I recently was able to get back my 4th gen iPad that I used for university and got excited to start using it again just for basic stuff like searching stuff on the browser, reading comics and such. However I quickly realized that I was unable to download anything from the AppStore as my iOS version is 10.3.4 and apps like Firefox request at least iOS 14. This wouldn’t be an issue if I still had the apps downloaded but it isn’t the case.
I was able to re download a few apps through the Purchased tab on the AppStore but some of them are not available anymore (ComicFlow for example). So yeah… What now?
It’s planned obsolescence as I can still install (almost) whatever I want on an older Nexus 7 (it’s unusably slow by modern terms but if I really wanted…)

Same here for my ipad mini

I hate it so much. And it pretty much happens with any piece of technology.
