SpaceXray Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 (edited) So my mom bought a second hand iPad for £100 not understanding the possibility of there being an iPad 1 or 2 or whatever.She only really wants to play her bingo on it, which requires an app that requires IOS 6. Which the iPad 1 doesn't support. Leads to me spending the last 5 hours jailbraking her iPad and searching for ways to update it to iOS 6 or android. This is exactly why I don't buy apple products, because the one thing you probably want to do, Apple will be like [snip] No accessability for you person who has even small knowledge of what an .apk is or does and who prefers Android because of it's flexibility. HAHA We've locked everything down to our underpowered devices.I would have been playing KSP for the last 5 hours but this happened instead.Anyone by chance know how do it? lol.it is amazing how people can't research what they buy before buying it. Did you come here just to tell us that a 4 year old iPad doesn't support iOS 6?Anyway apparently you know nothing about Apple and became angry because things didn't go your way.the iPad 1 had crammy hardware. Think of it as a prototype. It was just made to introduce the iPad line. My mother also bought an iPad 1 once without consulting me first haha and of course later on I discovered the giant hardware leap between it and the, say, iPad 2. The Ram got quadrupled, the chip is much better and the next iPad has 2 cameras.You apparently don't under even what Jailbreak is, do you? It is just a hack to free your iDevice from any constraints, but it doesn't magically make the hardware better. The iPad 1 can't go above iOS 5 because of the crappy hardware, so live with it.I was lucky enough to sell mine and get an iPad mini I suggest you do the same before the new iPads get released.And don't you dare throw mud on Apple just because your device is so outdated!btw, there is definitely more than just 1 Bingo app on the AppStore supporting iOS 5...

I discovered the giant hardware leap between it and the, say, iPad 2. The Ram got quadrupled, the chip is much better and the next iPad has 2 cameras. Why would a company release a prototype? That's bad business, unless you intend to deliberately and quickly outdate it. I understand Moore's law (which you seem to have inccorectly applied to the situation.) but they released the iPad 2 a year later with DOUBLE the RAM, not quadruple. You apparently don't under even what Jailbreak is, do you? It is just a hack to free your iDevice from any constraints, but it doesn't magically make the hardware better.The iPad 1 can't go above iOS 5 because of the crappy hardware, so live with it.Nope, apparently YOU don't understand what Jailbreak is. As it allows you to pick what version of IOS you use on your apple device, unfortunately no-one has figured a stable way around signing process that Apple uses to restrict IOS versions to devices. Which means you can only pick from the SUPPORTED IOS versions. It has NOTHING to do with hardware constraints. For example the iPhone 3GS has the same specs as the iPad and runs IOS 6. Soooo, maybe you need to learn to research a subject before blindly throwing your opinions around.there is definitely more than just 1 Bingo app on the AppStore supporting iOS 5... OMG, why didn't I think of this??? I love you. Hey do have Counter-Strike and want to play on line with me??? I'll go and buy a copy of Modern-Warfare so we can play on-line together.Oh, wait you can't just buy any first person shooter and play it with all your friends who have different first person shooters, can you?

sal_vager Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 There's so much 2.3B in here it's silly, guys, arguing over things like this just generates hot air and bad feelings, I think it's time to move on to other subjects.2.3 Forbidden messages Messages made for the perceived purpose of stirring up and otherwise getting a rise from users (ie, flamebaiting, troll posts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
