone that was stuck on Android 2.2 despite being in my hands less than a month before Honeycomb shipped.

That was in the era when Steve Jobs’ legacy still visibly mattered. I now have an iPhone 5c and iPad mini (1) that are on different OSes for the first time, as iOS 10 won’t run on the iPad which is still a fine daily-use piece of kit. But the CPU power and memory are too “low-powered” for “today’s” system, apparently.

How much toxic waste can the planet afford just to churn the latest software numbers?
