Planned obsolescence hit hard today.
So in 2017 my iPad music adventures started with a shiny new 12.3 gen 2 IPad Pro.
I still maintain it was the last great iPad for music making due to having a headphone jack and therefore an audio input. Imagine how handy that has been.
This month, I realised it has received its final updates and is destined to remain on iPad os 17.7.5
I knew 7 years of support was the deal, but it a shame such a wonderful machine is now in entering its Autumn years. This was brought into focus when I preordered Dronelab pro whose requirement are set at iPad so 18.
Now I have other iPads, the best being an 12.3 M2 pro so the journey continues;
But for now I would ask developers to support what you can, just because it’s old doesn’t mean it’s done, I would hope you would understood that by now.
This weekend I will be raising a beer to all the gen 2 iPad Pros out there, the art they will have drawn, the people they will channelled into music, and the music they have made. Cheers.

I am fully with you @mrgum6y . My main concerns are electronic waste reduction and giving people who are on a tight budget the opportunity to make music on an older device. I still use an old iPad Air 2 running iOS 12 as my secondary iPad for music. And I’m not interested in fancy UI features and bloated AI systems. The good news is that there are still developers who build apps that run on iOS 12.x. Beepstreet, 4Pockets, Cem Olcay, Bleass to name a few, and let’s not forget many Bram Bos apps, LoopyPro and AUM. The list is much much longer.
Apple might raise the bar soon and even these devs have to follow the sad trend.
If there is an app that won’t run on my systems I just use another one - a missed opportunity for the “latest os version only” dev.
I have a 10.5 iPad pro second gen and I agree it's a great music making machine.
Apple would not let me unsubscribe from Apple TV until I upgraded my ipad to the latest os. I was already on 18-something, but not good enough.
This kind of consumer mistreatment is why people grow to distrust and hate certain firms.
Likewise … I had my iPad Pro 2017 replaced on the Apple battery replacement scheme a year ago, and it’s working like nearly new so i reckon I’m good for a while yet.
