![]() There are PLENTY of newer, older iPad models that can run the latest, current versions of iPadOS. ![]() If you need/want an iPad with an up to date iPadOS with access to current, updated apps, then you really need to seriously consider a purchase of a new iPad model OR a much, MUCH “newer” and less expensive, refurbished or used iPad models, from better known, trusted sources, like other Apple product/device retailers/resellers, some locally or from online, on the Web/Internet, capable of running the latest iPadOS versions. So, Failing that OR IF NO joy, then there is nothing more to be done. This does NOT mean that every app in the iOS App Store still has an older version of an app that is still compatible with iOS 12 to be able to download/install, per my previous comments on this. These newer iOS/iPadOS devices must use your same Apple ID user account and password. Then go back to your older iPad, open the iOS App Store, go to the Purchases section of the store app, search for the app/s you wish to try and download to that older iPad and see if an older version of the app is allowed to be downloaded/installed to that older iPad. If you own another much newer iOS device that can run iOS/iPadOS 13 and later, you can install the most recent version app/s onto that more recent iOS device. There is one last thing you can try/attempt, if you need to recover older versions of apps, for old or older, aging iOS devices. The immediately above statement is what you really need to worry about. Look for many more third party apps dropping support for all iOS 12 supported devices as another year progresses. So, it has been over two years, already, and third party app support is already on a downward trend for all iOS 12 supported devices. The last major update to iOS 12 was in 2019, with iOS 12.3. Third party app support, typically, continues for 2-3 years AFTER Apple ends full support of a subset of their devices. These iPad models are now over 7 and 8-years old, in 2021. These iPad models have overall internal hardware that is too old, too underpowered and incapable of running all of the new, advanced and internal hardware resource intensive features of iPadOS. Safari 16 will be released to the public this fall along with iOS 16 and macOS 13.The 2013 iPad Air 1 ( “A” model number A1474/1475/1476 ), iPad Mini 2 ( “ A” model number A1489/1490/1491 ) and the 2014 iPad Mini 3 ( “A” model number A1599/1600/1601 ) cannot upgrade beyond any version of iOS 12, currently at iOS 12.5.5. This way, developers can prepare their websites and web apps for the new technologies before they become available to the public. However, if you haven’t been invited, you can still install Safari Technology Preview without needing the macOS Ventura beta.įor those unfamiliar, Safari Technology Preview is an alternative version of Apple’s web browser that has experimental features. ![]() Other new features in Safari 16 include Shared Tab Group, strong password editing, improved CSS, and Passkeys – a new way to authenticate to websites with Touch ID without having to create a traditional password.Īpple has been inviting some Mac users to try out Safari 16 beta, which also has a version ready for macOS Monterey. The codec is still not working properly in Safari 16 beta, but this should be fixed soon. With the latest version of the Safari Technology Preview, which is now available to developers, AVIF images also work on the web. ![]() You can now download and open an AVIF image on devices running the latest betas of iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura. Multiple companies such as Google, Amazon, Netflix, and Microsoft have been backing the AVIF format, and now it seems that Apple will finally do the same with AVIF coming to iOS and macOS. The codec is an open standard and is currently supported by Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. AVIF also supports modern features like transparency, HDR, wide color gamut, and animated images, so it can even replace GIFs. AFIV image codecįor those unfamiliar, AFIV is a modern image codec optimized to deliver compact files without losing significant quality – unlike the JPG format. The update, which will be officially available later this year, also add support for the AVIF image format on iOS and macOS.Īs shared by Safari and WebKit evangelist Jen Simmons, both iOS 16 and macOS 13 now support AVIF images. Safari 16, which is the latest version of Apple’s web browser that comes pre-installed with iOS 16 and macOS 13, brings multiple new features such as web push notifications, Shared Tab Group, new password features, and more.
